Holzworth in 1963 1 at the Angell Memorial Animal Hospital, Boston and a clinico-pathologic conference on this disorder was published in the following year. 2 The disease was thought to be infectious but no specific etiologic agent was identified at the time. Wolfe and Griesemer 3 were the first to propose that FIP was caused by a virus. Zook et al 4 observed virus particles in the tissues of experimentally infected cats, but were unable to characterize the agent. Ward 5 recognized the close similarities of FIP virus (FIPV) in tissues to members of the family Coronaviridae. In 1972 Montali and Strandberg 6 were the first to report that FIPV infection could be either granulomatous (dry, parenchymatous) or effusive (wet, non-parenchymatous). The close genetic relationship of FIPV to coronaviruses of dogs and swine was first reported by Pedersen et al in 1978. 7 Fully virulent FIPV was first propagated in vitro in autochthonous macrophage cultures from experimentally infected cats 8 and later in tissue culture. 9, 10 It was also replicated in the epithelium of intestinal ring cultures. 11 A strain of FIPV (FIPV-UCD1) was first propagated in continuously passsaged Felis catus, whole fetus-4 (Fcwf-4) cells and shown to be virulent when inoculated into cats. 12 The Fcwf-4 cells were later found to be of a macrophage type. 13 The existence of two serotypes, feline coronavirus (FCoV)-like and canine coronavirus (CCV)-like, of feline coronaviruses was first reported in 1984. 14The sudden appearance of FIP in the late 1950’s was documented by long-term and meticulous necropsy records at the Angell Memorial Animal Hospital, Boston. 1, 15 Therefore, its existence as a significant disease entity prior to this time is questionable. A reference to a cat with a disease resembling FIP was published a half century earlier (Jakob 16 as quoted in de Groot and Horzinek 17), but whether this was FIP is uncertain given the absence of reports of a similar condition in the intervening decades. There was a steady increase in the incidence of the disease in the 1960s onward, and it is currently one of the leading infectious causes of death among young cats from shelters and catteries. The reason for the sudden emergence of FIP is not known, but there are at least three possible explanations. First, coronaviruses may have speciated into cats within the last half century. It is noteworthy that FIP appeared within a decade of the initial descriptions of transmissible gastroenteritis (TGE) of pigs in North America. 18 The causative virus of FIP is closely related to the TGE virus of pigs and CCV, 7 although they are still genetically distinguishable. 19 However, recombinants between these three viruses are known to occur. 14, 20e22 At least one strain of CCV can induce mild enteritis in cats and enhance a subsequent infection with FIPV, indicating a special closeness to feline coronaviruses. 23 Therefore, CCV may be a more likely parent of FECV in this scenario. Recombination events are favored by the ease with which transcription units (RNAs) can be gained or lost during the divergent evolution of coronaviruses. 24
