confirmed positive FeLV cases should be retested after several months; this is in contrast to FIV, where a confirmed positive does not need to be retested, as an infected cat will remain infected for the rest of its life. Although the management of FeLV and FIV is essentially the same, there are key differences in prevention strategies related to the limitations of currently available vaccines and diagnostic tests. These differences should be taken into consideration when developing feline vaccination programs.
