FeLV si FIV IntroducereFeline leukemia virus (FeLV) and feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) are
among the most common infectious diseases of cats. Risk factors forinfection include male gender, adulthood, and outdoor access, whereas indoorlifestyle and sterilization are associated with reduced infection rates.26
The retroviral status of all cats should be known. Cats may requireretrovirus testing at different times in their lives. Here are some generalprinciples for retrovirus testing:
A cat with a confirmed-positive test result should be diagnosed ashaving a retroviral infection not clinical disease. Diseases in cats infected
with FeLV or FIV may not necessarily be the result of the retrovirus infection.Cats infected with FeLV or FIV may live for many years.
A decision for euthanasia should never be made solely on the basis ofwhether or not the cat is infected. No test is 100% accurate at all times under allconditions. All test results should be interpreted along with the patients healthand prior likelihood of infection.
All positives should be confirmed by another test method.While they can be life-threatening viruses, proper management can
give infected cats longer, healthier lives.

FeLV(Eng.-Ro.)Feline leukaemia virus (FeLV) is a retrovirus, which may inducedepression of the immune system, anaemia and/ or lymphoma
( anemie,imunosupresie,limfom) It affects cats worldwide. The prevalence of infection in Europe islow(5%), although it may exceed 20% in some regions fromEast Europe ( prevalenta 5-20% datorita lipsei de informare aproprietarului si a vaccinarii, comertului cu animale fara acunoaste provenienta acestora, si lipsei metodelor de testare)
Over the past 25 years, the prevalence of FeLV infection hasdropped in US (datorita actiunilor sustinute de informare-profilaxie si datorita testelor si vaccinurilor), thanks to reliablediagnostic tests and vaccines.

EPIDEMIOLOGIE Transmission of infection occurs through viral shedding (saliva,
faeces,nasal secretions, milk) by FeLV infected cats.(transmitereavirusurilor se realizeaza prin secretii, excretii, lapte, bolurile de apa simancare custile de transport, litierele venite in contact cu pisicileinfectate.Transmission between cats occurs mainly through friendlycontacts(mutual grooming), but also through biting. (transmiterea sepoate face doar prin contact, muscatura, zgarietura)
In large groups of cats: ( distributia viremiei) 30-40% will develop persistent viraemia, 30-40% show transient viraemia and 20-30% seroconvert; a minority(IgM IgG) (~5%) shows antigenaemia in the absence of viraemia
In viraemic queens, pregnancy usually results in embryonic death,
stillbirth or viraemic, fading kittens(mortalitate embrionara, pisoineviabili)Young kittens are especially susceptible to FeLV infection.
With age, cats become increasingly resistant( receptivitatea maxima oau pisoii mici in primele saptamani de viata)

DIAGNOSTICUL FeLV
Soluble-antigen tests are preferred for initial screening.These include:
Immunochromatographic FAST tests: Agrolabo FeLV IC
Agrolabo FeLV/FIV IC
ELISA: Agrolabo FeLV ELISA Ab Anti GP70
Agrolabo FeLV ELISA antigenic
While screening tests detect the presence of free antigen inthe circulating blood, the IFA tests for the presence ofantigen within infected white blood cells and platelets.

Managmentul FeLV Supportive therapy (including fluid therapy if required) and good nursing care Secondary infections should be treated promptly
Feline interferon omega may reduce clinical signs and extend the survival time
AZT (azidothymidine) may be used, but side effects may occur
Blood transfusions may prolong survival (Agrolabo RapidVet-H feline)
Asymptomatic FeLV + cats may live many years and end up dying of anunrelated cause FeLV + cats need special care to avoid infections
FeLV infected cats should remain indoors and receive a regular clinical
check-up (every 6 months) (Carantina)
Corticosteroids, other immune-suppressive or bone marrow-suppressive
drugs should be avoided (Atentie! Imunosupresori corticosteroizi)
The virus does not survive for long outside the host and is readily destroyed
by disinfectants, soap, heating and drying (Rezista putin in mediu)
However, the virus may survive in faeces; it remains viable if kept moist
at room temperature

