Virus
Feline Coronavirus (FCoV )
Strain/Type
Feline coronavirus (ATCC VR-989, WSU 79-1683)
Host tropism
cats
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)
