Pathological Introduction
Feline immunodeficiency disease is a viral infectious disease caused by the feline immunodeficiency virus (Feline Immunodeficiency Virus, FIV), characterized by immunodeficiency, inflammation of the respiratory and digestive systems, dysfunction of the immune and nervous systems, and susceptibility to secondary infections.
This disease is widespread and more common in middle-aged and elderly cats. Due to the biological characteristics of the pathogen and the similarity of symptoms in infected cats to human AIDS, it is also called Feline AIDS (FAIDS). Initially, it was called Feline T-cell lymphotropic virus because FIV can replicate and damage T-cells.