Imunoprofilaxia
All cats of uncertain FeLV status should be testedprior to vaccination (Se recomanda testarea tuturorpisicilor inainte de vaccinare, folosind testele rapide )
All healthy cats with a potential risk of exposure(outdoor access, FeLV endemic area) should be vaccinatedagainst FeLV
Kittens should be vaccinated at 8 to 9 weeks of age, with a
second vaccination at 12 weeks, followed by a booster oneyear later (Vaccinarea se face la varsta de 8-9 saptamani, curapel la 12 saptamani, apoi la un an)
Inactivated vaccines are recommended

Prezentare de caz StinkyStinky's chronic problems
Stinky, a 4 year old neutered male, was presented to the clinicin August 1992. He had been depressed and anorexic and for theprevious two days he had diarrhea with lots of mucous. Owner hadnoticed a wound on the right side of his abdomen.
We examine Stinky and find:Depressed, T= 39.5o, Pulse =144, yellow mucous membranes. Wound on right lateralabdomen with palpable firm tract going ventrally. Oral cavity- large red plaque with small
white plaques under tongue - some ocular discharge - 8% dehydrated. When placing IVcatheter cat went into cardiac arrest - revived with external cardiac massage. Positivepressure ventilation, IV epinephrine, bicarbonate, dexamethasone - later given mannitol IV.CBC: Neutropenia with left shift and 2+ toxic change. PCV 0.24 - non regenerative SADB(small animal data-base): bilirubin 40. 2+ icteric serum UA (urinalysis): strong positive forbilirubin +2 blood 1+ bilirubin crystllauria SG 1.068.
Stinky's rescords show:
Stinky had a long history of chronic infections and problems that are summarized below:Normal until 1990, except:Chronic non-parasitic otitis externa overweight - 8kg, Began losing weight in mid-1990.Developed suspicious number of abscesses and infected scratches after skirmishes with
other catsworkup shows :whitish grey plaques bilaterally in ear-canal - biopsies non-diagnostic noradiographic evidence of otitis media... otitis resolved after antibiotic treatment

Stinky's rescords show:Spring 1991: Hair coat shows marked thinning,presumably pruritic as cat is constantly grooming.Skin and hair samples show evidence ofdermatophytosis
Culture on dermatophyte medium Dermakit-heavy growth of Trichophyton equinum and anotherobscure dermatophyte that is not normally pathogenictreated with oral ketoconazole resolved in 2 weeks, hair coat improved.
Fall 1991: Upper respiratory tract problems but no etiological agent couldbe identified
Spring 1991: Alopecia and pruritus returned. URT problems still there.alopecia treated with oral vitamin E
You decide to see if Stinky's chronic problems are related to FeLV infection.
What should you do?
What samples do you need to take? What does the tests determine? What do the results mean?
Stinky's test show that he is FeLV ELISA-FastKit: positive, FeLV PCR:positive

Prezentare caz Emily-4luni
Emily was a 4 month old female Siamese. She was apparently healthy until theprevious day when she was caught under the leg of a recliner chair. She hashad difficulty breathing since then. A physical examination showed that Emilyhad trouble breathing - Inspirational effort, marked pleural effusion present.Her chest showed more than normal resistance to compression.Radiological findings:There is a medium to large volume of pleural fluid with associated lung
collapse. The mediastinum is abnormally dense. The heart is difficult to assess.Progress exam. No.1 - There is an increased volume of pleural f luid with furtherlung collapseProgress exam No 2 - Again there is an increase in pleural fluid indicatingactive fluid formation or hemorrhage, as the case may be.Reassessment of the abdomen indicates an almost certain cranial mediastinalmass as seen in the dorsoventral view.Radiologist's note:This latter diagnosis, although unsuspected in the context of the proposedtrauma, was confirmed on the basis of the palpable mass in the mediastinum.the reason for the rapid fluid formation is uncertain. Possibly, trauma mightcause hemorrhage in a mass or a mass may erode regional vasculature toproduce such blood tinged fluid as it is removed from this cat's thorax onrepeated occasions.

Necropsy reportGross necropsy: Ventral mediastinal area contains a nodular, grey-
white mass-- approximately 3 X 3 X 6 cm in size. Both right and leftlung lobes appear atelectatic and there is a 2 cm tear in the posteriormediastinum. A single sub lumbar lymph node is visibly enlarged.HistopathologySections of mediastinal mass contain a uniform population oflymphoblast like cells. These cells have roughly circular nuclei, somehave prominent nucleoli and most have minimal cytoplasm that has illdefined margins. There are scattered foci of necrotic cells andhemorrhage. Similar cells have replaced the sub lumbar lymph nodethat was sectioned and are also present in sinusoids and portal areas ofthe liver.Immunohistochemistry
A section of the liver shows cells that stain with anti GAG antibody aswell as antibody against CD3.
How would you interpret the results of the immunohistochemistry? Was the tumor induced by a feline retrovirus? How did a young 4 month old kitten develop rapidlygrowing retrovirus induced tumor?

