Infections of feline leukemia virus and feline immunodeficiency virus.
Feline retrovirus infections have been extensively studied for more than 30 years as an animal model for the persistent infections and pathogenesis caused by retroviruses in general. Two retroviruses, feline leukemia virus (FeLV) and feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV), have been recognized as causative agents of a variety of diseases including proliferative and degenerative diseases. Recent st...
متن کاملA comparison of real-time PCR and reverse line blot hybridization in detecting feline haemoplasmas of domestic cats and an analysis of risk factors associated with haemoplasma infections
BACKGROUND Three species of feline haemoplasma are recognised: Mycoplasma haemofelis (Mhf), 'Candidatus Mycoplasma haemominutum' (CMhm) and 'Candidatus Mycoplasma turicensis (CMt). This study compared a reverse line blot hybridization (RLB) assay for simultaneous detection of Mhf, CMhm with three separate quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) assays used for diagnosis of Mhf, ...
متن کاملSeroprevalence of feline leukemia virus and feline immunodeficiency virus infection among cats in Canada.
The purposes of this study were to determine the seroprevalence of feline leukemia virus (FeLV) and feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) infection among cats in Canada and to identify risk factors for seropositivity. Signalment, lifestyle factors, and test results for FeLV antigen and FIV antibody were analyzed for 11 144 cats from the 10 Canadian provinces. Seroprevalence for FIV antibody was 4...
متن کاملInhibition of Feline Leukemia Virus Replication in chronically Infected cell Line Utilizing RnA Interference
Feline Leukemia virus (FeLV) is a pathogenic retrovirus endemic among domestic cats, remaining a serious disease since its discovery in 1964. RNA interference (RNAi) is a process in which double-stranded RNA induces the post-transcriptional sequencespecific degradation of homologous messenger RNA. At present, RNAi technology is regarded as a potential strategy for the treatment of various disea...
متن کاملEvaluation of feline immunodeficiency virus and feline leukemia virus transmembrane peptides for serological diagnosis.
The general model for retrovirus transmembrane (TM) proteins proposed by Gallaher et al. (W. R. Gallaher, J. M. Ball, R. F. Garry, M. C. Griffin, and R. C. Montelaro, AIDS Res. Hum. Retroviruses 5:431-440, 1989) suggests that all retrovirus TM proteins may contain an immunodominant domain (Imd-TM peptide) located at the apex of the TM polypeptide. Although this Imd-TM peptide has been shown to ...
