[Feline immunodeficiency virus].
Feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) is a typical lentivirus that preferentially replicates in feline T lymphoblastoid cells and is the causative agent of a cat disease with features similar to the HIV-induced human AIDS. Its overall genetic organization is similar to human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) but the reduced complexity of the regulatory open ...

MRI and clinical resolution of a suspected intracranial toxoplasma granuloma with medical treatment in a domestic short hair cat [PDF]
A two-year-old cat was presented with a left paradoxical vestibular syndrome. MRI of the brain revealed an extra-axial homogenously contrast enhancing mass in the region of the left caudal cerebellar peduncle.

We have found evidence of behavioural barriers for both hybridization and disease transmission between European wildcats and domestic cats. This includes hierarchical interspecies exclusion enforced by wildcats, as well as sexual selection exerted by wildcat females.

Diagnosis of Feline Leukemia Virus and Feline Immunodeficiency Virus Infections
Feline leukemia virus is an oncogenic retrovirus that can result in a wide variety of neoplastic and non-neoplastic diseases, including immunosuppression. Diagnosis of FeLV infection can be achieved by several methods, including virus isolation; IFA assay of a peripheral blood smear; and detection of a viral protein (called p27) by ELISA testing of ...

Enhancement after feline immunodeficiency virus vaccination [PDF]
Cats were vaccinated with one of the three preparations: purified feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) incorporated into immune stimulating complexes (ISCOMs), recombinant FIV p24 ISCOMs, or a fixed, inactivated cell vaccine in quil A. Cats inoculated with the FIV ISCOMs or the recombinant p24 ISCOMs developed high titres of antibodies against the core ...

Antibodies specific for hypervariable regions 3 to 5 of the feline immunodeficiency virus envelope glycoprotein are not solely responsible for vaccine-induced acceleration of challenge infection in cats [PDF]
In a previous vaccination study in cats, the authors reported on accelerated feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) replication upon challenge in animals vaccinated with a candidate envelope subunit vaccine.

Duration of antibody response following vaccination against feline immunodeficiency virus [PDF]
Objectives: Recently, two point-of-care (PoC) feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) antibody test kits (Witness and Anigen Rapid) were reported as being able to differentiate FIV-vaccinated from FIV-infected cats at a single time point, irrespective of ...

ABSTRACT A 5‐year‐old female cat presented with a purple depressed lesion on a metatarsal pad inducing ulceration and pain. Histopathological results revealed a non‐neoplastic vascular proliferation, a rare condition in cats. Topical beta‐blocker successfully prevented recurrence of ulceration.

Neutralization of feline immunodeficiency virus by polyclonal cat antibody: Simultaneous involvement of hypervariable regions 4 and 5 of the surface glycoprotein. [PDF]
Sites involved in antibody-mediated neutralization of feline immunodeficiency virus were mapped by reciprocal exchange of envelope fragments or amino acids between molecular clones of feline immunodeficiency virus with different susceptibilities to ...

Mapping the domains of CD134 as a functional receptor for feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) [PDF]
The feline homologue of CD134 (fCD134) is the primary binding receptor for feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV), targeting the virus preferentially to activated CD4+ helper T cells.