Feline immunodeficiency virus- FIV
First isolated in 1986, (FIV) is a retrovirus-lentivirusclosely related to HIV. Most felids are susceptible to FIV,
but humans are not.
FIV is endemic in domestic cat populations worldwide
(4 subtypes A and B are most common in Europe)
Seroprevalence of FIV varies greatly between regions
Sick adult cats, male cats and free-roaming cats are
most likelyto be infected FIV loses infectivity quickly outside the host and is
susceptible to all disinfectants including common soap

Infectia cu FIV
Most FIV infections are acquired by bites (fights,mating) from persistently infected cats. The risk oftransmission is low in households with socially well-
adapted cats (Transmiterea frecvent prin muscaturi) Transmission from mother to kittens may occur,
especially if the queen is undergoing an acuteinfection (Transmiterea de la mama la pui frecventeinfectii acute)
FIV infected cats are persistently infected in spite oftheir ability to mount antibody and cell-mediatedimmune responses

Clinic suspicionam FIV?Infection has a long latent or asymptomatic phase. Infected catsgenerally remain free of clinical signs for several years, and somecats never develop disease. (Perioada de latenta lunga.Semnele clinice pot lipsi ani de zile sau pe tot timpul vietii)Clinical signs are not caused by FIV, but are the consequence ofimmunodeficiency(CD4+/CD8+ decreased ratio)
Typical manifestations are: Acute phase
May last a few days to few weeks (cateva zile cateva saptamani) Fever and malaise may go unnoticed (febra)
Acute enteritis (diarrhea), stomatitis, dermatitis, conjunctivitis,respiratory tract disease (enterite, stomatite, dermatite,conjunctivite, inflamatii ale tractusului respirator)

DIAGNOSTICUL FIVFIV produces a persistent, life-long infection, so detection of
antibodies in peripheral blood has been judged sufficient forroutine diagnostic screening (screening epidemiologic) ifthe cat has not been previously vaccinated against FIV and hasnot acquired FIV antibodies in colostrum.21, 22
ELISA and other immunochromatographic tests are thepreferred screening tests:
Agrolabo FIV ELISA antibody
Agrolabo FIV IC
Agrolabo FeLV/FIV IC
Confirmation of positive screening tests should include adifferent method or at least an antibody test from a different
manufacturer.23, 24,22
-
8/12/2019 Boli Pisici an 5 Curs FelV Si FIV
35/56
DIAGNOSTICUL FIVVaccination of cats against FIV induces anti-FIV antibodies . These
antibodies persist for at least one year and can be transferred incolostrum to kittens.
Discriminant ELISA was reported by Dr. Levy and co-workers fromthe University of Florida, can differentiate between antibodiesproduced after FIV vaccination and antibodies produced after FIV
infection.While polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assays may help distinguishcats infected with FIV from cats vaccinated against FIV, one studyfound marked variability in diagnostic accuracy among commerciallaboratories.
Positive in-practice ELISA test results obtained in a low-prevalenceor low-risk population should always be confirmed by a laboratoryWestern blot or IFAare the gold standard laboratory test for FIV

PCR-based assays (for proviral DNA) are variable in performance and
may even be inferior to serological tests

Diagnostic-rezultate fals negative!
False negatives occur due to: Anergic stage of disease (terminal phase)
Early infection and lack of seroconversion
Lack of seroconversion due to immunosuppression orseroconversion occurs later in disease (up to 6 months
reported) *Most cats seroconvert within 2-4 weeks post-exposure but
may take up to 8 weeks

Managmentul Bolii
Cats should never be euthanised only on the basis of an FIVpositive test result, cats may live as long as uninfected cats.
Neutering is recommended to reduce aggression and decrease
biting incidents FIV infected cats should receive regular (6 monthly) veterinaryhealth checks including routine biochemistry, haematology and
weight monitoring Prompt and accurate diagnosis of any secondary illness is essential
FIV infected cats can be housed in the same ward as otherpatients, but should be kept in individual cages separate fromcats with contagious conditions
In rescue shelters, cats should be housed individually to avoidcrossinfection
(at the very least, FIV positive cats should be segregated)

