Feline Immunodeficiency Virus Cell Entry [PDF]
Journal of Virology, 2001 ABSTRACT The process of feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) cell entry was examined using assays for virus replication intermediates. FIV subtype B was found to utilize the chemokine receptor CXCR4, but not CCR5, as a cellular receptor. Zidovudine blocked formation of late viral replication products most effectively, including circular DNA ...

Exposure to selected pathogens in Geoffroy's cats and domestic carnivores from central Argentina [PDF]
, 2012 Wild carnivores share a high percentage of parasites and viruses with closely related domestic carnivores. Because of increased overlap and potential contact with domestic species, we conducted a retrospective serosurvey for 11 common carnivore pathogens
