Feline leukemia as a still relevant problem in domestic and wild animals – the current state of knowledge
The aim of this review is to present information about leukemia caused by feline leukemia virus (FeLV) infection in felids. Despite widespread vaccinations, leukemia is still one of the most common diseases in cats. FeLV infection occurs by direct contact between animals, especially through contact with saliva. Infection with this highly contagious virus is characterized by immunosuppression and non-specific signs, such as cytopenia or tumorigenesis. The virus is transmitted horizontally through close contact between cats and vertically from infected queens to their kittens. Persistently infected cats are the reservoir of the virus. Rapid ELISA tests and immunochromatography play a major role in diagnosis, but RT-PCR is the most reliable diagnostic method. There is no specific therapy against FeLV, so treatment is mainly symptomatic. Research on the use of antiviral drugs, i.e. tenofovir, raltegravir, and fozyvudine, is underway. Proper prophylaxis, including regular vaccination of animals, is important to minimize the risk and consequences of infection
期刊介绍:
"Medycyna Weterynaryjna" publishes various types of articles which are grouped in the following editorial categories: reviews, original studies, scientific and professional problems, the history of veterinary medicine, posthumous memoirs, as well as chronicles that briefly relate scientific advances and developments in the veterinary profession and medicine. The most important are the first two categories, which are published with short summaries in English. Moreover, from 2001 the editors of "Medycyna Weterynaryjna", bearing in mind market demands, has also started publishing entire works in English. Since 2008 the periodical has appeared in an electronic version. The following are available in this version: summaries of studies published from 1999 to 2005, full versions of all the studies published in the years 2006-2011 (in pdf files), and full versions of the English studies published in the current year (pdf). Only summaries of the remaining studies from the current year are available. In accordance with the principles accepted by the editors, the full versions of these texts will not be made available until next year.
All articles are evaluated twice by leading Polish scientists and professionals before they are considered for publication. For years now "Medycyna Weterynaryjna" has maintained a high standard thanks to this system. The review articles are actually succinct monographs dealing with specific scientific and professional problems that are based on the most recent findings. Original works have a particular value, since they present research carried out in Polish and international scientific centers.
