Increased susceptibility to feline leukemia virus infection in cats exposed to methylnitrosourea. 1978

J P Schaller, and L E Mathes, and E A Hoover, and A Koestner, and R G Olsen

Exposure of adult specific-pathogen-free cats to methylnitrosourea resulted in increased susceptibility to infection by feline leukemia virus. A greater proportion of cats exposed to methylnitrosourea and feline leukemia virus (69%) became persistently viremic than those exposed to feline leukemia virus alone (17%). Segmented neutrophils were reduced by 90 to 99% within 3 days following exposure to methylnitrosourea, (15 to 20 mg/kg) whereas the effects on lymphocytes and erythrocytes, although less obvious, were also detected.

D002415 Cats The domestic cat, Felis catus, of the carnivore family FELIDAE, comprising over 30 different breeds. The domestic cat is descended primarily from the wild cat of Africa and extreme southwestern Asia. Though probably present in towns in Palestine as long ago as 7000 years, actual domestication occurred in Egypt about 4000 years ago.
