2020年4月至2021年8月间进行了一项横断性研究。在黎巴嫩北部和黎巴嫩山区不同的诊所中，从260只家猫中收集了血样，目的是确定猫免疫缺陷病毒（FIV）和猫白血病病毒（FeLV）的血清流行率。报告的血清流行率分别为18.84%（95% CI 0.14-0.24）和13.84%（95% CI 0.09-0.18）。 FIV血清阳性与年龄、健康和绝育状态、淋巴瘤、乏力和呕吐有关。此外，男性、绝育状态、淋巴瘤、贫血、乏力和呕吐与FeLV血清阳性有显著关联。黎巴嫩的这些首次数据强调了实施预防计划以应对与FIV和FeLV相关的猫的发病率和死亡率的需要。 版权所有©2022 Elsevier Ltd. 。保留所有权利。

A cross-sectional study was carried out between April 2020 and August 2021. Blood samples were collected from 260 household cats recruited in different clinics in North and Mount Lebanon, with the aim of determining the seroprevalence of feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) and feline leukaemia virus (FeLV). The seroprevalence reported reached 18.84% (95% CI 0.14-0.24) and 13.84% (95% CI 0.09-0.18) for FIV and FeLV, respectively. FIV seropositivity was associated with a younger age, health and neuter status, lymphoma, lethargy, and vomiting. Furthermore, male sex, neuter status, lymphoma, anaemia, lethargy, and vomiting were significantly associated with FeLV seropositivity. This first data from Lebanon emphasizes the need for implementing preventive programmes to cope with FIV- and FeLV-associated morbidity and mortality among cats.Copyright © 2022 Elsevier Ltd.
