A cat brought to the UK from the Mediterranean island was found to be infected.

A cat suffering from Feline Infectious Peritonitis , at clinic in Nicosia on June 20, 2023 A Covid strain which has killed at least 8,000 cats in Cyprus has spread to the UK. A cat brought to the UK from the Mediterranean island was found to be infected, sparking fear it has spread to other British pets. The highly infectious strain has been identified as a hybrid of existing feline coronavirus and canine coronavirus called F-CoV-23. It is not linked with Covid-19.

Scientists have warned there is a ‘significant risk’ of the outbreak spreading further in a study published before it has been peer-reviewed. ‘This is exemplified by the recent confirmation of a first UK-imported case with further investigations into other cases ongoing,’ they added. The combination of canine and feline coronaviruses – which includes the cat virus gaining the dog pathogen’s spike protein – has lead it to become more infectious.
