Abstract

Feline leukemia (leukosis, lymphosarcomatosis) is now known to be caused by a virus (Jarrett et al. 1964). The feline leukemia virus antigen has been demonstrated in salivary glands of leukemic cats (Hardy et al. 1969, 1970) and according to Gardner (1971) the C-type virus particles will replicate in the salivary glands of leukotic cats.
