http://www.vet.cornell.edu/fhc/resources/brochure/felv.html

Extractions: Feline Leukemia Virus (FeLV) What is feline leukemia virus? Feline leukemia virus (FeLV), a retrovirus, so named because of the way it behaves within infected cells. All retroviruses, including feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), produce an enzyme, reverse transcriptase, which permits them to insert copies of their own genetic material into that of the cells they have infected. Although related, FeLV and FIV differ in many ways, including their shape: FeLV is more circular while FIV is elongated. The two viruses are also quite different genetically, and their protein consituents are dissimlar in size and composition. Although many of the diseases caused by FeLV and FIV are similar, the specific ways in which they are caused differs. How common is the infection? How is FeLV spread? What cats are at greatest risk of infection? Cats at greatest risk of infection are those that may be exposed to infected cats, either via prolonged close contact or through bite wounds. Such cats include: Cats living with infected cats or with cats of unknown infection status Cats allowed outdoors unsupervised, where they may be bitten by an infected cat

Extractions: Home What is CLL Donating Projects ... Memorial The Foundation has as its main objective to fund research directed to finding a cure for Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL). To this objective we seek donations from individuals and organizations, disseminate information to increase public awareness of this illness and influence government policy towards a higher level of funding of research on this largely ignored form of leukemia. Hayden Burns, Esq., Director William D. Hoops, Esq. President and Director Memorial contributions now are being accepted in the name of William D. Hoops, Founder and President of The Chronic Lymphocyctic Leukemia (CLL) Foundation , who died in Houston on Sept.5, 2004, from complications of the disease following a spirited five-year battle.

Extractions: Acute leukemia is a disease of the leukocytes and their precursors. It is characterized by the appearance of immature, abnormal cells in the bone marrow and peripheral blood and frequently in the liver, spleen, lymph nodes, and other parenchymatous organs. The clinical picture is marked by the effects of anemia, which is usually severe (fatigue, malaise), an absence of functioning granulocytes (proneness to infection and inflammation), and thrombocytopenia (hemorrhagic diathesis). The spleen and liver usually are moderately enlarged, while enlarged lymph nodes are seen mainly in the pediatric lymphoblastic leukemias. Fever and a very high ESR complete the picture. Leukocyte counts vary greatly in the acute leukemias. About one-fourth to one-third of cases begin with a low white blood count ( sub- or aleukemic leukemia), while about half show some degree of leukocytosis. Mature granulocytes may still be found in the peripheral blood in addition to abnormal forms. The coexistence of immature and mature cell forms is termed "hiatus leucaemicus." The leukocytopenic forms are the most difficult to differentiate from aplastic anemias, pancytopenias, and the myelodysplastic syndromes. Bone marrow aspiration is usually necessary to establish a diagnosis. Aspirated marrow is found to be permeated by abnormal cells (