Feline interferon omega may reduce clinical signs andextend the survival time (interferon)
AZT (azidothymidine) may be used, but side effects may
occur Surgery is well-tolerated by asymptomatic FIV infectedcats, but perioperative antibiotic treatment should be usedin all cases (obligatoriu antibiotic post-operator)
Care must be taken to avoid iatrogenic virus
transmission (e.g. by thorough decontamination ofsurgical instruments that have been used on seropositivecats)
Avoid use of Griseofulvin for dermatophyte infections(increased susceptibility to neutropenia)

new vaccine available on the market minimal side effects
Efficacy quoted to be 82% but heavily disputed Protects against Subtype A and D of FIV
Subtype B FIV probably more common

FeLV Algoritmul de Diagnostic
All positive results should be confirmed, especially asymptomatic andlow-risk cats. Re-test immediately with IFA/ELISA Negative screening test results are highly reliable. However, if results are
negative but recent infection cannot be ruled out, testing should be repeateda minimum of30 days after the last potential exposure (Supraveghereepidemiologica 3 testari la un interval de 30 de zile efectuate pe un numarcat mai mare de animlae preferabil toate animalele din efectiv)
Discordant results may be due to the stage of infection, the variability ofhost responses or technical problems with testing. It is not usually possibleto determine the true FeLV infection status of cats with persistentlydiscordant test results.
Antigen Test Negative results for either FeLV or FIV are much more reliable because of the
low prevalence of infection in most cat populations. No test is 100% accurate all the time, under all conditions. In cat populations
with a low prevalence, for example less than 0.5%, more than half of the catsthat test positive are likely to be uninfected.26

FIV Algoritmul de Diagnostic Cats vaccinated with a whole-virus vaccine will test antibody-positive. Re-test with another
antibody test. Negative screening test results are highly reliable. However, if results are negative but recent
infection cannot be ruled out, testing should be repeated a minimum of 60 days after the lastpotential exposure. (Necesitatea repetarii testului dupa 60 de zile)
Antibody Test If positive after kitten reaches 6 months old, consider FIV-infected and continue appropriate
management program. (Anticorpii maternali persista in organism maximum 6 luni de zile)
May also consider utilizing alternative test methods such as culture or PCR where available. If negative at any interval, consider free of infection and begin wellness program. Kittens may be tested for FeLV and FIV at any age. Most kittens test negative, indicating no
infection. Antibody tests for FIV can detect antibodies passed in colostrum from an infected orvaccinated mother, which can be mistaken for infection in the kitten.
FeLV vaccinations will NOT induce positive test results. FIV vaccinations WILL induce positive test results.

Sanatoase Clinic
Examinations should be performed at least twice a year and at each visit:
Update medical history. Monitor for any signs of weight loss. Perform a thorough physical exam; pay close attention to lymph nodes,
eyes and oral cavity. Perform a complete blood count, biochemical analysis, urinalysis, and
fecal examination at least once a year. FeLV cats may need a complete
blood count twice a year. Spay or neuter intact cats. Control internal and external parasites. Vaccinate as lifestyle indicates. Most retrovirus-infected cats mount
adequate immune responses when vaccinated, and there is no need tomodify standard vaccination intervals.28
There is controversy about the use of inactivated versus modified-live
vaccines. Current recommendations are to use inactivated vaccineproducts due to the theoretical risk of a modified-live product regainingits pathogenicity in cats with compromised immune systems.
Infected queens should not be bred and should be spayed if theircondition is sufficiently stable to permit them to undergo surgery.

Prompt and accurate diagnosis is essential to allow early therapeuticintervention and a successful treatment outcome. Therefore, intensivediagnostic testing should proceed early in the course of illness forinfected cats.
Many cats infected with FeLV or FIV respond as well as their uninfectedcounterparts to appropriate medications and treatment
strategies,although a longer or more aggressive course of treatmentmay be needed. Few attempts have been made to evaluate anti-viral drugs,
immunomodulators, or alternative therapies in large controlled studiesof naturally infected cats. To date, no treatment has been shown toreverse well-established retrovirus infection in cats.
Clients with a healthy or ill retrovirus positive cat may be frightened bythe initial diagnosis. It is important to alleviate these fears when appropriate and offer
encouraging advice on the proper care and management of the cat.

