    Author: Hartmann K, Werner RM, Egberink H, Jarrett O.
    Journal: Vet Rec; 2001 Sep 15; 149(11):317-20. PubMed ID: 11583125.
    Abstract:
    Six rapid tests for the diagnosis of feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) and feline leukaemia virus (FeLV) infections which have recently been introduced in Europe for use in small animal practice were compared. Eight hundred serum samples were tested and those reacting FIV-positive in at least one of the tests were confirmed by Western blot, and those reacting FeLV-positive were confirmed by virus isolation. The specificity and sensitivity of each test and the quality of the results produced were compared.
