Abstract excerpt
In an investigation of the evolution of feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) in vivo, sequential isolates from a persistently infected cat were examined by direct sequencing following amplification of selected subgenomic regions by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Three isolates, T90, T91, and T92, obtained over a three-year period revealed no changes to regions known to be conserved within gag and pol genes....
