Feline Infectious Peritonitis (F.I.P.) was diagnosed in the kittens of two successive litters born to a female presumed also infected. At the same time, the two fathers and the other subjects of the cattery remained asymptomatic of F.I.P. The clinical observations, supported by electrophoretic data, suggest the possibility of a direct transmission of the disease by the mother to her offspring, either by the transplacentary pathway (epigenetic transmission) or via the milk.
在一窝假定也受到感染的母猫所生的连续两窝小猫中,诊断出了猫传染性腹膜炎(F.I.P.)。与此同时,两只公猫以及猫舍中的其他猫只均未表现出猫传染性腹膜炎的症状。临床观察结果,在电泳数据的支持下,表明该疾病有可能通过胎盘途径(表观遗传传播)或经由乳汁,由母猫直接传染给其后代。
