Feline leukemia virus (FeLV) is a retrovirus that represents one of the most common and important infectiousdiseases of cats worldwide and it is responsible for more deaths among cats than any other infectious diseases. Prevalence data are necessary to define prophylactic, management and therapeutic measures for stray, feral and ownedcats which are lacking in Bangladesh. The study was carried out to determine the prevalence of FeLV infection inMymensingh district of Bangladesh using RapiGEN® FeLV Ag Test Kit (RapiGEN® Inc., Republic of Korea), a rapidone-step immunochromatographic assay. Blood samples from total 130 cats (23 owned cats and 107 unowned cats)were collected and tested following the manufacturer’s instruction. An overall prevalence of FeLV infection was 1.54%(2/130). Prevalence was found 1.79% (2/112) on Day 0-up to one year aged cats (young) but no positive case wasfound in above 1 year (Adult) aged group. In male and female cats, the prevalence was 1.72% (1/58) and 1.39%(1/72), respectively. In un-owned cats the prevalence was 1.87%. Positive cases to FeLV were found only in clinicallysick cats. No significant relationship was found according to age, sex, ownership status and health status. To the bestof our knowledge this is the first report of the prevalence of FeLV infection in Bangladesh using RapiGEN® FeLVtest kits which is very much effective because it is easy to apply, less expensive and quick screening of such typeof infection.
