Search for DNA Biomarkers That Play a Role in Aging and Disease
SUMMARY: Researchers will look for markers of health in dog blood samples. THE PROBLEM: Over the last 40 years, dog lifespans have doubled. However, just like people, older pets are...
Using New Technology to Study Inflammatory Bowel Disease in Dogs
SUMMARY: Researchers will use organoids, miniature three-dimensional cell structures, to study genes found in dogs with inflammatory bowel disease and compare them to dogs without inflammatory bowel disease. They hope...
FCoV-23 Biobank
This biobanking core will provide support to the overall FCoV-23 Center of Excellence for sample collection in Cyprus, archiving, and storage. Subject to shipping considerations (especially for international transport and...
Characterization and Interventions of a Recent Outbreak of Novel FIP
The FCoV-23 Genomic Surveillance Core will be a global rapid response resource for feline practitioners and researchers to distinguish FCoV-23 from other alpha coronaviruses. We will work with FCoV-23 Center...
Evaluation of EIDD-1931 and GS-441524 in the treatment of FCoV-23 and traditional forms of Feline Infections Peritonitis
In Cyprus, legally available drugs include EIDD-1931 (active break-down product of anti-viral Molnupiravir), and GS-441524 (active break-down product of anti-viral Remdesivir). These drugs have not been through rigorous licensing, but...
Evaluating the presence and protective nature of neutralizing antibodies against FCoV-23 in the feline population of Cyprus
The research team will develop a test to evaluate if cats have protective antibodies against FCoV-23 and if different levels of antibodies influence the types of clinical signs shown and...
