    Vet Immunol Immunopathol 123:129-33. 2008
    ..In conclusion, the quantitative real-time PCR assays described herein are important prerequisites to quantify enFeLV proviral loads in felids and thus are important tools to investigate the role of enFeLV loads in FeLV infection...

    Valentino Cattori
    Clinical Laboratory, Vetsuisse Faculty, University of Zurich, Winterthurerstreet 260, CH 8057 Zurich, Switzerland
    Vet Immunol Immunopathol 123:124-8. 2008
    ..These results indicate that FeLV persistent viremia is associated with secondary viremia of bone marrow origin, whereas regressive cats only sustain a non-productive infection in low numbers of lymphocytes...
