Feline coronavirus (FCoV) causes feline infectious peritonitis (FIP). Since 2002, when 20 cats on the Falkland Islands were found to be FCoV seronegative, only seronegative cats could be imported. Between 2005–2007, 95 pet and 10 feral cats tested negative by indirect immunofluorescence antibody (IFA) analysis using two strains of type II FCoV, two transmissible gastroenteritis virus assays, an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and rapid immunomigration test. Twenty-four samples (23%) showed…

Oral Mutian®X stopped faecal feline coronavirus shedding by naturally infected cats

Correlation of Feline Coronavirus Shedding in Feces with Coronavirus Antibody Titer

The results indicate that antibody measurement cannot replace fecal RT-qPCR in the management of FCoV infections in multi-cat environments, but the cats’ antibody titers correlate with the likelihood and frequency of F coV shedding and fecal virus load.

Samples with high virus load cause a trend toward lower signal in feline coronavirus antibody tests

It is concluded that falsely low or negative FCoV antibody tests can occur in samples rich in virus.

This review provides a comprehensive overview of how to approach the diagnosis of FIP, focusing on the tests available to the veterinary practitioner and recently published evidence supporting their use.

Direct Detection of Feline Coronavirus by Three Rapid Antigen Immunochromatographic Tests and by Real-Time PCR in Cat Shelters

The aim of this study was the direct detection of feline coronavirus by real-time PCR and by three different rapid immunochromatographic (RIM) tests detecting antigens in faecal samples of shelter…

Association of the Human Bocavirus With Tonsil Squamous Cell Carcinomas

The hypothesis that human bocavirus infections as a cofactor may have an impact on tumor development in tonsils is supported, although it still remains possible that HBoV solely displays a tumor tropism.

Feline coronavirus infection

In this review, the current clinical, diagnostic, and therapeutic interventions for feline infectious peritonitis, as well as hypotheses of origin are demonstrated.

Another Perspective on Black Fungus Disease in Veterinary

The status of black fungus disease in case reports of coronavirus in susceptible animals is examined, since the disease can occur as a secondary infection in patients with COVID-19 who are being treated with corticosteroids to reduce inflammation.

Untersuchung einer diskriminierenden quantitativen reverse-Transkriptase-Polymerase-Kettenreaktion zum Nachweis mutierter Coronaviren bei Katzen mit feliner infektiöser Peritonitis

Ziel der ersten Studie war es, festzustellen, inwiefern die beiden Aminosauresubstitutionen im Spike-Protein mit dem Auftreten von FIP korrelieren, welche anhand der S-Gen-Mutationen zwischen mutiertem und nicht-mutiertm FCoV unterscheiden soll (S-RT-PCR).

The significant relationship between the breed of the cat and the FCoV antibody titre further supports the notion, proposed previously by the authors, that breed related differences exist in the immunological response to F coV infection.

The antibody pattern in randomly collected solitary cats, in catteries, and cats with clinical FIP showed characteristic differences in titer and incidence, and the implications for the epizootiology of FIP are discussed.

It is concluded that a vaccine against FCoV should be based on F coV type 1-related antigens and that for serodiagnosis of F covirus infection TGEVshould be used to attain the highest diagnostic efficiency.

Prevalence of antibodies to feline parvovirus, calicivirus, herpesvirus, coronavirus, and immunodeficiency virus and of feline leukemia virus antigen and the interrelationship of these viral infections in free-ranging lions in east Africa

Observations indicate that, although the pathological potential of these viral infections seemed not to be very high in free-ranging lions, relocation of seropositive animals by humans to seronegative lion populations must be considered very carefully.

Use of a reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction for monitoring the shedding of feline coronavirus by healthy cats

The pattern of shedding of feline coronavirus (FCoV) was established in 155 naturally infected pet cats from 29 households over periods of up to five years, with a correlation between shedding and antibody titre but the cats could remain seropositive for some time after they had ceased shedding virus.

The molecular evidence presented in this study supporting E canis‐like infection in cats must be interpreted with caution and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing may be necessary until serologic testing is thoroughly validated in experimentally or naturally infected cats.
