Is this the parasite that ends up in the blood stream and destroys the blood cells?

You say that the virus can be protected by a carpet and can live up to seven weeks in it. However, if you vacuum and steam the carpet, won’t that kill the virus? Thank you–

@squeeky95 Thank you for watching our video. Feline coronavirus mainly inhabits the gut, but in a few cats (less than 10%) it does parasitise, and replicate in, white blood cells called monocytes, as we showed in our video Pathogenesis of FIP. Happily most cats remain clinically well and eventually they clear the virus, FIP only occurs in a few infected cats. I’d just prefer no cats to run the risk, and I want to eradicate the virus.

@squeeky95 It has just occurred to me to wonder whether you’re thinking of the parasite which infects feline red blood cells, destroying them? If so, that is something different – called Feline Infectious Anaemia, or Mycoplasma haemofelis, or Haemotropic mycoplasmas.

@85nikki96 Thank you for watching our video. Steam cleaning will certainly get rid of the virus and vacuuming will physically remove some of the infection. It is also killed by domestic bleach (sodium hypochlorite, e.g. Domestos, eau de Javel, Miltons). The virus can survive for up to 7 weeks when dried up, and protected by faecal matter. It is extremely contagious, getting around the house on blown particles of cat litter, on our shoes, on poop scoops, etc.

@tenten6134 Thank you for watching the video. Depends what you mean by living (I’m not sure I get your meaning, sorry.) Viruses are just protein plus DNA, or in the case of FCoV, RNA. The must hijack a living creature in order to reproduce (replicate) – is that what you mean? They cannot thrive independent of their host, but they can survive outside the body, which is how they get to find their next host, in some cases.

@DrDianeDAddie Ahh! Yes. Thank you. I was thinking of Feline Infectious Anemia. Sorry, i’m new to these viruses!
