Feline infectious peritonitis (FIP) is a fatal, incurable disease that affects cats.It is caused by Feline Infectious Peritonitis Virus (FIPV), which is a mutation of Feline Enteric Coronavirus (FECV) - (Feline coronavirus FCoV).Experts do not agree on the specifics of genetic changes that produce the FIPV.t is caused by Feline Infectious Peritonitis Virus (FIPV), which is a mutation of Feline Enteric Coronavirus (FECV) - (Feline coronavirus FCoV).
Some people get mild cases of only a few days, o â¦ thers get severe cases of a few weeks or more and are hospitalized. On average, the symptoms of the flu generally last 3 - 10 days but the H1N1/09 virus lasts more typically 4 - 7, although a cough and fatigue may persist for up to 2 weeks.
A: According to our study, it appears they can last the entire lifespan of the human organism  90 years plus. In our study we were looking for antibodies to the 1918 flu. This flu virus was reconstructed a number of years ago in the lab, so we were able to test to see if 90 years later we could still find antibodies. I recruited survivors, people who were born in 1915 or earlier and thus presumably survived the 1918 flu.
