New tests are being developed, but the antemortem diagnosis of FIP c...

SIR, – Feline infectious peritonitis (FIP) is caused by feline coronavirus (FCoV). It is a well known and widely distributed coronavirus-induced systemic disease in cats and non-domestic felids (O’Reilly and others 1979, Kennedy and others 2002). The disease is characterised by fibrinous to granulomatous serositis with protein-rich effusions in body cavities and granulomatous inflammatory lesio...
