Detection of feline infectious peritonitis virus-like antigen in ferrets.
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...
متن کاملMonoclonal antibodies to the spike protein of feline infectious peritonitis virus mediate antibody-dependent enhancement of infection of feline macrophages.
Antibody-dependent enhancement of virus infection is a process whereby virus-antibody complexes initiate infection of cells via Fc receptor-mediated endocytosis. We sought to investigate antibody-dependent enhancement of feline infectious peritonitis virus infection of primary feline peritoneal macrophages in vitro. Enhancement of infection was assessed, after indirect immunofluorescent-antibod...
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...
