The Feline Leukaemia Virus (FeLV) as well as Feline Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV) occur world-wide in felids. Prevalences in Germany range from 2% (FeLV) to 2-3% (FIV). Both diseases cause similar clinical symptoms in infected cats due to their immunosuppressive effects. FeLV antigen or FIV antibody detection are proven to be the diagnostic method of choice confirming a FeLV or FIV infection, respectively.
FeLV infected, viraemic cats normally show high concentrations of extracellular (free) FeLV antigen 3 weeks post infection. About 95% of the FIV infected cats show high FIV antibody concentration approximately 4 weeks post infection.
Based on highly specific monoclonal FeLV antibodies and recombinant FIV proteins, respectively, FASTest® FeLV-FIV is an important diagnostic tool for the evaluation of clinically suspicious cats.
