Could Phylogenetic Analysis Be Used for Feline Leukemia Virus (FeLV) Classification?
Viruses, 2022 The surface envelope (SU) protein determines the cell tropism and consequently the pathogenesis of the feline leukemia virus (FeLV) in felids. Recombination of exogenous FeLV (exFeLV) with endogenous retroviruses (enFeLV) allows the emergence of more ...
