Phylogenetic, clinical, pathological and epidemiological characterization of feline coronavirus infections in cats, in Istanbul
This study provides comprehensive information on FCoV infections among cats in Turkey. The findings could significantly contribute to understanding the hematobiochemical manifestations, epidemiology, and risk factors associated with FCoV, ultimately aiding in the development of better prevention and treatment strategies. A continuous molecular surveillance program is required to understand the evolution and emergence of virulent strains of FCoV to design new antiviral therapies and vaccines.
