This is quite some list! Thank you for sharing some of it. Did you pull up these references online or did you go to library that might have medical/veterinary journals in stock? To be honest with you, I've read some tech journals online & I'm afraid that oftentimes the medical terminology is beyond me. Are you in the medical field? I'm assuming you have a FELV+ cat...Is this why you started such exhaustive research?

Here are a few references to get you started: Hardy WD Jr, Old LJ, Hess PW, et al: Horizontal transmission of feline leukaemia virus.
