Abstract
A study of 180 healthy cats found that 15.6% were feline leukemia virus (Fe LV) positive, 8.3% were feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) positive, and 1 .1% were FIV and FeLV positive, which corresponded to 30.4, 13.8, and 2.6, of 115 cats with FIV- and FeLV-related symptoms, respectively. Differences were seen in the sexes and ages of the populations studied. Anemia, leukope nia, and lymphopenia were the most frequent hematological abnormalities in infected cats.
