Viral Disease in Cats

The well-being of cats in an established cattery deteriorated after a cat

developed diarrhea, anemia, neurologic abnormalities, and rhinitis and other

infections, aborted a litter, and died; during the next years, nine other cats in the

same pen developed similar disease and died. The virus responsible for the

disease was isolated by Pedersen et al. and compared with the human AIDS

virus; disease was transmitted experimentally to pathogen-free kittens. The new

virus, called feline T-lymphotropic lentivirus (FTLV), is antigenically distinct

from other cat viruses and from the AIDS virus. However, FTLV resembles the

AIDS virus in morphology, in having a strong tropism for T cell, in mental

requirements for the functioning of its reverse transcriptase, and in its ability to

cause a disease similar to AIDS. Although this virus poses a threat to cat

populations, it and the cats that harbor it may help in the study of AIDS.
