Study Notes

FIV has a primary stage lasting 6-8 weeks with rapid virus replication.
The virus can be detected in saliva within 3 weeks of infection.
Immune response comprising CD8+ and antibodies can be detected from 2-6 weeks.
Clinical signs such as fever, neutropenia, and lymphadenopathy are rare in natural exposure.
Asymptomatic stage lasts for years and immune dysfunction begins early.
Mild or intermittent clinical signs can be seen during the asymptomatic stage.
Lymphocytes (T-helper cells) decline progressively in number during the asymptomatic stage.
Immune hyperactivation and suppression contribute to overall immune dysfunction in FIV infection.
Second-stage FIV is characterized by profound lymphoid depletion, escape of virus from immunological control, and terminal disease.
The term "feline AIDS" is not preferred as criteria to define AIDS in cats are not determined.
