What type of virus is FIP?
Explanation:
A viral infection known as feline coronavirus is linked to FIP. Cat coronavirus comes in a variety of types, each with a unique propensity to sicken cats. Prior to now, there had been an attempt to categorize these strains as feline enteric coronavirus or feline infectious peritonitis virus strains, both of which can cause the FIP condition (essentially harmless strains mainly found in the intestinal tract).
