Characterization and Interventions of a Recent Outbreak of Novel FIP

The FCoV-23 Genomic Surveillance Core will be a global rapid response resource for feline practitioners and researchers to distinguish FCoV-23 from other alpha coronaviruses. We will work with FCoV-23 Center...

Evaluation of EIDD-1931 and GS-441524 in the treatment of FCoV-23 and traditional forms of Feline Infections Peritonitis

In Cyprus, legally available drugs include EIDD-1931 (active break-down product of anti-viral Molnupiravir), and GS-441524 (active break-down product of anti-viral Remdesivir). These drugs have not been through rigorous licensing, but...

Evaluating the presence and protective nature of neutralizing antibodies against FCoV-23 in the feline population of Cyprus

The research team will develop a test to evaluate if cats have protective antibodies against FCoV-23 and if different levels of antibodies influence the types of clinical signs shown and...

Development of a patient-side serological test to distinguish FCoV-1, FCoV-2, FCov-23

FCoV-23 is a newly identified feline coronavirus associated with a large and uncontrolled outbreak of feline infectious peritonitis (FIP). A patient-side test is needed to screen cats for exposure to...

Development of differential and point of care diagnostics for FCoV-23

In this project, the team is aiming to develop two types of tests, one that can identify the genetic makeup of FCoV-23 to differentiate it from other FCoV types and...

Virus-like particles as a means to evaluate FCoV-23 cell tropism and entry pathways and spike antigenicity

This project will analyze FCoV-23, the newly emerging virus affecting cats in Cyprus. The team will assess basic aspects of the biology of this novel and highly concerning virus, and...

Gaining an overview into the characteristics FCoV-23 virology and assess the response of the virus to drug treatment in vitro

In this study the research team will study the behavior of FCoV-23 in cell culture and also look at the virus’s stability in the environment. Lastly, the team will test...
