It belongs to the genus Alphacoronavirus and exists mainly as an enteric pathogen. Two major serotypes, type I and type II, have been described, with genetic diversity contributing to differences in antigenicity and surveillance.
CCoV mainly targets intestinal epithelial cells, causing enteric disease. The typical form leads to mild to
Diagnosis is usually based on clinical signs supported by laboratory testing, with reverse transcription polymerase chain
Prevention relies on vaccination as part of combination vaccines that include CCoV components. Vaccines can reduce
