Investigations into disease associations with feline immunodeficiency virus (<scp>FIV</scp>) infection in lions (<i>Panthera leo</i>) in Australia: a case–control study
Few differences were found between case and control groups, suggesting that FIV-infected lions did not experience clinicopathological changes that predisposed them to future disease compared with FIV-uninfected lions. Further research will help to determine whether these results are indicative of a general absence of FIV-associated disease in captive lions, or the result of nonpathogenic FIV<sub>Ple</sub> subtype(s) present in Australia.
