Epidemiological Aspects and Clinicopathological Findings in Cats Naturally Infected with Feline Leukemia Virus (FeLV) and/or Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV)
Infections produced by feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) and feline leukemia virus (FeLV), two of the most prevalent pathogens in cats, range from passing unnoticed to presenting a wide variety of clinical signs. Different epidemiological, clinical, hematological and virological parameters were analyzed in 78 FIVand/or FeLV-infected cats. FeLV-infected (FeLV) cats were considerably younger th...
متن کاملClinical findings and survival in cats naturally infected with feline immunodeficiency virus.
BACKGROUND The clinical course and outcome of natural feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) infection are variable and incompletely understood. Assigning clinical relevance to FIV infection in individual cats represents a considerable clinical challenge. OBJECTIVE To compare signalment, hematologic and biochemical data, major clinical problem, and survival among client-owned, FIV-infected, and ...
متن کاملHumoral immune response of asymptomatic cats naturally infected with feline leukemia virus.
The humoral immune response of cats that were naturally infected with the feline leukemia virus (FeLV) was examined after antigenic stimulation with the synthetic antigen poly(L-Tyr, L-Glu)-poly(DL-Ala)-poly(L-Lys). The primary humoral antibody response in FeLV-infected cats was both delayed and greatly reduced, compared with that seen in uninfected control cats. A similar discordance was obser...
متن کاملThe kinetics of feline leukaemia virus shedding in experimentally infected cats are associated with infection outcome.
Feline leukaemia virus (FeLV) infection in felids results mainly from oronasal exposure to infectious saliva and nasal secretions, but the potential for viral transmission through faeces and urine has not been completely characterized. In order to assess and compare potential FeLV transmission routes, we determined the viral kinetics in plasma, saliva, faeces and urine during early experimental...
متن کاملQuantitative measurement of antibody inhibiting reverse transcriptase activity in cats naturally infected with feline immunodeficiency virus.
Quantitative measurement of reverse transcriptase-inhibiting (RTI) antibodies in Japanese household cats naturally infected with feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) was performed by poly A-linked colorimetric reverse transcriptase assay (PAC-RTA). Eight FIV-seropositive plasma samples were diluted twofold from 1:10 to 1:160 and incubated with FIV RT. Fifty percent RTI activity (RTI50) was calcu...
