“…1 The prevalence of the disease is currently unknown in Sri Lanka as cage-side test kits for the viruses were not available until recently. 2 Most FIV infections occur after a bite wound from an infected cat, presumably through the inoculation of virus or virus-infected cells, thus more commonly affects free-ranging intact male cats, which are more likely to be involved in fights. The major immunological abnormalities observed in FIV-infected cats included a profound decline in the absolute number of the CD4+ T cells that caused the inversion of the CD4+/CD8+ T cell ratio and increased susceptibility to opportunistic infections and various clinic-pathological conditions.…”
