Acute Transforming Feline Retroviruses

  • Chapter
Retroviruses 2

Part of the book series: Current Topics in Microbiology and Immunology ((CT MICROBIOLOGY,volume 107))

Abstract

The study of retroviruses associated with the domestic cat (Felis catus) has been of interest mainly because of the infective nature of these viruses in the domestic cat population and their association with neoplasms of an outbred mammalian species. The feline retroviruses can be divided into three groups: (a) the feline leukemia viruses (FeLVs), (b) the endogenous, xenotropic feline retroviruses, and (c) the acute transforming feline retroviruses (ATVs).
