Feline Infectious Peritonitis Virus Mutation MS02 (FIPV-MS02)/ Feline Enteric Coronavirus (FECV) Nucleic Acid Test Kit (Lyophilized)

Clinical Applications

• 1. Differential Diagnosis of Feline Infectious Peritonitis (FIP)

  Accurate identification: Differentiate FIPV - MS02 from FECV. A positive FIPV - MS02 result confirms FIP, aiding in treatment and management. For example, if a cat shows abdominal effusion and tests positive for FIPV - MS02, it supports the FIP diagnosis.

  Predict disease course: Early detection of FIPV - MS02 helps predict whether the cat will develop wet or dry FIP, which have different symptoms and prognoses, enabling timely intervention.

• 2. Infection Control and Prevention in Cat Populations

  Segregation: In multi - cat settings like catteries or shelters, isolate FIPV - MS02 - positive cats to prevent virus spread. For instance, a new cat testing positive should be quarantined.

  Monitoring: Regular testing helps monitor the prevalence of the two viruses, facilitating preventive measures such as improved hygiene and stress reduction.

• 3. Research and Vaccine Development

  Pathogenesis studies: Identify mutations related to FIPV - MS02 virulence by comparing genetic sequences of detected viruses.

  Vaccine evaluation: Assess vaccine efficacy in preventing FIPV - MS02 infection and reducing viral shedding, and monitor the immune response of vaccinated cats.
