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 ...

Feline Lymphoma in the Post-Feline Leukemia Virus Era
Lymphoma (lymphosarcoma or malignant lymphoma) is the most common neoplasm of the hematopoietic system of cats and reportedly the cat has the highest incidence for lymphoma of any species. A 21-year retrospective survey of feline lymphoma covering the period 1983-2003 was conducted with the patient database at the Veterinary Medicine Teaching Hospital (

The frequency of occurrence and nature of recombinant feline leukemia viruses in the induction of multicentric lymphoma by infection of the domestic cat with FeLV-945 [PDF]
During feline leukemia virus (FeLV) infection in the domestic cat, viruses with a novel envelope gene arise by recombination between endogenous FeLV-related elements and the exogenous infecting species. These recombinant viruses (FeLV-B) are of uncertain
