Serological prevalence of FeLV and FIV in cats in Peninsular Malaysia.

Feline Leukemia (Fel.V) and Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV) are the two feline retroviruses that were studied in 65 client-owned cats from eight veterinary centres in selected areas throughout Peninsular Malaysia during a 4-week period. Blood samples were collected for serological tests using S...
