Feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) was first isolated in 1986 from a cat with an acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS)-like disease. This virus has many characteristics in common with human immunodeficiency virus which is an etiological agent of AIDS in human and is classified as a member of the lentivirus genus of the retrovirus family. Since the discovery of FIV, many researchers have studied the virus extensively from clinical, biological, and genetic aspects. In this review, the biological nature of FIV is summarized in four sections, i.e., morphological and biochemical properties of FIV biological properties of FIV, immunological aspects of FIV infection, and clinical aspects of FIV infection. This review includes some recent, unpublished data from our and other groups.
猫免疫缺陷病毒（FIV）于1986年首次从一只患有获得性免疫缺陷综合征（AIDS）样疾病的猫身上分离出来。这种病毒与人类免疫缺陷病毒有许多共同特征，人类免疫缺陷病毒是人类艾滋病的病原体，被归类为逆转录病毒科慢病毒属的成员。自FIV被发现以来，许多研究人员从临床、生物学和遗传学方面对该病毒进行了广泛研究。在这篇综述中，FIV的生物学特性分为四个部分进行总结，即FIV的形态和生化特性、FIV的生物学特性、FIV感染的免疫学方面以及FIV感染的临床方面。这篇综述包括了我们和其他团队最近一些未发表的数据。
