In this paper, the etiology, pathogenesis, epidemiology, clinical symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment as well as immunity and prevention of feline infectious peritonitis were comprehensively described, providing reference and guidance for the scientific diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of the disease.
