Abstract
Bu çalışmanın amacı, Aydın ilinde yaşan kedilerde kedi lösemi virusu (FeLV) ve kedi immun yetmezlik virusu (FIV)
varlığının belirlenmesidir. Çalışmanın materyalini; tedavi, kontrol, kastrasyon, kısırlaştırma, anti-paraziter uygulama ve
aşı gibi çeşitli sebeplerle Aydın’daki özel bir kliniğe başvuran yaşları 6 aylık ve üzeri olan farklı ırk [Sfenks (2), British
Shorthair (12), Scottish Fold (5), Tekir (68), İran kedisi (3), Himalayan (3), Siyam (3), Chincila (1), Bombay (1), Russian
Blue (1), Van kedisi (1)] ve cinsiyetteki (E= 51, D= 49) rastgele seçilen 100 kediden toplanan kan örnekleri oluşturdu.
Çalışmaya dahil edilen kedilerin klinik muayeneleri yapılarak, alınan kan örneklerinde hemogram ölçümleri ile FIV anti-
koru ve FeLV antijeni yönünden hızlı tanı testi [Bionote® , Anigen Rapid (FIV Ab/FeLV Ag), Güney Kore] yapıldı. Örnek
alınan kedilerin üçünde (%3) FIV antikorunun pozitif, FeLV Ag (antijen) yönünden ise hepsinin negatif olduğu belirlendi.
FIV pozitif bulunan üç kediden üçünün de (%100) dişi, ikisinin Scottish Fold (4 ve 1.5 yaş) ve birinin Tekir (3 yaş) oldu-
ğu kaydedildi. Scottish Fold kedilerde herhangi bir klinik semptom gözlenmezken, birinin dışarı çıktığı ve FeLV’ye karşı
aşılanmış olduğu belirlendi. FIV pozitif belirlenen tekir kedinin klinik muayenesinde aralıklı kusmalarının olduğu ve dışa-
rıya çıktığı kaydedildi. FIV pozitif kedilerin hematolojik değerleri incelendiğinde bir kedinin kan değerlerinin hafif dehid-
rasyon dışında referans değerlerde olduğu gözlenirken, birinde lökopeni ile hafif dehidrasyon ve birinde ise lökositozis,
lenfositozis ve trompositozis belirlendi. Sonuç olarak, Aydın ilindeki kedilerde %3 oranında FIV pozitiflik belirlenirken
FeLV antijen görülme oranı %0 olarak belirlendi. FIV pozitif kedilerin klinik ve hematoloji bulgularının değişkenlik gös-
terdiği kaydedildi.

Abstract
The purpose of this work is to determine of FeLV and FIV infections in cats, living in the province of Aydın.
The blood samples taken from cats, six months and older aged and different breeds [Sphynx (2) British Shorthair (12)
Scottish Fold (5) Tabby (68) Persian (3) Himalayan Cat (3) Siamese (3) Chinchilla (1) Bombay Cat (1) Russian Blue (1)
Van Cat (1)] and sexes (E= 51, D= 49), brought for the purpose treatment, control, castration, overiohsyterectomi, anti-
paraziter treatment and vaccination to a special clinic in Aydın are used as the materials of this study. The hemogram
examinations and rapid diagnostic test for FIV antibodies and FeLV antigens [Bionote®, Anigen Rapid (FIV Ab/FeLV
Ag), South Korea] were performed in blood samples taken after clinical examinations of cats. It was determined that
three (3%) of the cats tested positive for FIV antibodies, and all results to FeLV AG (antigen) were found to be negati-
ve. The three cats with FIV positive were female, two of them recorded as Scottish Folds (4 and 1.5 aged respectively)
and the other as Tekir (3 years old). While no clinical symptoms were observed in as Scottish Fold cats, it was determi-
ned that one of them went outside and vaccinated aganist FeLV. In the clinical examination of the FIV positive Tekir cat
were noted to intermittent vomiting and recored to went outside. When the hematological values of FIV-positive cats
were examined, one of the cats showed signs of minor dehydration but was within the reference range in all other as-
pects, In another cat, minor dehydration and leukopenia were observed, and in yet another leukocytosis, lymphocyte
and thrombocytosis were observed. In conclusion, while FIV positivity was determined at a rate od 3% in cats in Aydın
province, the FeLV antigen rate was found to be 0%. The clinical and hematological findings of FIV positive cats were
noted to variable.
