The tissue is then examined by fluorescence microscopy.Mice, Inbred BALB CDNA, Complementary: Single-stranded complementary DNA synthesized from an RNA template by the action of RNA-dependent DNA polymerase. cDNA (i.e., complementary DNA, not circular DNA, not C-DNA) is used in a variety of molecular cloning experiments as well as serving as a specific hybridization probe.Seroepidemiologic Studies: EPIDEMIOLOGIC STUDIES based on the detection through serological testing of characteristic change in the serum level of specific ANTIBODIES. Latent subclinical infections and carrier states can thus be detected in addition to clinically overt cases.Protein Processing, Post-Translational: Any of various enzymatically catalyzed post-translational modifications of PEPTIDES or PROTEINS in the cell of origin. These modifications include carboxylation; HYDROXYLATION; ACETYLATION; PHOSPHORYLATION; METHYLATION; GLYCOSYLATION; ubiquitination; oxidation; proteolysis; and crosslinking and result in changes in molecular weight and electrophoretic motility.Mucopolysaccharidosis VI: Mucopolysaccharidosis with excessive CHONDROITIN SULFATE B in urine, characterized by dwarfism and deafness. It is caused by a deficiency of N-ACETYLGALACTOSAMINE-4-SULFATASE (arylsulfatase B).Transcription, Genetic: The biosynthesis of RNA carried out on a template of DNA. The biosynthesis of DNA from an RNA template is called REVERSE TRANSCRIPTION.Oncogenic Viruses: Viruses that produce tumors.RNA Viruses: Viruses whose genetic material is RNA.Herpesviridae: A family of enveloped, linear, double-stranded DNA viruses infecting a wide variety of animals. Subfamilies, based on biological characteristics, include: ALPHAHERPESVIRINAE; BETAHERPESVIRINAE; and GAMMAHERPESVIRINAE.Alphaherpesvirinae: A subfamily of HERPESVIRIDAE characterized by a short replication cycle. The genera include: SIMPLEXVIRUS; VARICELLOVIRUS; MAREK'S DISEASE-LIKE VIRUSES; and ILTOVIRUS.Genetic Vectors: DNA molecules capable of autonomous replication within a host cell and into which other DNA sequences can be inserted and thus amplified. Many are derived from PLASMIDS; BACTERIOPHAGES; or VIRUSES. They are used for transporting foreign genes into recipient cells. Genetic vectors possess a functional replicator site and contain GENETIC MARKERS to facilitate their selective recognition.Sequence Homology: The degree of similarity between sequences. Studies of AMINO ACID SEQUENCE HOMOLOGY and NUCLEIC ACID SEQUENCE HOMOLOGY provide useful information about the genetic relatedness of genes, gene products, and species.Microscopy, Electron: Microscopy using an electron beam, instead of light, to visualize the sample, thereby allowing much greater magnification. The interactions of ELECTRONS with specimens are used to provide information about the fine structure of that specimen. In TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY the reactions of the electrons that are transmitted through the specimen are imaged. In SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPY an electron beam falls at a non-normal angle on the specimen and the image is derived from the reactions occurring above the plane of the specimen.Antibodies, Neutralizing: Antibodies that reduce or abolish some biological activity of a soluble antigen or infectious agent, usually a virus.Recombinant Fusion Proteins: Recombinant proteins produced by the GENETIC TRANSLATION of fused genes formed by the combination of NUCLEIC ACID REGULATORY SEQUENCES of one or more genes with the protein coding sequences of one or more genes.Frameshifting, Ribosomal: A directed change in translational READING FRAMES that allows the production of a single protein from two or more OVERLAPPING GENES. The process is programmed by the nucleotide sequence of the MRNA and is sometimes also affected by the secondary or tertiary mRNA structure. It has been described mainly in VIRUSES (especially RETROVIRUSES); RETROTRANSPOSONS; and bacterial insertion elements but also in some cellular genes.Disease Outbreaks: Sudden increase in the incidence of a disease. The concept includes EPIDEMICS and PANDEMICS.Sequence Homology, Nucleic Acid: The sequential correspondence of nucleotides in one nucleic acid molecule with those of another nucleic acid molecule. Sequence homology is an indication of the genetic relatedness of different organisms and gene function.Carcinoembryonic Antigen: A glycoprotein that is secreted into the luminal surface of the epithelia in the gastrointestinal tract. It is found in the feces and pancreaticobiliary secretions and is used to monitor the response to colon cancer treatment.Epitope Mapping: Methods used for studying the interactions of antibodies with specific regions of protein antigens. Important applications of epitope mapping are found within the area of immunochemistry.Mutagenesis, Site-Directed: Genetically engineered MUTAGENESIS at a specific site in the DNA molecule that introduces a base substitution, or an insertion or deletion.QatarVirus Cultivation: Process of growing viruses in live animals, plants, or cultured cells.5' Untranslated Regions: The sequence at the 5' end of the messenger RNA that does not code for product. This sequence contains the ribosome binding site and other transcription and translation regulating sequences.Swine Diseases: Diseases of domestic swine and of the wild boar of the genus Sus.Chondro-4-Sulfatase: An enzyme from the sulfuric ester hydrolase class that breaks down one of the products of the chondroitin lyase II reaction. EC 3.1.6.9.Virus Shedding: The expelling of virus particles from the body. Important routes include the respiratory tract, genital tract, and intestinal tract. Virus shedding is an important means of vertical transmission (INFECTIOUS DISEASE TRANSMISSION, VERTICAL).Sensitivity and Specificity: Binary classification measures to assess test results. Sensitivity or recall rate is the proportion of true positives. Specificity is the probability of correctly determining the absence of a condition. (From Last, Dictionary of Epidemiology, 2d ed)Cinanserin: A serotonin antagonist with limited antihistaminic, anticholinergic, and immunosuppressive activity.Crystallography, X-Ray: The study of crystal structure using X-RAY DIFFRACTION techniques. (McGraw-Hill Dictionary of Scientific and Technical Terms, 4th ed)Viruses: Minute infectious agents whose genomes are composed of DNA or RNA, but not both. They are characterized by a lack of independent metabolism and the inability to replicate outside living host cells.Sequence Deletion: Deletion of sequences of nucleic acids from the genetic material of an individual.Beluga Whale: The species Delphinapterus leucas, in the family Monodontidae, found primarily in the Arctic Ocean and adjoining seas. They are small WHALES lacking a dorsal fin.Viral Core Proteins: Proteins found mainly in icosahedral DNA and RNA viruses.

