Unlicensed GS-441524-Like Antiviral Therapy Can Be Effective for At-Home Treatment of Feline Infectious Peritonitis
animals Article Unlicensed GS-441524-Like Antiviral Therapy Can Be Effective for at-Home Treatment of Feline Infectious Peritonitis Sarah Jones 1, Wendy Novicoff 2, Julie Nadeau 3 and Samantha Evans 1,* 1 Department of Veterinary Biosciences, College of Veterinary Medicine, The Ohio State University, Columbus, OH 43210, USA; [email protected] 2 Departments of Orthopaedic Surgery and Public Health Sciences, School of Medicine, University of Virginia, Charlottesville, VA 22903, USA; [email protected] 3 Hamilton Region Veterinary Emergency Clinic, Hamilton, ON L8P 4W3, Canada; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +1-614-292-9706 Simple Summary: Feline infectious peritonitis (FIP) is a fatal disease of cats caused by feline coro- navirus. The goal of this study was to formally evaluate the administration of unlicensed, crowd- sourced antiviral GS-441524-like therapy for cats suspected to have feline infectious peritonitis (FIP). Members of a large social media support and GS-441524-like drug distribution group were surveyed via the Internet. Of the 393 analyzed surveys which met inclusion criteria, 73.7% of owners utilizing this therapy were from the United States. Only 8.7% of owners reported receiving signiﬁcant help from their veterinarian in treating their cat. The mean cost of treatment was USD 4920. A majority of owners (88.2%) reported noticeable improvement in clinical signs within one week of initiating therapy. At the time of the survey, 96.7% (380 cats) were alive, with 54.0% of them considered cured and another 43.3% being monitored in the 12-week observation period. A total of 12.7% of the cats suffered a relapse of clinical signs of FIP, and 3.3% of the cats died despite GS-441524-like therapy.

Morphological Types
MORPHOLOGICAL TYPES Though cats do not show great variations in size, breeders’ work and selection have led to a wider differentiation between cat breeds on a morphological aspect. This variability compared to the average type, represented by the European cat, allows to classify cat breeds according to the morphological types described in each breed’s standard. These morphological types are associated with the general building of the animal. There are 4 major morphological types: 1) Brevilineal or cobby type: Brevilineal or cobby type is characterized by a massive body, short and powerful, a strong boning, a thick and rather short neck, a short and thick tail, a head that is round when seen from the front with a concave profile and round feet. 2) Mediolineal type: Mediolineal type is characterized by a rectangular body, a solid boning without excess, a slender yet strong neck, a medium long tail, an intermediate and harmonious head, round or oval feet. Anglo-Saxon terminology has refined that description by dividing it into three categories: Semi-cobby Body slightly longer than the cobby body with strong boning. • Semi-foreign Long and elegant body with strong boning. Foreign The lighter of mediolineal types. The general structure is slender and elegant without extreme aspect. 3) Longilineal or oriental type: Longilineal or oriental type is characterized by a long and tubular body, with fine boning, a long neck, detached from the body, a long and thin tail, a triangular head when seen from the front with a convex or straight profile and oval feet. 4) Long and powerful type: Long and powerful type can be distinguished from other types by a long as well as powerful body with strong boning.

Genetic Assignment of Domestic Cats to Breeds and Worldwide Random-Bred Populations
doi: 10.1111/age.12008 Variation of cats under domestication: genetic assignment of domestic cats to breeds and worldwide random-bred populations J. D. Kurushima, M. J. Lipinski, B. Gandolfi, L. Froenicke, J. C. Grahn, R. A. Grahn and L. A. Lyons Department of Health & Reproduction, School of Veterinary Medicine, University of California – Davis, Davis, CA, 95616, USA. Summary Both cat breeders and the lay public have interests in the origins of their pets, not only in the genetic identity of the purebred individuals, but also in the historical origins of common household cats. The cat fancy is a relatively new institution with over 85% of its 40–50 breeds arising only in the past 75 years, primarily through selection on single-gene aesthetic traits. The short, yet intense cat breed history poses a significant challenge to the development of a genetic marker–based breed identification strategy. Using different breed assignment strategies and methods, 477 cats representing 29 fancy breeds were analysed with 38 short tandem repeats, 148 intergenic and five phenotypic single nucleotide polymorphisms. Results suggest the frequentist method of Paetkau (single nucleotide polymorphisms = 0.78, short tandem repeats = 0.88) surpasses the Bayesian method of Rannala and Mountain (single nucleotide polymorphisms = 0.56, short tandem repeats = 0.83) for accurate assignment of individuals to the correct breed. Additionally, a post-assignment verification step with the five phenotypic single nucleotide polymor- phisms accurately identified between 0.31 and 0.58 of the misassigned individuals raising the sensitivity of assignment with the frequentist method to 0.89 and 0.92 for single nucleotide polymorphisms and short tandem repeats respectively.
