FIP: From the FCoV to FCoV23, The Cyprus Case, or A New Perspective in the Way We See Coronaviruses.

Since January 2023 an outbreak of feline corona virus (FCoV) is ongoing in the island of Cyprus, causing a 40-fold increase in PCR confirmed cases of feline infectious peritonitis (FIP) in the 1st 8 months of 2023, compared to the entire 2022. This webinar will follow the FCoV-23 outbreak in Cyprus since 2023. The genetic analysis of the PCR-confirmed FIP cases showed that a recombination of feline coronavirus 1 with a hypervirulent strain of pantropic canine coronavirus (pCCoV) is responsible for this outbreak. The presenters will describe the epidemiological appearance of this outbreak, the differences on the clinical appearance of the “FCoV-23” (proposed naming) as well as the findings from the PCR testing and the whole genome analysis of PCR confirmed cases and what they indicate about disease spread and pathology.

Putting the FIP Puzzle Together

Putting the FIP Puzzle Together
Feline infectious peritonitis (FIP) has been an enigmatic, life-threatening disease of cats for several decades. The webinar updates how to put together the FIP puzzle involving viral cause, pathogenesis, diagnosis, the complexity of treatment, and management strategies for prevention of disease in multi-cat environments.

Treating Feline Infectious Peritonitis (FIP)

FIP is a progressive, fatal disease that may develop in cats following infection with a coronavirus. This session, given by Elizabeth Berliner, DVM, MA, DABVP, will provide an overview of FIP, covering disease transmission, clinical signs, and diagnosis as well as providing an update on new research that may lead to improved diagnostic testing and treatment in the future. Management and prevention of infection in shelter environments is emphasized.

FIP is known as a deadly disease for decades and no cat could ever escape from the fate of dying of this virus. But not anymore – the GS441524 injections found in 2017 had changed the game. Cats were found cured by this drug after a course of around 84 days of injections. However, since the drug is potentially a drug for also the virus causing Covid19, we do not know when – if ever – will this drug be officially approved by the FDA as a treatment for FIP.
Prevent the virus from spreading from cat to cat is equally important. While we know that the virus for FIP is not likely to be transmittable between cats, the FeCV (the original form of FIP virus) is transmittable from cats to cats and so to prevent FIP, we have to take measures to prevent FeCV from spreading from your infected cat to your healthy cats.

The vet may tell you that your kitten got FeCV – feline coronavirus but what does that actually mean?
And the deadly FIP – feline infectious peritonitis that was once a disease killing 100 out of 100 infected cats? What is that and what is my cat’s risk of getting that if the vet said my cat got FeCV?
