High-resolution melting analysis for simultaneous detection and discrimination between wild-type and vaccine strains of feline calicivirus

Veterinary Quarterly, 2023
High-resolution melting (HRM) analysis, a post-polymerase chain reaction (PCR) application in a single closed tube, is the straightforward method for simultaneous detection, genotyping, and mutation scanning, enabling more significant dynamic detection ...

Conserved presence of G-quadruplex forming sequences in the Long Terminal Repeat Promoter of Lentiviruses [PDF]

, 2017
G-quadruplexes (G4s) are secondary structures of nucleic acids that epigenetically regulate cellular processes. In the human immunodeficiency lentivirus 1 (HIV-1), dynamic G4s are located in the unique viral LTR promoter.

First Molecular Characterization of Feline Immunodeficiency Virus in Domestic Cats from Mainland China.

PLoS ONE, 2017
The feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) is a retrovirus of the Lentivirus genus that was initially isolated from a colony of domestic cats in California in 1986 and has now been recognized as a common feline pathogen worldwide. To date, there is only one

Feline APOBEC3s, Barriers to Cross-Species Transmission of FIV?

Viruses, 2018
The replication of lentiviruses highly depends on host cellular factors, which defines their species-specific tropism. Cellular restriction factors that can inhibit lentiviral replication were recently identified.

The role of the chemokine receptor CXCR4 in infection with feline immunodeficiency virus [PDF]

, 1999
Infection with feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) leads to the development of a disease state similar to AIDS in man. Recent studies have identified the chemokine receptor CXCR4 as the major receptor for cell culture-adapted strains of FIV, suggesting ...

An investigation of the breadth of neutralising antibody response in cats naturally infected with feline immunodeficiency virus [PDF]

, 2015
Neutralising antibodies (NAbs) are believed to comprise an essential component of the protective immune response induced by vaccines against FIV and HIV infections.

Retrovirus Infections and Brazilian Wild Felids

Brazilian Journal of Veterinary Pathology, 2008
Feline leukemia virus (FeLV) and Feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) are two retroviruses that are deadly to the domestic cat (Felis catus) and important to the conservation of the threatened wild felids worldwide.

Molecular Diagnosis of Felis catus Gammaherpesvirus 1 (FcaGHV1) Infection in Cats of Known Retrovirus Status with and without Lymphoma

Viruses, 2018
The pathogenicity of Felis catus gammaherpesvirus 1 (FcaGHV1), a common infection of domestic cats, is unknown. To explore an association between FcaGHV1 detection and feline lymphoma, a retrospective, cross-sectional, disease-association study was ...

Avaliação sorológica para Toxoplasma gondii pela imunofluorescência indireta e detecção do vírus da imunodeficiência felina pela nested PCR em felinos selvagens Serological evaluation for Toxoplasma gondii by indirect immunofluorescence and detection of feline immunodeficiency virus by nested PCR in wild felines

Arquivo Brasileiro de Medicina Veterinária e Zootecnia, 2008
Nineteen sera and blood samples from wild feline kept in captivity were tested for Toxoplasma gondii antibody and presence of feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) DNA, respectively. Eighteen (94.7%) of the them were seropositive for toxoplasma.
