“…The prevalence of 12.32% for FIV and 5.80% for FeLV in Fortaleza-CE varied from the results found, through serological methods, in other cities of Brazil: 0.78% and 0.36% in São Paulo (Santos et al, 2013), 5.63% and 0.33% in Araçatuba-SP (Sobrinho et al, 2011) for FIV and FeLV, respectively, and 38.3% in Pelotas and Rio Grande-RS for FeLV (Meinerz et al, 2010). Felines with FIV and FeLV detected by PCR or nested PCR were 4.14% and 47.0% in Belo Horizonte (Teixeira et al, 2007;Coelho et al, 2011), respectively, and 15.70% for FIV in Pelotas -RS (Silva et al, 2014), and there was no presence of co-infection of these diseases in these studies. The discrepancy between the values found by the authors may reflect the methods used, since serological techniques show high specificity and sensitivity, with false negative results in cats regressively infected with FeLV and false positives for FIV due to the presence of maternal antibodies, especially in cats younger than six month-old (Hosie et al, 2009;Little et al, 2011).…”

“…Castration is a method that mainly reduces the vertical transmission mode (Levy et al, 2008). Most animals positive for FIV and FeLV were castrated (Jorge et al, 2011;Silva et al, 2014), contrary to a study carried out in 10 provinces of Canada (Little et al, 2009). Many of the clinic visits are from castrated animals, and many of these have not been tested prior to the surgical procedure and thus could be positive prior to castration.…”

“…This explains the variations of seroprevalence from 2.5 to 31.3% for FIV and from 2.3 to 30.4% for FeLV that have been found in studies from different parts of the world (Arjona et al, 2000;Levy et al, 2006;Bande et al, 2012). In Brazil, the seroprevalence ranges from 5.6 to 16.7% for FIV and from 0.33 to 32.5% for FeLV (Teixeira et al, 2007;Macieira et al, 2008;Sobrinho et al, 2011) and, additionally, the infection rates found using molecular tests have ranged from 2 to 15.7% for FIV and from 0.5 to 47.5% for FeLV (Coelho et al, 2011;Marçola, 2011;Silva et al, 2014).…”

“…No Brasil, pouco se conhece sobre a diversidade genética do FIV, porém já foi isolado e identificado o subtipo B (TEIXEIRA, 2010;SILVA et al, 2014), o qual apresenta baixa virulência (LARA et al, 2007).…”
