Phylogenetic analysis of Portuguese Feline Immunodeficiency Virus sequences reveals high genetic diversity.

Veterinary microbiology - 16 Apr 2006

Abstract excerpt

Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV) is a Lentivirus responsible for an immunodeficiency like disease in domestic cats. Based on the genetic diversity of the V3-V5 region of env gene FIV is divided in five phylogenetic subtypes (A, B, C, D and E) with a world-wide distribution. To understand the subtype diversity of FIV in Portugal a serological survey was conducted during 1 year in the Veterinary Faculty...