  • Fifty-six cats ceased shedding virus, although they were susceptible to reinfection, and 44 shed intermittently or were being continuously reinfected. (bmj.com)
  • There was a correlation between shedding and antibody titre but the cats could remain seropositive for some time after they had ceased shedding virus. (bmj.com)
  • A cat should be shown to be negative over five months, or to have become seronegative, to ensure that it has ceased shedding virus. (bmj.com)
  • The cats, which had mild respiratory illnesses and are expected to recover, are thought to have contracted the virus from people in their households or neighbourhoods, the US Department of Agriculture and the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said. (freepressjournal.in)
  • FIP is not a highly contagious disease, since by the time the cat develops clinical disease only a small amount of virus is being shed. (snapcats.org)
  • The compounds, known as protease inhibitors, have since been further developed in the United States, tested and shown to also stop a fatal virus in cats. (folio.ca)
  • Coronavirus is probably one of the most common infection in cats, as with the human cold, since they are the same kind of virus. (stylisticat.com)
  • Cats ususally contract the virus again, through faeces. (stylisticat.com)
  • Some cats shed the virus in their faeces repeatedly and will not stop shedding it. (stylisticat.com)
  • Others may shed the virus periodically and another group of cats may shed the virus altogether and no longer be infected - but get recurrent infections or have developed a strong immunity and be completely resistant to future infections, even potentially more dangerous strains. (stylisticat.com)
  • It can be said that a cat infected with corona may be more resistant to different or dangerous strains in a multi-cat environment and that it may even be beneficial for a cat to have come into contact with the virus to develop a form of immunity. (stylisticat.com)

  • The CDC cited recent research "that animals such as ferrets, cats and golden Syrian hamsters can be experimentally infected with the virus and can spread the infection to other animals of the same species in laboratory settings. (interaksyon.com)
  • I read that some/most cats live with corona virus and only 1% mutate to FIP. (bengalcatforums.com)
  • FIP in symptomatic pet cats is not very transmittable, because by the time a feline shows clinical indicators of the infection, he is losing just a small amount of the virus. (cat-illnesses.org)
  • A positive outcome on an ELISA, IFA, or a virus neutralization examination merely indicates the feline has had direct exposure to the coronavirus, yet not always a strain of the infection that causes FIP. (cat-illnesses.org)

Diagnosis5
  • In one case study, a female cat diagnosed with FIP survived 26 months from the date of definitive diagnosis. (wikipedia.org)
  • When I queried the FIP results the vet admitted that this is actually only an indication of being exposed to the coronavirus and not necessarily a confirmed diagnosis of FIP. (catchat.org)
  • Nineteen cats had a definitive histopathological diagnosis of FIP (seven of these with neurological and/or ocular signs), and 15 cats had other diseases but similar clinical signs (three of these with neurological and/or ocular signs). (uni-muenchen.de)
  • We are hoping that our new test will save cats from being put through invasive biopsies in order to achieve a diagnosis of dry FIP. (catvirus.com)
  • Non-effusive FIP can be ruled out as a diagnosis if the cat is seronegative, provided the antibody test has excellent sensitivity. (wikipedia.org)
Infections5
FCoVs4
  • The feline coronaviruses (FCoVs) present an example of pathogenetic change apparently associated with tropism switching. (cdc.gov)
  • Persistently infected, healthy cats play the most important epidemiologic role in FIP, because by harbouring FcoVs in their intestines and blood, they act as a constant source of infection. (vin.com)
  • Recent findings suggest that homologous RNA recombination may also be an important factor in the evolution of feline coronaviruses (FCoVs) ( 16 , 37 , 46 ). (asm.org)
  • The prevalence of these serotypes has not been studied extensively but according to a recent sero-survey, type II FCoVs may account for 20 to 30% of the feline infectious peritonitis cases in Japan ( 18 ). (asm.org)

  • This disease is comparatively high in multi-cat households as compared to those with a single cat. (petmd.com)
  • It is more likely to infect every cat in the household or cattery, like colds do in human households. (stylisticat.com)
  • According to some statistical reports, as many as 63.4 million households in the United States include a dog, and 42.7 million households include a cat, making these furry friends the two most popular nonhuman family members in the country. (medicalnewstoday.com)
