Isolation of Feline Leukemia Virus From a Leopard Cat Cell Line and Search for Retrovirus in Wild Felidae23

Abstract
A strain of feline leukemia virus (FeLV), subgroup A, was isolated in early subpassage of a testicular fibroblast culture obtained from a captive Asian leopard cat. Neither FeLV nor RD-114 virus was recovered from cultured tissues of 15 other animals, representing eight species of wild Felidae.
