The Molecular Biology of Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV)
Viruses, 2011 Feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) is widespread in feline populations and causes an AIDS-like illness in domestic cats. It is highly prevalent in several endangered feline species. In domestic cats FIV infection is a valuable small animal model for HIV

Antibody Responses in Cats Following Primary and Annual Vaccination against Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV) with an Inactivated Whole-Virus Vaccine (Fel-O-Vax® FIV) [PDF]
Viruses, 2021 Although the antibody response induced by primary vaccination with Fel-O-Vax® FIV (three doses, 2–4 weeks apart) is well described, the antibody response induced by annual vaccination with Fel-O-Vax® FIV (single dose every 12 months after primary ...

Feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) vaccine efficacy and FIV neutralizing antibodies [PDF]
Vaccine, 2014 A HIV-1 tier system has been developed to categorize the various subtype viruses based on their sensitivity to vaccine-induced neutralizing antibodies (NAbs): tier 1 with greatest sensitivity, tier 2 being moderately sensitive, and tier 3 being the least sensitive to NAbs (Mascola et al., J Virol 2005; 79:10103-7).

Influence of the FIV Status and Chronic Gingivitis on Feline Oral Microbiota
Pathogens, 2020 Feline chronic gingivostomatitis (FCGS) has an unclear pathogenesis with the oral microbiome and viral infections, such as feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV), thought to contribute. Although the relationship between the FIV status and FCGS is not clear,

Veterinary Microbiology, 1997 Vaccine protection has been achieved in cats against experimental infection with feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV). Such protection has been attributed to FIV-specific humoral immunity, as well as cellular immunity of unknown mechanism(s). Since cell-mediated immunity plays a crucial role in the clearance of viral infections, this study evaluated the

Ancient and dominant: a novel feline immunodeficiency virus subtype “X-EGY” identified in Egyptian cats associated with high prevalence [PDF]
BMC Veterinary ResearchBackground Data on the epidemiology and molecular characterization of feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) in Egypt are limited. This study aimed to estimate FIV prevalence in 240 Egyptian cats during 2022–2024 using three diagnostic techniques: two point-
