    Document: Viruses cause cancer in amphibians, fish, fowl, rodents, cats, cattle, and subhuman primates, and if humans were to be exempt from such a general biological phenomenon, it would be a circumstance unparalleled in the history of parasitism. In fact, evidence is accumulating that some human cancers are virally induced. For example, Burkitt's lymphoma, nasopharyngeal carcinoma, cervical cancer, and Kaposi's sarcoma are thought to be caused by herpesviruses, which are able to remain latent in the host for many years [6] . Feline leukemia virus (FeLV) is an exogenous retrovirus, belonging to the genus Gammaretrovirus, which infects domestic cats and, sporadically, wild cats as well [7, 8] . FeLV causes a wide range of proliferative diseases in cats, including lymphoid and myeloid leukemia [9] .
