Retroviral infections of small animals

Stephen P Dunham et al. Vet Clin North Am Small Anim Pract. 2008 Jul.

Abstract

Retroviral infections are particularly important in cats, which are commonly infected with feline leukemia virus and feline immunodeficiency virus. This article describes the biology of these viruses and explores current issues regarding vaccination and diagnosis. The seeming lack of a recognized retrovirus infection in dogs is speculated on, and current and potential future therapies are discussed.
