A recent report from the University of Airlangga in Surabaya, Indonesia, discusses research findings on feline infectious peritonitis (FIP), an infectious disease affecting cats. FIP is characterized by non-specific laboratory changes and clinical signs such as anorexia, jaundice, fever, and weight loss. The study highlights the challenges in diagnosing FIP due to the variability in virulence and the need for supporting diagnostic methods. Researchers emphasize the importance of distinguishing between feline enteric coronavirus and FIP virus (FIPV) in understanding the disease. [Extracted from the article]

A recent study conducted at Huazhong Agricultural University in Wuhan, China, identified ITIH4 as a potential novel biomarker for diagnosing feline infectious peritonitis (FIP).

A recent study conducted at the University of California, Davis, has found that molnupiravir, an antiviral drug, is an effective treatment for effusive feline infectious peritonitis (FIP). FIP is a fatal disease in cats, and while multiple antiviral treatments have been recognized, treatment protocols still need optimization. The study enrolled ten cats with FIP and treated them with molnupiravir for 84 days. Eight of the ten cats survived and were in remission at 16 weeks, with no adverse events observed. The researchers concluded that molnupiravir is an effective treatment for effusive FIP. [Extracted from the article]

A preprint abstract from biorxiv.org discusses the potential use of artificial intelligence tools in the drug design of compounds targeting the main viral protease of the Feline Infectious Peritonitis Virus (FIPV) in cats. FIPV is a serious viral infection in cats that can lead to immunosuppression and severe inflammatory conditions. The study aimed to repurpose and test the efficacy of known antiviral drugs by targeting the FIPV-main protease enzyme. The results identified several potential inhibitors for the FIPV-Mpro, including Michael acceptor inhibitors (N3), Sofosbuvir, and methotrexate. Further studies are needed to test the efficacy of these compounds as inhibitors for FIPV in cats. [Extracted from the article]

A recent report from Ohio State University discusses the use of the unlicensed drug GS-441524 in the treatment of Feline Infectious Peritonitis (FIP). The study followed 141 participants who completed 12 weeks of treatment with the medication. The results showed that cat owners experienced a shift from injectable to pill formulation of the drug, and the average cost of medication decreased. However, participants reported negative effects on the cat-human bond, and there was an increased trend in veterinarian awareness and monitoring of clients undergoing treatment. The study raises important questions about citizen veterinary medicine. [Extracted from the article]

A recent study conducted by Kasetsart University in Bangkok, Thailand, aimed to investigate the clinical and laboratory characteristics of feline infectious peritonitis (FIP) and estimate the median survival time of FIP cats treated with prednisolone. The study found that FIP primarily affects cats aged 1-2 years and is more prevalent in male cats. Clinical manifestations of FIP can affect various systems in the body, including the digestive, hematological, respiratory, neurological, and ocular systems. The study also provided diagnostic tools to aid in the detection of FIP based on clinical signs and multiple abnormalities. [Extracted from the article]

A new study conducted in mainland China has evaluated the prevalence and risk factors associated with Feline Infectious Peritonitis (FIP) in cats. The study reviewed 21 studies conducted between 2008 and 2023, with a total of 181,014 samples. The results showed a 2% prevalence of FIP, with age and gender being significant risk factors. The researchers suggest improving cat immunity, paying special attention to health management in kittens and intact cats, and continuously monitoring FIPV to reduce and control the prevalence of FIP in China.

A recent report from the University of California, Davis provides new information on feline infectious peritonitis (FIP), a lethal disease in domestic cats caused by a genetic variant of feline coronavirus. The study analyzed data from four antiviral clinical trials and found that certain antiviral compounds were effective in reducing viral nucleic acids in cats with FIP. However, pathological lesions characteristic of FIP persisted for several weeks despite treatment. The research also identified common pathologic lesions associated with FIP, such as hepatitis and abdominal effusion. [Extracted from the article]

A recent report from Ohio State University highlights research on the use of unlicensed antiviral products for the at-home treatment of feline infectious peritonitis (FIP). The study found that these products contain GS-441524, a drug similar to remdesivir, at significantly different amounts than advertised. Injectable formulations contained more GS-441524 than expected, while oral formulations varied widely in drug content. The study emphasizes the need for regulation of these products and the development of legal pathways to procure GS-441524. [Extracted from the article]

A recent report from the University of Glasgow in the United Kingdom explores the feasibility of using machine learning to diagnose non-effusive feline infectious peritonitis (FIP). FIP is a severe and often fatal syndrome in cats caused by a coronavirus. Currently, diagnosis relies on clinical signs and laboratory markers, but this study suggests that machine learning models analyzing clinical data could accurately discriminate between FIP and non-FIP cases. While further research is needed, this work demonstrates the potential benefit of using machine learning to improve the diagnostic utility of existing laboratory tests for FIP.

A recent study conducted by researchers at the University of Utah examined the quality and composition of unregulated antiviral drugs used to treat feline infectious peritonitis (FIP). The study found that while most samples of GS-441524, a commonly used antiviral, were similar in purity and composition, some samples were more concentrated than advertised. Additionally, the study discovered that one brand of GC376, another antiviral, actually contained GS-441524 instead. The researchers provided methods for distinguishing between the two drugs in new batches to prevent serious side effects. This information is important for veterinarians and cat owners seeking effective and safe treatments for FIP. [Extracted from the article]

A recent report from Huazhong Agricultural University in Wuhan, China, explores the role of the Feline Infectious Peritonitis virus (FIPV) in causing a hyperinflammatory response in cats. The study found that a specific gene, ORF7a, plays a key role in viral infection and host proinflammatory responses. Strains of FIPV lacking ORF7a were found to have low replication rates and did not induce significant inflammation. Additionally, cats vaccinated with these strains showed increased immunity and protection against virulent strains. The findings have implications for the development of live attenuated FIPV vaccines. [Extracted from the article]

A report from Islamic Azad University in Tehran, Iran, discusses the challenges in diagnosing Feline Infectious Peritonitis (FIP), one of the most researched infectious diseases in cats. The study compares the efficacy of specific modulation frequency (SMF) with other diagnostic methods for detecting FIP. Blood samples from 30 cats suspected of having FIP were tested using electrophoresis, polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and SMF. The results showed that SMF had a sensitivity and specificity of 100% and 81.8%, respectively, making it an effective and safe method for diagnosing FIP. [Extracted from the article]

A preprint abstract from biorxiv.org discusses the emergence and spread of feline infectious peritonitis (FIP) caused by a highly pathogenic recombinant coronavirus. The study highlights the potential for cross-species transmission of coronaviruses and the importance of companion animals in transmission cycles. The novel recombinant virus responsible for the FIP outbreak in Cyprus shows high sequence identity to a pantropic canine coronavirus and is rapidly spreading among cats of all ages. Changes in the spike protein suggest alterations in receptor binding and cell tropism. This preprint has not yet undergone peer review. [Extracted from the article]
