Whole-genome characterization and molecular epidemiology of Feline coronavirus (FeCoV) circulating in domestic cats in Thailand: First report of FeCoV-II whole genomes

This study provides updated molecular epidemiology of FeCoV in Thailand and reports the <b>first complete FeCoV-II genome sequences</b> from the country. The predominance of FeCoV-I and the detection of conserved spike regions highlight the need for genotype-specific surveillance and the reconsideration of vaccine strategies that currently target FeCoV-II. Expanded nationwide monitoring and detailed recombination analyses are warranted to better understand FeCoV evolution and transmission in feline populations.
