Spike Protein Fusion Peptide and Feline Coronavirus Virulence

TL;DR: Mutations can occur erratically and accompany tropism changes, resulting in unpredictable new diseases, and the environment can change rapidly to accommodate these changes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Feline infectious peritonitis: insights into feline coronavirus pathobiogenesis and epidemiology based on genetic analysis of the viral 3c gene

TL;DR: In this paper, the 3c gene was found to be mutated in the majority (71.4%) of FIPVs, but not in all, implying that mutation in 3c is not the (single) cause of the FIP.

Short Communication Feline infectious peritonitis: insights into feline coronavirus pathobiogenesis and epidemiology based on genetic analysis of the viral 3c gene

TL;DR: It is suggested that functional 3c protein expression is crucial for FECV replication in the gut, but dispensable for systemic FIPV replication, explaining the rare incidence of FIP outbreaks.
Journal ArticleDOI

Reduction of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) infection in swine alveolar macrophages by porcine circovirus 2 (PCV2)-induced interferon-alpha.

TL;DR: It is suggested that swine AMs were an important reservoir of PCV2 and PRRSV and increased pro-inflammatory cytokine production may lead to a more severe pneumonic lesion in those dually infected pigs.
