Feline leukemia is a transmittable virus that can damage a catâs immune system. It can sometimes be hard to spot because not all cats with the disease will show symptoms. The virus can be in a catâs bodily fluids including saliva, urine, feces, and blood, and can be passed through direct contact or even grooming.
Majority of the leukemia cells caused by retroviruses in animals are lymphocytic leukemias. The T-cell leukemias are the most predominate in the lymphocytic leukemias. The first, most recent leukemia in non-human primates is the Gibbon Ape Leukemia Virus (GaLV), which caused T-cell leukemia when isolated.
