To the Editor: Dr. Levy's editorial on the potential transmissibility ofcatleukemiato man (N Engl J Med 290:513–514, 1974) did not make clear that almost allcatleukemiais actuallylymphoma.
About two-thirds of the natural cases of felineleukemia-lymphomaare assumed to be caused by the felineleukemiavirus (FeLV) because they occur incats, which harbor this agent, and FeLV will induce the disease under laboratory conditions.
Felineleukemiavirus is a common disease that affects about 2% ofcatsin the United States. It is spreadcat-to-catand leads to the destruction of thecat’s white blood cells and immune system. This. leaves them more susceptible to infection, cancer, and death.