LIMITAREA TRANSMITERII FeLV-FIV
In the veterinary PracticeRetroviruses are unstable outside their host animals and can be quickly
inactivated by detergents and routine disinfectants.1317Simple precautions and routine cleaning procedureswill prevent transmission
of these agents in veterinary hospitals.As a guide:
All infected patients should be housed in individual cages and not inisolation/contagious wards where they may be exposed to infectious agents.
Staff shouldwash their hands between patients and after cleaning cages.Because FeLV and FIV can be transmitted in blood transfusions, donors
should be tested prior to donating.A real-time PCR test for FeLV is alsorecommended for blood donors as proviral elements in seronegative cats with
regressive FeLV infection may cause infection in transfusion recipients.Dental and surgical instruments, endotracheal tubes and other itemspotentially contaminated with body f luids should be thoroughly cleaned andsterilized between uses.
Fluid lines, multi-dose medication containers and food can becomecontaminated with body f luids (especially blood or saliva) and should not be sharedamong patients.

LIMITAREA TRANSMITERII FeLV-FIV
Limiting transmissionAt home
Confine Infected cats should be confined indoors so they do not pose arisk of infection to other cats and so they are protected against infectioushazards in the environment.Isolate The best method of preventing spread to other cats in thehousehold is to isolate the infected cat from interacting with its
housemates. Isolation to a separate room is recommended, but a simplescreen or chain-link barrier is adequate. Generally, FIV transmission is lowin households with stable social structures where housemates do not fight,but FeLV can still be transmitted via friendly interactions.Dont Introduce If separation is not possible, no new cats should beintroduced in the household to reduce the risk of territorial aggression.
If owners choose not to separate retrovirus-infected housemates from theirother cats, the uninfected cats should be consideredfor vaccination.Vaccinated cats should be isolated from infected cats for at least twomonths after the vaccine series is completed.

LIMITAREA TRANSMITERII FeLV-FIVPrevention of FeLV and FIV transmission in Shelters and Catteries
Control recommendations: As for pet cats, it is ideal for all cats in shelters and catteries to be tested for FeLV and FIV. Testing at admission is optional for singly-housed cats in shelters, but all cats in breeding catteries should be
tested. Testing is highly recommended for group-housed cats. If not performed prior to adoption, testingshould be recommended to the new owner before exposure to other cats.
Testing should be repeated 60 days after the initial test and annuallyfor cats kept in long-term grouphousing.
Each cat should be individually tested. Testing representative kittens in a litter or colony and extrapolatingresults to other cats in the group is unreliable. Procedures such as pooling multiple samples for use in a single
test reduce test sensitivity and should not be performed. Both foster families and adopters should have their own resident cats tested prior to fostering or adopting a
new cat. FeLV vaccination is optional for singly housed cats. Cats should test negative prior to vaccination. FeLV
vaccination is highly recommended for all cats housed in groups and for both foster cats and permanentresidents in foster homes.
In catteries that follow testing guidelines and maintain retrovirus-negative status, vaccination against FeLVand FIV is not necessary.
Vaccination is not 100% effective and should never be used in place of a test and segregate program. In contrast to the case for feline panleukopenia, herpesvirus and calicivirus vaccines, the value of a single FeLVvaccine for feral cats has not been determined. Therefore, FeLV vaccination is not recommended for feral cattrap-neuter-return programs if program resources are needed for higher priorities.
FIV vaccination is not recommended for use in shelters or feral cats. Strict adherence to universal precautions is required to prevent iatrogenic transmission of retroviruses in the
shelter environment via contaminated equipment and secretions.

You dont have to consider it a death sentence. First of all, youd dowell to have the animal retested after about three months, sincethe original test may have yielded a false positive.
Secondly, some FeLV-infected cats develop an effective immuneresponse, which controls the viral infection and results in atransient viremia instead of a persistent viremia.
In these cats, subsequent FeLVtests will show that the cat nolonger has virus in its blood.
Finally, while there is no complete cure for FeLVor FIV infection,newer treatments and supportive care can often result in several
years of relatively good health.
