The zoonotic potential of feline leukemia virus
Abstract
The many studies that have addressed the possibility for FeLV infection in human beings are reviewed in this article. Because of the many similarities between FeLV-induced immune system impairment in cats and retrovirus related acquired immune deficiency syndrome in man, these two conditions are discussed as well.
