This month Nathalie Dowgray is joined by Dr Charalampos Attipa, a researcher at the University of Edinburgh who has been investigating the causes of the FIP outbreak in Cyprus. We also feature our monthly JFMS Clinical Spotlight interview in which Nathalie discussed the diagnostic approach to invasive fungal infections with Professor Vanessa Barrs.
2023 saw a large spike in cases of FIP amongst Cypriot cats. Dr Attipa has been part of an international collaboration investigating the cause of this increase in cases and explains how and why FCOV-23 is different.
We are then joined by Prof. Barrs to discuss how climate change is causing alterations in the distribution of fungal diseases globally. We discuss what we should be aware of and how to diagnose invasive fungal infections.
Stay tuned for part two of our interview with Vanessa, where we discuss treatment, which will be available in the coming months!
