Lymphocyte T-Cell Immunomodulator is intended as an aid in the treatment of cats infected with feline leukemia virus (FeLV) and/or feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV), and the associated symptoms of lymphocytopenia, opportunistic infection, anemia, granulocytopenia, or thrombocytopenia. The absence of any observed adverse events in several ...
There is a lack of evidence that FIP as such is transmissible from cat to cat, although it may explain rare mini-outbreaks of FIP. [8] However, the virus, FCov, is transmissible from cat to cat. A study on 59 FIP infected cats found that, unlike FCoV, feces from FIP infected cats were not infectious to laboratory cats via oronasal route. [9]
Recombinant feline interferon omega (RFeIFN-ω), sold under the brand name Virbagen Omega among others, is a recombinant version of a cat interferon alpha. [1] It is used to treat a range of viral diseases in cats and dogs, including canine parvovirus, feline leukemia virus (FeLV), and feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) in many countries.
Feline coronavirus (FCoV) is a positive-stranded RNA virus that infects cats worldwide. [2] It is a coronavirus of the species Alphacoronavirus 1 , which includes canine coronavirus (CCoV) and porcine transmissible gastroenteritis coronavirus (TGEV).
FIV is the acronym for feline immunodeficiency virus and is the feline form of HIV. While many people mistakenly believe FIV is a death sentence, many FIV+ cats actually live long, healthy lives.
