Feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) was isolated from a wild-caught Tsushima cat (Felis bengalensis euptilura), an endangered Japanese nondomestic subspecies of leopard cat (F. bengalensis). Phylogenetic analysis of the env gene sequences indicated that the FIV from the Tsushima cat belonged to a cluster of subtype D FIVs from domestic cats. FIVs from both the Tsushima cat and the domestic cat showed similar levels of replication and cytopathicity in lymphoid cell lines derived from these two species. The results indicated the occurrence of interspecies transmission of FIV from the domestic cat to the Tsushima cat in the wild.
猫免疫缺陷病毒（FIV）是从一只野生捕获的对马猫（豹猫指名亚种的濒危日本非家养亚种）中分离出来的。env基因序列的系统发育分析表明，对马猫的FIV属于家猫D亚型FIV的一个簇。对马猫和家猫的FIV在源自这两个物种的淋巴样细胞系中显示出相似水平的复制和细胞病变效应。结果表明，在野外存在FIV从家猫到家猫的种间传播。
