VIRAL LEUKAEMIA IN DOMESTIC CATS

RNA viruses of the genus LeukovirUB (oncornavirus) have been shown to induce neoplasms in a range of vertebrate species. Certain leukoviruses, designated e-types on morphological grounds, have been identified as the aetiological agents of leukaemia in chickens, mice and cats. The C-type viruses exhibit similar structural and biological properties, and those from the mammalian species are related immunologically. All have a closely related sarcoma variant. The spontaneous occurrence of feline viral leukaemia in an essentially outbred population and its transmissibility to unrelated animals have shown that viralleukaemogenesis is not a phenomenon restricted to experimental situations or inbred species.
