  • Title: Prevalence and sequelae of feline leukemia virus infection in laboratory cats.
    Author: Ladiges WC, DiGiacomo RF, Wardrop KJ, Hardy WD.
    Journal: J Am Vet Med Assoc; 1981 Dec 01; 179(11):1206-7. PubMed ID: 6276347.
    Abstract:
    Over a 4-year period, 1,683 pound-source cats received at a research institution were screened for feline leukemia virus (FeLV) infection, using an indirect fluorescent antibody test. Viremia was detected in 83 of the cats, for a prevalence of 4.9%. During this period, FeLV infection was detected in 5 kittens on a research project; lymphoma or anemia developed 6 to 17 months after the infections were detected. It was concluded that apparently healthy cats infected with FeLV may not be appropriate for some biomedical research projects.
