Abstract

Feline Coronavirus (FCoV) dapat bermutasi menjadi Feline Infectious Peritonitis (FIP) yang bersifat fatal dengan morbiditas dan mortalitas yang tinggi pada kucing di seluruh dunia dengan penularan melalui fekal-oral. Penelitian terkait prevalensi FCoV di Indonesia belum banyak di laporkan. Tujuan dari penelitian untuk menguraikan tingkat kejadian infeksi FCoV di Vetopet 1 Animal Clinic Cikaret. Data primer diperoleh dari hasil pemeriksaan rapid test combo (FPV, FCoV, GIA) yang terkonfirmasi positif terinfeksi FCoV oleh dokter hewan dan data sekunder diperoleh dari rekam medis kucing. Prevalensi kejadian FCoV periode bulan Agustus – September 2025 di Vetopet 1 Animal Clinic Cikaret berdasarkan kategori ras kucing yaitu ras non-domestik sebanyak 69% dengan uji chi-square test 0,044 (P<0,05), kucing jantan sebanyak 69% dengan uji chi-square test 0,025 (P<0,05), anak kucing sebanyak 59% dengan uji chi-square test 0,002 (P<0,05), lingkungan pemeliharaan secara indoor, semi-indoor, dan outdoor sebanyak 50%, dan jumlah peliharaan kucing lebih dari satu sebanyak 78%. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan prevalensi kejadian FCoV di Vetopet 1 Animal Clinic termasuk kategori sedang.

Feline Coronavirus (FCoV) can mutate into Feline Infectious Peritonitis (FIP), a fatal disease with high morbidity and mortality in cats worldwide. FCoV is primarily transmitted through the fecal-oral route. Research on the prevalence of FCoV in Indonesia has not been widely reported. The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of FCoV infection at Vetopet 1 Animal Clinic Cikaret. Primary data were obtained from rapid combo test results (FPV, FCoV, GIA) confirmed positive for FCoV infection by veterinarians, and secondary data was obtained from the cats' medical records. The prevalence of FCoV during the period of August–September 2025 at Vetopet 1 Animal Clinic, based on breed category, was 69% in non-domestic breeds (?² = 0.044; P<0.05). Based on sex, the prevalence was 69% in male cats (?² = 0.025; P<0.05). Kittens showed a prevalence of 59% (?² = 0.002; P<0.05). Based on living environment, indoor, semi-indoor, and outdoor cats showed a prevalence of 50%, while households owning more than one cat showed a prevalence of 78%. The results of this study indicate that the prevalence of FCoV infection at Vetopet 1 Animal Clinic falls within the moderate category.
