Feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) is one of the most common and consequential infectious diseases of cats around the world. In infected cats, FIV attacks the immune system, leaving the cat vulnerable to many other infections.

貓免疫缺陷病毒 （英語： feline immunodeficiency virus，簡稱：FIV）屬於 反轉錄病毒科 慢病毒屬，受到感染的 貓 會罹患貓後天免疫缺乏症候群，俗稱貓愛滋病（FAIDS）。 雖然稱為貓愛滋病，但與人類的 愛滋病 不同的是，貓愛滋病並非透過 性行為 傳染，主要是透過打架時、含病毒唾液經傷口傳染；另一個不同在於，感染FIV的貓之 死亡率 並沒有人類的愛滋病來得高，通常就算患病，不使用藥物的情況下仍然能夠活至正常壽命。 目前已有對抗此病毒的 疫苗。 對養貓者來 …

Cats infected with FIV have an impaired immune system due to reduced CD4 + helper T-cells, making them more susceptible to opportunistic infections (2,4). Life expectancy in FIV positive (FIV + ve) cats has been reported to be not significantly less than for FIV negative (FIV – ve) cats ( 2 , 4 ); but this could be due to lack of exposure to ...

2002年11月5日 · Most of the time, FIV infection is discovered using a screening test performed in your vet’s office or on a blood panel. Once a cat has been identified as positive by a screening test, it is best to confirm with an additional test of a different type, such as a PCR test or Western Blot, to add an extra degree of certainty.

2025年3月19日 · FIV is a complex disease and there is unfortunately no cure. A big worry for owners of cats that are FIV-positive is whether they can safely live with other FIV-negative cats in a multicat...

Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV) is an RNA lentivirus in the same retrovirus family as Feline Leukemia Virus (FeLV) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) (Crawford et al., 2005). The virus can infect both domestic cats and wild cats such as cheetahs.

2015年7月16日 · Highly sensitive PCR assays, such as real-time PCR (qPCR), provide improved detection for use as an FIV confirmatory test in cats with a positive antibody test result. 1 In addition, molecular amplification of FIV genome and/or proviral DNA could be used to distinguish natural infection from vaccination. 12 However, these tests tend to be ...

2010年3月15日 · Infection of domestic cats with virulent strains of the feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) leads to an acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), similar to the pathogenesis induced in humans by infection with human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1). Thus, FIV is a highly relevant model for anti-HIV therapy and vaccine development.

2020年8月7日 · FIV中广泛存在着流固耦合（Fluid-Structure Interaction，FSI）现象，即结构在流体载荷下发生变形或运动，同时结构又对流场分布产生影响，流固二者相互作用相互影响。

In this article, we will explore the final stages of FIV in cats, including symptoms, treatment options, and what to expect during this difficult time. The final stages of FIV in cats can be heartbreaking for pet owners. As the virus progresses, cats may experience an array of symptoms that indicate their immune system is severely compromised.
