A New Rapid Indirect ELISA Test for Serological Diagnosis of Feline Immunodeficiency [PDF]
The Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV) is a lentivirus belonging to Retroviridae family that affects feline immune cells, causing a progressive immunosuppression by depleting CD4+ T-lymphocytes, similarly to the acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS)

Genetic diversity of Brazilian isolates of feline immunodeficiency virus [PDF]
We isolated Feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) from three adult domestic cats, originating from two open shelters in Brazil. Viruses were isolated from PBMC following co-cultivation with the feline T-lymphoblastoid cell line MYA-1.
