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.
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 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 ...

Pet cats and dogs cannot pass the new coronavirus on to humans, but they can test positive for low levels of the pathogen. Pet cats and dogs cannot pass the new coronavirus on to humans, but they ...
Coronavirus diseases are caused by viruses in the coronavirus subfamily, a group of related RNA viruses that cause diseases in mammals and birds. In humans and birds, the group of viruses cause respiratory tract infections that can range from mild to lethal.
Just days after the USDA issued a new order that all raw milk must be tested for bird flu, reports have emerged of animals dying of the virus, including cats and several zoo animals.
