Abstract excerpt

Blood types can influence host susceptibility to infectious diseases by modifying erythrocyte surface antigens that act as pathogen receptors. In cats, AB blood group system polymorphisms determine the expression of distinct sialic acids, with the N-glycolylneuraminic acid (NeuGc) primarily expressed in type A, the N-acetylneuraminic acid (NeuAc) in type B, and both in type AB erythrocytes.
