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).
Feline disease refers to infections or illnesses that affect cats. They may cause symptoms, sickness or the death of the animal. Some diseases are symptomatic in one cat but asymptomatic in others. Feline diseases are often opportunistic and tend to be more serious in cats that already have concurrent sicknesses.
Alphacoronavirus 1 is a species of coronavirus that infects cats, dogs and pigs. It includes the virus strains feline coronavirus, canine coronavirus, and transmissible gastroenteritis virus. [1] It is an enveloped, positive-strand RNA virus which is able to enter its host cell by binding to the APN receptor. [2] Member viruses were first ...
Most infections are either asymptomatic or cause diarrhea, especially in kittens, as maternally derived antibody wanes at between 5 and 7 weeks of age. The virus is a mutation of feline enteric coronavirus (FECV). From the gut, the virus very briefly undergoes a systemic phase, [6] before returning to the gut where it is shed in the feces.
Pet cats and dogs cannot pass the new coronavirus on to humans, but they can test positive for low levels of the pathogen.
The strain has been identified as a new hybrid of existing feline coronavirus and canine coronavirus and is called F-CoV-23, while it is not linked to Covid-19. Symptoms for the coronavirus ...

Dozens of captive animal species have been found infected or proven able to be experimentally infected with SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. The virus has also been found in over a dozen wild animal species. Most animal species that can get the virus have not been proven to be able to spread it back to humans. The Centers for Disease ...
