Retroviral infections are particularly important in cats, which are commonly infected with feline leukemia virus and feline immunodeficiency virus. This article describes the biology of these viruses and explores current issues regarding vaccination and diagnosis. The seeming lack of a recognized retrovirus infection in dogs is speculated on, and current and potential future therapies are discussed.
逆转录病毒感染在猫中尤为重要，猫通常会感染猫白血病病毒和猫免疫缺陷病毒。本文描述了这些病毒的生物学特性，并探讨了有关疫苗接种和诊断的当前问题。文中推测了犬类中似乎缺乏公认的逆转录病毒感染的情况，并讨论了当前和未来可能的治疗方法。
