Feline lymphoma associated with feline leukemia virus (FeLV) and feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) infections in Brazil- Systematic review.

ABSTRACT: Lymphoma is the most common neoplasia in cats and is frequently linked with concurrent retroviral infections. Despite preventive strategies, feline leukemia virus (FeLV) and feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) remain endemic in many parts of the world, with FeLV significantly shortening the lifespan of infected cats. In Brazil and other low-income countries, the incidence of FeLV and FIV remains high. However, the distribution of these retroviruses across South America is still unclear, and their correlation with the anatomical and clinical features of feline lymphoma remains poorly understood. Gaining a deeper understanding of these associations could lead to more effective disease control strategies and better-defined chemotherapy protocols. In this study, we examined the geographical di
