متن کاملFeline infectious peritonitis.
The article discusses feline infectious peritonitis (FIP), an important disease frequently seen in veterinary practice. FIP causes many problems to the veterinarian as it can be difficult to definitively diagnose the disease, as there is no effective treatment, and as prophylactic interventions are not very successful. Although intense research has created a lot of new knowledge about this dise...
متن کاملFeline infectious peritonitis.
Feline infectious peritonitis (FIP) frequently results in death in cats. It is caused by a mutated, highly contagious coronavirus, and it is more common in indoor cats in multicat households. A complex interaction between the coronavirus and the feline immune system causes disseminated vasculitis, which is the hallmark of FIP. New tests are being developed, but the antemortem diagnosis of FIP c...
متن کاملFeline infectious peritonitis – new developments in pathogenesis, diagnosis, and management
Introduction Feline infectious peritonitis (FIP) is a common disease and a frequent reason for referral. Approximately one of every 200 new feline cases presented to American Veterinary Teaching Hospitals represent cats with FIP. FIP is a fatal, immune-mediated disease, triggered by infection with a feline coronavirus (FCoV). FCoV belongs to the family Coronaviridae, which is a group of envelop...
متن کاملA mRNA PCR for the diagnosis of feline infectious peritonitis.
A reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) for the detection of feline coronavirus (FCoV) messenger RNA in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) is described. The assay is evaluated as a diagnostic test for feline infectious peritonitis (FIP). It is based on a well-documented key event in the development of FIP: the replication of virulent FCoV mutants in monocytes/macropha...
