Feline leukaemia virus subgroup A (FeLV-A) is transmitted among cats, and FeLV subgroups are frequently generated de novo. We investigated the frequency of detection of subgroups using interference assays in 50 cases. FeLV-A infection alone was detected in 38% of cases, whereas co-infection with both FeLV-A and FeLV-B was observed in 62% of cases. No cases of FeLV-B infection alone were observed. Cases of co-infection with FeLV-A and FeLV-B showed a higher prevalence than cases of FeLV-A infection alone. The X region containing FeLV was discovered in two new cases. This study may elucidate the mechanism underlying FeLV-B-induced diseases.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
