Abstract
Feline infectious peritonitis virus (FIPV) is a deadly virus that causes feline infectious peritonitis (FIP) in cats. FIP is a biotype of feline coronavirus (FCoV). Currently, the prevention and treatment of FIPV is challenged by the absence of adequate clinical treatment drugs and vaccines that offer strong immune protection complicated. In this review, we analyse and explain how small-molecule inhibitors function to protect against viral infections. Additionally, we highlight the challenges and future possibilities in developing FIPV vaccines, which are crucial for enhancing FIPV treatment and creating viable vaccine solution strategies.
