Feline leukaemia virus: an update

Sarah Caney PhD, The RCVS Certificate in Small Animal Medicine

IN the 1980s, feline leukaemia virus (FeLV) infection was a particular problem in breeding catteries but, as a result of increased awareness and ‘test and removal’ control policies, it is rarely encountered in this situation today and it is now mainly in non-pedigree cats that the infection is diagnosed. This, the second of two articles on feline infectious diseases, outlines the various clinical manifestations of FeLV-related disease and discusses the diagnostic challenges posed by the virus. The first article (In Practice, May 2000, pp 255-260) provided an update on feline immunodeficiency virus.

The author would like to thank Dr Andy Sparkes and Dr Dave Harbour of The Feline Centre, University of Bristol, for their help and comments during the preparation of this article. The University of Bristol Veterinary School Photography Department is also acknowledged for its help with the illustrations.
