Biological and pathological consequences of feline infectious peritonitis virus infection in the cheetah 1988 .txt text/plain 4215 178 38 Subsequent observations based upon seroepidemiological surveys and electron microscopy of fecal material verified that cheetahs were indeed capable of being infected by coronaviruses, which were antigenically related to coronaviruses affecting domestic cats, i.e. feline infectious peritonitis virus/feline enteric coronavirus. The purpose of this review is to present desciptions of the various forms of coronaviral infections in the cheetah relying upon studies of both natural infections, as well as experimental infections in other species with coronaviruses, such as mouse hepatitis virus (MHV), canine coronavirus (CCV), transmissible gastroenteritis virus (TGEV) of swine, and bovine coronavirus (BCV) of neonatal calves [28, 36, 39, 49, 57, 60, 61, 75, 79, 92] . The occurrence of coronaviral infections of the cheetah have now been documented based on serology, electron microscopy of fecal contents, and the occurrence of fatal forms of infectious peritonitis compatible with the clinicopathologic signs observed in domestic cats with FIP [7, 10, 26, 29, 38, 43, 56, 72] . ./cache/cord-325827-492xi3ee.txt ./txt/cord-325827-492xi3ee.txt
