Virus

Feline Coronavirus (FeCoV )

Felines Coronavirus (FeCoV )

Alphacoronavirus 1 Infraspezies Felines Coronavirus

Strain/Type

Feline coronavirus (ATCC VR-989, WSU 79-1683) 

Host tropism

caoV,

Route of Transmission

FCoV is caught by inadvertently swallowing the virus, through contact with other cats, litter trays or soil where other cats have toileted. Exposure to faeces in the litter tray is the most common means of transmission

Characteristics e.g. sensitizing or toxic effects, replication deficiant, not infectious, attenuated, inactivated (upload relevant documents)

Note t2:

Owing to the pathogenicity for vertebrates, safety measures may be necessary under animal disease legislation which, analogous to the safety measures of protection level 2, minimise the escape of prokaryotes into the external environment or other working areas. 

Approved as biological safety measure if taken as recipient organism for genetic engineering?

Genetically modified (GenTSV)

Risk group (BioStoffV)

1

Risk assessment

Risk accessment based on TRBA (Technical Rule for Biological Agents) 462 "Classification of viruses into risk groups": https://www.baua.de/DE/Angebote/Rechtstexte-und-Technische-Regeln/Regelwerk/TRBA/TRBA-462.html

Operation instructions (mandatory for RG2 and higher)

Occupational health care (according to ArbMedVV)

In the case of activities with the biological agent no health care is required. An indication on restrictions for immunosuppressed workers should be made.
