About Feline Immunodeficiency Virus
Feline immunodeficiency virus is a lentivirus that affects cats worldwide, with 2. 5% to 4. 4% of being infected. FIV differs taxonomically from two other feline retroviruses, feline leukemia virus and feline foamy virus, and is more closely related to human immunodeficiency virus.
