A Guide to Diagnosis of FIP, FIV, and FeLV in 2023
This session will comprise an update on best
practices for diagnosing three major feline viral infections of clinical
significance: feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV), feline leukemia virus
(FeLV), and feline infectious peritonitis (FIP). We will focus on outlining ABCD guidelines
and diagnostic algorithms with special emphasis on the benefits and limitations
of new testing modalities for FIP, and the recently elucidated challenges with
single-test FeLV diagnosis.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
After attending this webinar, participants should be
able to:
- Effectively and efficiently diagnose FIV.
- Describe the best methods used to diagnose FeLV and the challenges with relying on results from a single point in time.
- Use both traditional and virus-specific testing strategies to build a presumptive diagnosis of FIP.
- List new and upcoming methods available to support a diagnosis of FIP.
