Abstract
Feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) is an important pathogen of domestic cats, which in some cases can lead to feline AIDS. FIV is believed to evolve during the course of infection as a result of the error-prone nature of reverse transcriptase and recombination between viral variants, but relatively little is known about this process in naturally occurring infection. Ultimately, it is unknown why some infected cats remain healthy while others progress rapidly to AIDS. To address this lack of knowledge, we examined sequential blood samples obtained during the course of natural FIV infection in a population of 44 domestic cats.
