“…Therefore, the incidence of FIP is directly related to the prevalence of FCoV infection in any given environment or geographic region. Studies on the prevalence of FCoV infection in Japan have been limited, and have not taken into consideration important variables such as breed, age, and environment [7,15]. To the best of our knowledge, no studies have been done in Japan regarding FCoV prevalence that have included a large-scale analysis of these variables.…”

Prevalence of Feline Coronavirus Antibodies in Japanese Domestic Cats during the Past Decade

2012

AbSTRACT. From 2001From to 2010 Japanese cats were examined for feline coronavirus (FCoV) antibodies. The seroprevalence of purebreds (66.7%) was higher than that of random breds (31.2%). Seroprevalence increased greatly in purebreds by three months of age, while it did not fluctuate greatly in random breds with aging, indicating that cattery environments can contribute to FCoV epidemics. Purebreds from northern regions of Japan were likely to be seropositive (76.6% in Hokkaido, 80.0% in Tohoku), indicating cattery cats in cold climates might be more closely confined. Among purebreds, the American shorthair, Himalayan, Oriental, Persian, and Siamese showed low seroprevalence, while the American curl, Maine coon, Norwegian forest cat, ragdoll and Scottish fold showed high seroprevalence. There would also be breed-related differences in Japan similar to the previous studies in Australia.

“…It is shed in feces by healthy cats, is transmitted by the fecal-oral route and causes mild to inapparent enteritis [7]. FCoV is of little clinical significance except when it undergoes a mutation that can lead to a highly fatal and currently untreatable systemic disease known as feline infectious peritonitis (FIP) [7].…”

An approximately 2-year old domestic short hair female cat weighting 2.750g was presented to Firat University Veterinary Teaching Hospital with a history of depression, anorexia and weight loss for the last 15 days. Clinical examination revealed incoordination, hyperaesthesia, circling, head tilt, posterior paraparesis, absence of the pupillary reflex in both eyes, opisthotonus and anisocoria. Blood samples were examined for hematological, RT-PCR and biochemical analyses. The cat died without any improvement of clinical findings although symptomatic treatment was made. Necropsy revealed that distinct ocular lesions such as hyphema and thick proteinous exudate accumulation in vitreous in both eyes. Microscopically; there was pyogranulomatous vasculitis in meninges, sclera, corpus ciliare choroid, retina was partially detached in the right eye with retinal epithelial hypertrophy. The kidneys contained focal subcapsular, gray to yellow raised nodules varying from 3 to 10 mm in diameter, and there was discrete fatty degeneration in the liver. The RT-PCR revealed that RNA for FCoV was positive in the blood sample. As a result; the non-effusive form of FIP with distinct ocular involvement was diagnosed through clinical, pathological and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) findings. Keywords: Anisocoria, Cat, Eye, Feline infectious peritonitis, Hyphema Türkiye'de Bir Kedide Göz Lezyonlarıyla Belirgin Feline Enfeksiyöz Peritonitis Olgusu ÖzetFırat Üniversitesi Hayvan Hastanesi'ne onbeş gündür süren depresyon, anoreksi ve canlı ağırlık kaybı şikayetiyle yaklaşık 2 yaşında ve 2.750 g ağırlığında, evcil, kısa tüylü dişi bir kedi getirildi. Klinik muayenede inkoordinasyon, hiperestezi, dönme, başı eğme, posterior paraparesis, her iki gözde pupilla refleksinin olmayışı, opistotonus ve anizokori belirlendi. Hematolojik, biyokimyasal ve RT-PCR analizleri için kan örnekleri alındı. Semptomatik tedaviye rağmen klinik bulgularda hiçbir iyileşme olmaksızın kedi öldü. Nekropside, her iki gözde vitreusta yoğun protein tabiatında eksudat birikimi ve hifem'le belirgin oküler lezyonlar ortaya konuldu. Mikroskobik olarak; meninkslerde, sklerada ve korpus silyar koroidde pyogranulomatoz vaskülitis gözlenirken sağ gözde ise retina, kısmen ayrılmış olarak epitelyal hipertrofili şekilde belirlendi. Böbrekler fokal subkapsular 3-10 mm çapına kadar değişen gri-sarı nodülller içeriyordu ve karaciğerde farklı yerlerde yağ dejenerasyonu vardı. Kan örneğinde RT-PCR ile FCoV nükleik asiti pozitif olarak tespit edildi. Sonuç olarak; klinik, patolojik ve RT-PCR bulgularına göre göz lezyonlarıyla belirgin non-efüzif feline infeksiyöz peritonitis tanısı konuldu.
