• July 17, 2001 Agence France Presse by Vik Iyer A Swiss cat has been diagnosed with the feline form of mad cow disease, thought to have been spread through infected pet food, in the first such case in the country, veterinary officials said Tuesday. ...
• The six-year-old animal had been suffering serious problems with its nervous system and was put down, and was later diagnosed with feline spongiform encephalopathy (FSE), the cat-borne variety of mad cow disease. ...
• The feline form of the disease is closely linked with the cattle-borne variety and was first reported in 1990 in Britain, whose meat and livestock industry is still reeling from a BSE epidemic which swept through the country's herds. ...
• Britain has reported around 90 cases of the feline disease among the nation's pets, while Norway has also witnessed a case, despite being clear of the bovine brain-wasting disease. ...

• Feline Asthma.
• Feline Health.
• The college has identified feline health as a high priority clinical and research focus and is establishing the Pat Carrigan Chair in Feline Health to oversee the Center for Feline Health and Well-Being. By investigating the genetic mechanisms of feline asthma, an important chronic airway disease in the cat, our project serves to combine the college’s current expertise in airway research and molecular medicine with the long term goal of excellence in feline medicine.
• Feline Asthma.
• Feline asthma is a common and serious problem in the cat that is well recognized in the veterinary literature. ... The diagnostic hallmarks of feline asthma include recurrent airway obstruction, eosinophilic airway inflammation, and bronchial hyperresponsiveness. ... Thus, our long-term objectives are to understand the mechanisms of feline asthma. Many studies provide evidence for a genetic predisposition to asthma in humans and in animal models of asthma and there is abundant anecdotal information in the veterinary literature to suggest that feline asthma may be inherited as well. We hypothesize that feline asthma has a hereditary basis.
• Recurrent airway obstruction, eosinophilic airway inflammation, and bronchial hyperresponsiveness seen in feline asthma are also recognized in human asthmatics and can be experimentally induced in experimental models. ... Along with the strong evidence for the inheritance of asthma in humans and mice, there is abundant anecdotal information in the veterinary literature to suggest that feline asthma may be inherited as well. ... Because there is extensive homology in DNA sequence between species and the molecular mechanisms of human and feline asthma are anticipated to be similar based on the close similarity of their phenotypes, we anticipate that the work done in other species will greatly expedite the process of investigating the genetic mechanisms of asthma in the cat.
• The goal of the current project is to assemble the tools required to perform linkage analyses in feline asthma. ... O’Brien and colleagues have identified over 350 feline (Felis catus) gene sequences and some of these may surround candidate genes and thus be valuable as DNA markers in our study. ...
• The overall goal of our feline asthma project is to identify genetic mechanisms that contribute to asthma in the cat. ...

• For feline blood typing, a small amount of EDTA-anticoagulated blood is needed. ...
• Because of the presence of naturally-occurring alloantibodies, no universal feline blood donors exist and only typed, matched blood can be used for effective and safe transfusion. Eastern Veterinary Blood Bank (Annapolis, MD; 1-800-949-3822) is presently the only commercial blood bank providing feline type A and type B blood. ...
• Feline blood donors.
• The ideal feline blood donor is a shorthaired, large but lean, young cat who is healthy and is kept strictly indoors. ... Cats may donate up to 10-12 ml of whole blood per kilogram of body weight, corresponding to a feline unit of 50-75 ml from a 5-6 kg cat. However, because of the small circulatory blood volume of cats, feline donors should receive replacement IV fluids if more than 50 ml are removed. ...

• The primary drugs used to treat feline spraying and nonspraying marking include TCAs such as amitriptyline, nortriptyline, and clomipramine; benzodiazepines such as diazepam; and nonspecific anxiolytics such as buspirone. There are no good data on whether other nonspecific antianxiety agents such as fluoxetine, paroxetine (Paxil°SmithKline Beecham), and sertraline (Zoloft®-Pfizer) are efficacious treatments, but based on their performance in other canine and feline behavior disorders10 it would not be surprising if these drugs were effective in treating some feline elimination disorders. ...

• FELINE INFECTIOUS PERITONITIS, 1995.
• Feline coronavirus disease is a subject of considerable controversy and confusion. Cats are susceptible to infection with several members of the coronavirus group including porcine transmissible gastroenteritis virus (TGEV), canine coronavirus (CCV), and feline coronaviruses. ...
• Many antigenically similar feline coronavirus strains have been isolated from domestic cats. 4,5 Feline coronaviruses vary widely in their spectrum of infectivity and virulence. Feline coronavirus isolates of low virulence that are not systemically invasive and replicate only in mature intestinal epithelial cells are called feline enteric coronaviruses (FECV). 4,5 Feline enteric coronaviruses usually cause only mild, self-limiting diarrheic illness in young cats. ...
• More virulent, invasive strains of feline coronavirus produce the clinical disease syndrome called feline infectious peritonitis (FIP) and these virulent isolates are known as feline infectious peritonitis viruses (FIPV). ...
• Stress, crowding, poor sanitation, parasitism, and concurrent diseases, particularly immunosuppressive diseases such as feline leukemia virus (FeLV) and feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV), may also increase the impact of FIPV on cats in these environments.
• Feline infectious peritonitis virus is found in the tonsils and small intestinal mucosa within 24 hours of ingestion. ...
• Feline infectious peritonitis is an immune complex mediated disease and systemic antibodies are not protective. ...
• 3 Although there are no domestic feline breeds with a known predisposition to FIPV infection, the genetically monomorphic cheetah is very susceptible to FIP infection and disease. ...
• 13 Feline leukemia virus and FIP cause substantially more disease in catteries or cluster households than in single pet homes. ...
• An indirect immunofluorescence assay (IIFA) technique was used to detect feline coronavirus antigen in biopsy specimens from a group of cats suspected of having FIPV infection. ...
• Some of the newer immunomodulating agents, recombinant DNA human alpha interferon (rHuIFN-à) and feline fibroblastic beta interferon (FIFN- ), have shown significant antiviral effects against FIPV in vitro studies. 23 In similar studies, the antiviral agents, ribaviran (Virazole ) and adenine arabinoside (Vidarabine ) appear to be effective against FIPV, however, ribaviran is toxic to feline cells at therapeutic levels. ...
