Abstract
Sixty six stray cats were tested for infection by the F.I.V. Their hum oral immune response has been followed for 12 weeks after vaccination against rabies, feline parvovirus, herpesvirus and calicivirus. No dif ferences were found between F.1,V-infected and non-infected cats. Besi des their importance on clinical, prognostic and vaccinal points, thes e results show that cats behave as HIV-infected children, and improve the importance of F.I.V. as a model in comparative pathology.
