PIFP/50 - KIT TAQVET PERITONITE INFECTIEUSE FELINE CORONAVIRUS PORCINS
PERITONITIS FELINE
Feline coronavirus (FCoV) is a benign virus that replicates in the digestive tract of the cat. It does not usually induce any symptoms in adult cats but it can cause diarrhoea in kittens. Healthy cats excrete viral particles in their faeces and saliva but the situation becomes more complicated when FCoV mutates to a more virulent form which can spread throughout the body and cause major problems. The mutant virus too is excreted in the faeces and saliva but also in the urine and via the airways. It causes a severe, life-threatening disease in felids called feline infectious peritonitis (FIP). The disease can take two different clinical forms: a classic form characterised by the build-up of globulin-rich serous fluid in the abdominal and pleural cavities; and a "dry" form with variable but generally mild symptoms (lethargy, anorexia and hyperthermia). FIP is more common in younger animals (between 6 months and 5 years of age) and cats of over 14. An unprotected cat can get infected by ingesting or inhaling virus from the faeces of an infected cat: excreted virus can persist in the external world for up to three weeks in sufficient numbers to initiate a new infection.
