Abstract
There are three exogenous, contagious retroviruses transmitted between cats: feline syncytium-forming virus (FeSFV); feline leukaemia virus (FeLV) and feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV). Of these viruses, FeSFV is generally considered to be non-pathogenic, whereas FeLV or FIV are important and common causes of disease. This chapter looks at both feline Leukaemia virus and feline immunodeficiency virus in depth.
