In a nationwide study 6101 cats were tested for presence of feline leukemia virus (FeLV) antigen and for feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) antibodies utilizing enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). 21.8% of the German cat population may be FeLV- and/or FIV-positive. Of the animals tested, 13.4% were found to be FeLV carriers, while 8.4% showed evidence of FIV infection. Infection with both viruses was identified in 2.1% of the cats tested. Of the animals showing clinical symptoms, nearly one cat in three was found to be carrying either one or both of the viruses. Male cats were more likely to be infected then were females, similarly as were free-roaming cats, compared with confined cats; domestic cats, compared with purebred cats; and cats > 6 years old, compared with younger cats.
在一项全国性研究中，利用酶联免疫吸附测定（ELISA）对6101只猫进行了猫白血病病毒（FeLV）抗原和猫免疫缺陷病毒（FIV）抗体检测。德国猫群中21.8%可能为FeLV和/或FIV阳性。在检测的动物中，13.4%被发现是FeLV携带者，而8.4%有FIV感染迹象。在2.1%的受测猫中发现感染了两种病毒。在出现临床症状的动物中，近三分之一的猫被发现携带一种或两种病毒。雄性猫比雌性猫更容易感染，同样，与圈养猫相比，自由放养的猫更容易感染；与纯种猫相比，家猫更容易感染；与年轻猫相比，6岁以上的猫更容易感染。
