Maintenance of rotaviruses in populations • stable in environment • mucosal antibody more important than systemic antibody • persistence and periodic shedding

Transmissible gastroenteritis and respiratory disease in pigs Infectious bronchitis in poultry Feline enteric coronavirus (FEC) and infectious peritonitis (FIP) Ferret (catarrhal enteritis and FIP-like) SARS coronavirus Some other coronaviruses
feline infectious peritonitis M.C. Horzinek and H. Lutz An update on FIP Veterinary Sience Tomorrow Jan, 2001 www.vetscite.org
FIP • fatal disease of young (3-18 mo), or very old in multi-cat houses or catteries • not seen before 1950 • new virus? • old virus, new disease • systemic antibodies not protective, may even be harmful
feline enteric coronavirus • closely related to dog, pig (TGE), human coronaviruses • species specific but K9CV can infect cats • two serotypes • serotype I • more common, 70-95% of isolates, does not cross react with K9CV • difficult to isolate
FeCV, serotype 2 Both serotypes can lead to FIP causing strains
epidemiology • Exposure to FeCV • 25% of cats from 1-2 cat households are seropositive • 75-100% of cats from catteries seropositive • susceptible cats become infected immediately following exposure • kittens can become infected in utero or soon after maternal antibodies drop below protective levels
epidemiology (FIP) • 1:5,000 in 1-2 cat households • 1:20 in catteries • sporadic • clustered (2-3 cats) - rare • rarely epidemic • no gender or breed predisposition
FIP pathogenesis FEC Mild diarrhoea or respiratory illness virus immune system persistent infection low level of replication in epithelial and lymphoid cells
stress pregnancy in young queens elective surgery concurrent infections (FeLV, FIV ?) weaning, sale, shipment, adoption
Virus immune system increased virus replication -> virulent mutants increased ability to grow in macrophages immune-mediated lysis of infected cells cytokines draw in more susceptible cells vascular permeability immune complex related damage

clinical signs • common signs • chronic antibiotic unresponsive fever • progressive anorexia, weight loss • stunting of growth • blood abnormalities • progressive increase in serum proteins • increase in globulins • anemia • serum, urine brown due to bilirubin
clinical signs • “wet” form (poor cell-mediated immunity) • peritonitis • pleuritis • “dry” form (some CMI) • granulomas • enlarged lymph nodes • cloudiness in eye • neurological signs • can change from dry to wet Sharif et al. 2010. Vet Med Int
diagnosis • RT-PCR for FeCoV • Serology (ELISA for anti FeCoV antibodies) • prognosis? • no titre - no FIP but may still be infected • <100 - less chance of developing FIP • >100 - greater chance of getting FIP • increased globulins and protein (>35g/L) • cytology • degenerate and non-degenerate PMN, macrophages, some lymphocytes, protein background • FeCV positive cells (FAT)
