Journal ArticleDOI
Patterns of Feline Immunodeficiency Virus Multiple Infection and Genome Divergence in a Free-Ranging Population of African Lions
Jennifer L. Troyer,Jill Pecon-Slattery,Melody E. Roelke,Lori Black,Craig Packer,Stephen J. O'Brien +5 more
TL;DR: A comprehensive study of FIV-Ple in a free-ranging population of lions reveals a dynamic transmission of virus in a social species that has historically adapted to render the virus benign.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pathological manifestations of feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) infection in wild African lions.
Melody E. Roelke,Meredith A. Brown,Jennifer L. Troyer,Hanlie Evelyn Kathleen Winterbach,Christiaan W. Winterbach,Graham Hemson,Dahlem Smith,Randall C. Johnson,Jill Pecon-Slattery,Alfred L. Roca,Alfred L. Roca,Kathleen A. Alexander,Lin V. Klein,Paolo Martelli,Karthiyani Krishnasamy,Stephen J. O'Brien +15 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that over time FIVple infections in free-ranging lions can lead to adverse clinical, immunological, and pathological outcomes in some individuals that parallel sequelae caused by lentivirus infection in humans (HIV), Asian macaques (SIV) and domestic cats (FIVfca).
Journal ArticleDOI
FIV cross-species transmission: an evolutionary prospective
Jennifer L. Troyer,Sue VandeWoude,Jill Pecon-Slattery,Carl E. Mcintosh,Sam Franklin,Agostinho Antunes,Warren E. Johnson,Stephen J. O'Brien +7 more
TL;DR: The utility of FIV as a model to discover the variables necessary for establishment and control of lentiviral infections in new species is illustrated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phylogenetic assessment of introns and SINEs within the Y chromosome using the cat family felidae as a species tree.
TL;DR: The data suggest X-degenerate genes within the NRY are singularly powerful markers and offer a valuable patrilineal perspective in species evolution.
Journal ArticleDOI
T-Lymphocyte Profiles in FIV-Infected Wild Lions and Pumas Reveal CD4 Depletion
Melody E. Roelke,Jill Pecon-Slattery,S A Taylor,Scott B. Citino,Eric W. Brown,Craig Packer,Sue VandeWoude,Stephen J. O'Brien +7 more
TL;DR: Results from FIV-infected lions and pumas parallel human and Asian monkey CD4+ diminution in HIV and SIV infection, respectively, and suggest there may be unrecognized immunological consequences of FIV infection in these two species of large cats.
