Feline coronavirus (FCoV) is a positive-stranded RNA virus that infects cats worldwide. [2] It is a coronavirus of the species Alphacoronavirus 1 , which includes canine coronavirus (CCoV) and porcine transmissible gastroenteritis coronavirus (TGEV).
The improper usage of personal protective equipment by researchers and zookeeper staff is the most common method of transmission of COVID-19 from humans to gorillas. Properly using personal protective equipment is one of the best ways to prevent COVID-19 and other transmittable diseases from infecting gorillas in captivity and the wild.
Transmission back to humans has been documented for mink, hamsters, and cats. [66] Transmission to humans from deer is suspected. [66] Transmission of SARS-CoV-2 among domestic cats has been confirmed. [68] Li et al. wrote that SARS-CoV-2 may be less able than SARS-CoV-1 to pass from humans to animals. [54]

Joseph Journell says his cats Alexander, 14, left, and Tuxedo, 4, right, died in November of H5N1 bird flu after drinking raw milk from Raw Farm LLC.
There is a lack of evidence that FIP as such is transmissible from cat to cat, although it may explain rare mini-outbreaks of FIP. [8] However, the virus, FCov, is transmissible from cat to cat. A study on 59 FIP infected cats found that, unlike FCoV, feces from FIP infected cats were not infectious to laboratory cats via oronasal route. [9]
