Overview of feline infectious peritonitis: Comparison of ocular manifestations with COVID-19

Abstract

Coronaviruses have been known to infect wild and domestic animals and humans. The infections caused by these viruses may involve different organs and systems both in animals and humans. Ocular involvement by coronaviruses have been demonstrated in animals. The ocular involvement in humans has yet to be clarified particularly in Sars-Coronavirus-2 (Sars-CoV-2) infection. In this review, we will discuss the ocular signs of feline coronavirus leading to feline infectious peritonitis (FIP) in felids and Sars-CoV-2 causing COVID-19. We will look into similarities and differences.
