    Area of Science:

    • Veterinary Pathology
    • Oncology
    • Virology

    Background:

    • Feline leukaemia virus (FeLV) is an oncogenic retrovirus that affects domestic cats.
    • FeLV infection can lead to various clinical manifestations, including immunosuppression and neoplasia.

    Observation:

    • A cat from Cape Town presented with a history of chronic upper respiratory infection and progressive emaciation.
    • The cat was euthanized due to its deteriorating condition.

    Findings:

    • Necropsy and histopathological examinations revealed lymphosarcoma in the affected cat.
    • Feline leukaemia virus (FeLV) antigen was detected in the cat, strongly suggesting a causal link to the lymphosarcoma.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights the potential for FeLV to induce lymphosarcoma in domestic cats.
