Research on FIP has steadily progressed over the last decade. Join veterinary professionals and breeders at the presentation of Dr. Niels Pedersen from the University of California-Davis, a world-renowned researcher on infectious diseases in cats, during the 2011 Winn Feline Foundation Symposium in Reston, VA. Dr. Pedersen describes how some of our concepts of disease pathogenesis, potential treatment modalities, mutations within the virus that affect the virulence, genetic susceptibility of the host cat, and disease prevention have either changed or have become much clearer. The role of breeders and their veterinarians in solving the problem of FIP remains even more important today than at any time in the past.

Join a discussion of a potential treatment, Polyprenyl Immunostimulant, for feline infectious peritonitis (FIP) at the 2011 Winn Feline Foundation dinner symposium held in Reston, VA. The talk will focus on Dr. Al Legendre’s current research at the University of Tennessee-Knoxville. Dr. Legendre is a world-renowned researcher of infectious diseases in cats. The talk addresses the response rates of the different forms of “dry” FIP such as abdominal, ocular, and neurologic. Information benefiting veterinarians and cat fanciers includes an overview of the cat breeds that were in the study and comments from the owners.
