Current thinking seems to be that the odds of a regressive infection resulting in FeLV-related disease is “unlikely”. This is according to the 2008 AAFP Retrovirus Guidelines. Focal infections where the virus is restricted to certain tissues are rare, and these infections also seem unlikely to result in FeLV-associated disease.
