Feline leukemia virus infection and diseases

Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association, 1991
Summary Feline leukemia virus is a naturally occurring, contagiously transmitted and oncogenic immunosuppressive retrovirus of cats. The effects of FeLV are paradoxical, causing cytoproliferative and cytosuppressive disease (eg, lymphoma and myeloproliferative disorders vs immunodeficiency and myelosuppressive disorders).

Epidemiologic association between virus-negative feline leukemia and the horizontally transmitted feline leukemia virus

Cancer Letters, 1981
About two-thirds of the natural cases of feline leukemia-lymphoma are assumed to be caused by the feline leukemia virus (FeLV) because they occur in cats, which harbor this agent, and FeLV will induce the disease under laboratory conditions. Epidemiological evidence is presented which associates cases of naturally occurring 'virus negative' feline ...

Epidemiologic Implications of Feline Leukemia Virus

Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association, 1971
SUMMARY At present any consideration of the epidemiologic implications of feline leukemia virus (FeLV) is unavoidably speculative, since definitive data are scarce, both for patterns of disease among cats and for cat-human associations. Such a consideration is also somewhat redundant, since similar epidemiologic questions have been raised in the past ...

Epizootiologic association between feline immunodeficiency virus infection and feline leukemia virus seropositivity

Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association, 1990
Summary Five hundred twenty-one feline serum samples submitted to the Texas Veterinary Medical Diagnostic Laboratory between Nov 1, 1988, and Jan 31, 1989 were tested for antibody to feline immunodeficiency virus (fiv) by use of an elisa. The prevalence of fiv infection in this population was 11.3% (95% confidence interval: 8.6 to 14.0%).

Treatment of feline leukemia virus (FeLV) infection

Veterinary Microbiology, 1999
FeLV infection is still considered to account for most disease-related deaths in pet cats. Different treatment attempts with various drugs were performed in the past but none resulted in healing or complete virus elimination. Therefore, it caused a sensation when Horber and Mayr [Horber, D., Mayr, B., 1991. Prax.

Evaluation of Feline Leukemia Virus Control Measures

Journal of Theoretical Biology, 1996
A susceptible-infected-recovered-susceptible (SIRS) model of the epidemiology of feline leukemia virus is formulated and analysed. The dynamics of the disease are dramatically different in no-risk, low-risk and high-risk subpopulations of asocial, free roaming, and multiple cat household cats. Among low risk (

Immunodeficiency in latent feline leukemia virus infections

Veterinary Immunology and Immunopathology, 1989
Challenge of naive experimental animals with a retroviral inoculum may result in one of two broad sequelae. The first is the establishment of an appropriate humoral and cellular immune response leading to a condition of immunity to subsequent infection with the retrovirus.

Immunopathology induced by the feline leukemia virus

Springer Seminars in Immunopathology, 1982
Infection of pet cats by FeLV results in virus replication in cells of the immune system. The virus causes both immune cell depletion and dysfunction which result in several FeLV-induced immunopathologic diseases and numerous secondary immunosuppressive diseases which together are the major cause of death of FeLV-infected cats.
