Abstract
A temperature-sensitive, feline infectious peritonitis (FIP) vaccine w as evaluated in feline coronavirus naive, specific pathogen free cats. The vaccine was administered according to the manufacturer's instruct ions: two doses 3 to 4 weeks apart given to cats 16 weeks or older. No untoward side effects were observed and 50% of vaccinated cats were p rotected against challenge exposure to virulent FIP virus. Therefore, our study indicates that Primucell FIP(TM) has merit in protecting cat s from FIP under natural conditions.
