| description | Feline Immunodeficiency virus (FIV) is among the most common infectious diseases diagnosed in cats. In this study, 55
client-owned cats presented to the University
Veterinary Hospital,
Universiti Putra Malaysia (UVH-UPM) were sampled. Inclusion
criteria were semi-roamer and outdoor cats aged more than 6 mont
hs old. Blood samples were collected for serological testing us
ing
commercial immunochromatographic test kits and haematological an
alysis. Of the 55 cats tested, 13 cats (23.6%) tested positive
for
FIV antibodies. There was a significant association (P<0.05) between neuter and health status to FIV seropositivity. FIV infect
ions
were more likely occured in intact cats compared to neutered cat
s, and in sick cats compared to healthy cats. Erythrocytes,
hemoglobin and packed cell volume (PCV) were significantly redu
ced (P<0.05) in FIV cats compared to FIV-seronegative cats,
however these parameters were within the normal ranges |
