Here are a few references to get you started:
Hardy WD Jr, Old LJ, Hess PW, et al: Horizontal transmission of feline
leukaemia virus. Nature 244:266, 1973
These two explain how subgroups are determined:
Sarma PS, Log T: Subgroup classification of feline leukemia and sarcoma
viruses by viral interference
and neutralization tests. Virology 54:160, 1973
Jarrett 0, Hardy WD Jr, Golder MC, Hay D: The frequency of occurrence of
feline leukaernia virus
subgroups in cats. Int J Cancer 21:334, 1978
These explain how subgroup C evolves:
Brojatsch J, Kristal BS, Viglianti GA, et al: Feline leukemia virus subgroup
C phenotype evolves
through distinct alterations near the N-terminus of the envelope surface
glycoprotein.
Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 89:8457, 1992
Benveniste RE, Sherr CJ, Todaro GJ: Evolution of type C viral genes: Origin
of feline leukemia virus. Science 190:886, 1975
Benveniste RE, Todaro GJ: Multiple divergent cop� ies of endogenous C-type
virogenes in rnammalian
cells. Nature 252:170, 1974
Benveniste RE, Todaro GJ: Evolution of C-type viral genes: Inheritance of
exogenously acquired viral
genes. Nature 252:456, 1974
Todaro GJ, Benveniste RE, Sherwin SA, Sherr EJ: MAC-1, a new genetically
transmitted type C virus of primates: Low frequency activation from
stumptail monkey cell cultures. Cell 3:775, 1978

If you need more let me know. I have about 1,600.
