Journal ArticleDOI
Isolation of a T-lymphotropic virus from domestic cats with an immunodeficiency-like syndrome.
TL;DR: A highly T-lymphotropic virus was isolated from cats in a cattery in which all the animals were seronegative for feline leukemia virus, and appears to be antigenically distinct from human immunodeficiency virus.
Journal ArticleDOI
Induction of AIDS in rhesus monkeys by molecularly cloned simian immunodeficiency virus
Harry W. Kestler,Toshiaki Kodama,Douglas J. Ringler,Marta L. Marthas,Niels C Pedersen,Andrew A. Lackner,Dean A. Regier,Prabhat K. Sehgal,Muthiah D. Daniel,Norval W. King,Ronald C. Desrosiers +10 more
TL;DR: An infectious molecular clone of simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) was identified that induces AIDS in common rhesus monkeys in a time frame suitable for laboratory investigation and defines a system for molecular dissection of the determinants of AIDS pathogenesis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Experimental transmission of Bartonella henselae by the cat flea.
Bruno B Chomel,Rickie W. Kasten,Kim A. Floyd-Hawkins,B Chi,Kazuhiro Yamamoto,J Roberts-Wilson,A N Gurfield,R. C. Abbott,Niels C Pedersen,Jane E. Koehler +9 more
TL;DR: Data demonstrate that the cat flea readily transmits B. henselae to cats, and control of feline infestation with this arthropod vector may provide an important strategy for the prevention of infection of both humans and cats.
Journal Article
Pathogenesis of experimentally induced feline immunodeficiency virus infection in cats.
Janet K. Yamamoto,Ellen E. Sparger,E. W. Ho,P. R. Andersen,T. P. O'Connor,Carol P. Mandell,Linda J. Lowenstine,Robert J. Munn,Niels C Pedersen +8 more
TL;DR: During short-term inoculation studies in cats, the feline immunodeficiency-like syndrome found in nature was not experimentally induced, but a distinct primary phase of infection was observed, and lymphadenopathy observed during the initial stage of FIV infection was ascribed to lymphoid hyperplasia and follicular dysplasia.
Journal ArticleDOI
Feline immunodeficiency virus infection
TL;DR: Experimental and seroepidemiologic studies suggest that FIV is transmitted mainly by bites, and intimate, non-traumatic contact is inefficient in transmitting the infection.
