Epizootiology and management of feline leukemia virus in the Florida puma
PaperThis study described a feline leukemia virus (FeLV) outbreak in the endangered Florida panther, a small, inbred puma population. Through surveillance testing, the authors detected progressive FeLV inf…

Research overview: disease ecology of urban-adapted felids
OverviewFelids living at the edges of cities, such as bobcats and mountain lions in California, face a distinctive disease landscape shaped by human activity. This overview surveys the disease ecology of urba…
Research overview: feline leukemia virus spillover from domestic cats to wild felids
OverviewFeline leukemia virus is fundamentally a domestic-cat pathogen, yet it has crossed into endangered wild felids with lethal consequences. This overview surveys documented and suspected spillover events…
Research overview: free-roaming cat density and disease spillover risk to wildlife
OverviewThe risk that domestic-cat pathogens reach wild felids and other wildlife scales with the density and distribution of free-roaming cats, especially near protected areas. This overview surveys research…
Research overview: genomic source attribution in feline leukemia virus outbreaks
OverviewWhen feline leukemia virus appears in an endangered wild felid, tracing its origin is crucial for management. This overview surveys how molecular phylogenetics is used to attribute wild FeLV infection…
Research overview: questions around feline immunodeficiency virus vaccination and wild cats
OverviewVaccines against feline immunodeficiency virus exist for domestic cats but raise complex questions when considered for wild felids harboring their own endemic lentiviruses. This overview surveys the i…
Research overview: serological cross-reactivity challenges in felid disease diagnostics
OverviewInterpreting antibody tests in wild felids is complicated by cross-reactivity, where antibodies to one pathogen react with tests for a related agent, blurring diagnoses. This overview surveys the diag…
