AB In a nationwide study 6101 cats were tested for presence of feline
leukemia virus (FeLV) antigen and for feline immunodeficiency virus
(FIV) antibodies utilizing enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).
21.8% of the German cat population may be FeLV- and/or FIV-positive. Of
the animals tested, 13.4% were found to be FeLV carriers, while 8.4%
showed evidence of FIV infection. Infection with both viruses was
identified in 2.1% of the cats tested. Of the animals showing clinical
symptoms, nearly one cat in three was found to be carrying either one or
both of the viruses. Male cats were more likely to be infected then were
females, similarly as were free-roaming cats, compared with confined
cats; domestic cats, compared with purebred cats; and cats > 6 years
old, compared with younger cats.
