Disease potential of feline leukemia virus (FeLV) collected from Iberian lynxes (Lynx pardinus): low pathogenicity in experimentally infected specified pathogen-free domestic cats [PDF]
The Iberian lynx (Lynx pardinus) is considered the most endangered felid species in the world, less than 250 animals left. The narrow genetic basis may contribute to render this species particularly susceptible to infectious diseases.

Immunodeficiencies caused by infectious diseases. [PDF]
Immunodeficiencies caused by infectious agents may result from disruption of normal host barriers or dysregulation of cellular immunity, the latter serving to promote survival of the infectious agent through immune evasion.

New proof-of-concept in viral inactivation: virucidal efficacy of 405 nm light against feline calicivirus as a model for norovirus decontamination [PDF]
The requirement for novel decontamination technologies for use in hospitals is ever present. One such system uses 405 nm visible light to inactivate microorganisms via ROS-generated oxidative damage.

Possible immunoenhancement of persistent viremia by feline leukemia virus envelope glycoprotein vaccines in challenge-exposure situations where whole inactivated virus vaccines were protective. [PDF]
Kittens immunized with purified native FeLV-gp70 or -gp85 envelope proteins developed ELISA, but not virus neutralizing, antibodies in their serum to both whole FeLV and FeLV-gp70.

Bvr-1, a Restriction Locus of a Type C RNA Virus in the Feline Cellular Genome: Pleiotropic Restriction of Endogenous BALB Virus in Cat x Mouse Somatic Cell Hybrids [PDF]
Bvr-1 is a dominant X-linked feline gene which restricts the replication of B-tropic murineleukemia virus (B-MuLV) in somatic cell hybrids between murine BALB/c-RAG cells and FL-74 feline cells.
