A Retrospective Examination of Feline Leukemia Subgroup Characterization: Viral Interference Assays to Deep Sequencing

Viruses, 2018
Feline leukemia virus (FeLV) was the first feline retrovirus discovered, and is associated with multiple fatal disease syndromes in cats, including lymphoma. The original research conducted on FeLV employed classical virological techniques.

Phylogenetic and structural diversity in the feline leukemia virus env gene. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Feline leukemia virus (FeLV) belongs to the genus Gammaretrovirus, and causes a variety of neoplastic and non-neoplastic diseases in cats. Alteration of viral env sequences is thought to be associated with disease specificity, but the way in which ...

Relationships Between European Wildcats and Domestic Cats in an Area of Sympatry: Exploring Key Conservation Questions on Hybridization and Disease Transmission

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.
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.

Distinctive receptor binding properties of the surface glycoprotein of a natural Feline Leukemia Virus isolate with unusual disease spectrum

Retrovirology, 2011
Background Feline leukemia virus (FeLV)-945, a member of the FeLV-A subgroup, was previously isolated from a cohort of naturally infected cats. An unusual multicentric lymphoma of non-T-cell origin was observed in natural and experimental infection with ...

Clinical and computed tomography findings of fatal poxviral vasculitis in a domestic shorthair cat

Veterinary Record Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 2, May 2026.
Abstract This report describes the clinical presentation, haematological abnormalities and imaging findings of systemic poxvirus infection in a cat that resulted in widespread severe dermal oedema and systemic inflammatory response syndrome. The cat lacked cutaneous lesions before the onset of dermal oedema, but developed crusting skin lesions and a ...

Dominance of highly divergent feline leukemia virus A progeny variants in a cat with recurrent viremia and fatal lymphoma

Retrovirology, 2010
Background In a cat that had ostensibly recovered from feline leukemia virus (FeLV) infection, we observed the reappearance of the virus and the development of fatal lymphoma 8.5 years after the initial experimental exposure to FeLV-A/Glasgow-1.

First report of a Buchananella hordeovulneris–associated pyothorax in a feline leukaemia virus‐positive cat

Veterinary Record Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 2, May 2026.
Abstract A 10‐month‐old, neutered, male domestic shorthair cat with outdoor access was presented with a thoracic wound, severe respiratory distress, cachexia, dehydration and pleural effusion. Imaging confirmed bilateral pyothorax. Haematology showed marked neutrophilia with left shift, mild anaemia, thrombocytopenia and lymphocytosis.

Feline blood donation via cephalic intravenous catheter: A novel method

Veterinary Record, Volume 198, Issue 6, Page e263-e265, 14/21 March 2026.
Abstract Background Feline jugular blood donation requires heavy sedation or a very compliant cat. Donation using an intravenous catheter requires less restraint and potentially decreases stress. Methods This was an observational study of feline blood donors at a veterinary hospital between February and June 2023.

Suppression of in vitro Neutrophil Function by Feline Leukaemia Virus (FeLV) and Purified FeLV-p15E

Journal of General Virology, 1987
Feline neutrophils (PMN) were isolated and exposed to ultraviolet light-inactivated feline leukaemia virus (UV-FeLV) and purified envelope component p15E (FeLV-p15E). Functional capacity of exposed PMN was measured in vitro utilizing the chemiluminescence (CL) response. PMN exposed to UV-FeLV demonstrated depressed CL responses to Ca2+-ionophore A23187
