"Shedding" means infective to other cats; shedding virus in the saliva,
blood, urine... It dosen't mean "shed" as in "getting rid of". An ELISA+ does not mean the cats are shedding virus (infective to susceptible cats) ; it only means FeLV viral antigen (P-27) is circulating in the blood. IOW, an ELISA + indicates FeLV antigenemia but not necessarily viremia. OTOH, an IFA+ indicates the presence of virus in WBC and platelets or bone marrow cells, and viral shedding (infective). Gotcha. I was a little confused on the "shedding". I'll keep you posted on these little guys. -- -Kelly kelly at farringtons dot net www.kelltek.com Check out www.snittens.com
