Host Response Host Response

Cat Response

  • Challenge Protocol: Oronasal FeLV challenge
  • Efficacy: The vaccine, (EURIFEL FeLV; Merial) that expresses the FeLV env and gag protective genes, is effective against any oronasal FeLV challenge. The protection was shown to be solid against an oronasal challenge one year after the initial vaccination, and was effective against a very severe 'in-contact' challenge (Poulet et al., 2003).

Cat Response

  • Vaccine Immune Response Type: VO_0000286
  • Efficacy: The vaccine consisting of FeLV DNA with the IL-12 and IL-18 genes conferred significant immunity, protecting completely against transient and persistent viremia, and in five of six kittens protecting against latent infection (Hanlon et al., 2001).
