A Comparative Study on the Impact of FIV and FeLV Infection on the Ocular Microbiota in Persian Cats: Insights From Co‐Infection and Single Infections
The co-infection of FIV and FeLV significantly alters the conjunctival microbiome, promoting the colonization of specific opportunistic pathogens. These findings may influence the clinical management of cats with these viral infections, especially in combination, and may create a more favorable environment for the growth of certain bacteria and fungi in the conjunctiva.
