coronavirus entérico del felino
virus de la peritonitis infecciosa del felino
Scope note: Especie de CORONAVIRUS que infecta a gatos de todas las edades y se encuentra habitualmente en criaderos de gatos y parques zoológicos. Con frecuencia los gatos portan el virus pero en sólo una pequeña proporción se desarrolla la enfermedad. El coronavirus felino y el virus de la peritonitis infecciosa del felino (VPIF) son prácticamente el mismo virus en términos genéticos y antigénicos, y son morfológicamente indistinguibles. Dado que sólo difieren en su potencial de producir enfermedad (el VPIF causa una enfermedad más grave), son considerados biotipos con respecto al otro.

Scope note: A species of CORONAVIRUS infecting cats of all ages and commonly found in catteries and zoos. Cats are often found carrying the virus but only a small proportion develop disease. Feline coronavirus and Feline infectious peritonitis virus (FIPV) are virtually the same virus in genetic and antigenetic terms, and are morphologically indistinguishable. Since they only differ in their disease potential (with FIPV causing a more serious illness), they are considered biotypes of each other.
