Özet

In this study, strains of feline immunodeficiency virus (Fly), designated TR-D, TR-Mo and TR-Mi, isolated from three cats in Turkey, were characterized. PCR products (859 bp) from the envelope (env) gene region were amplified and sequenced, and possible geographical differences in the env gene region of Turkish FIV strains are discussed. Phylogenetic analysis of two strains showed that FIV subtype B was present in Turkey. Phylogenetic analysis showed that one new Turkish FIV strain occupies a separate branch from known clusters (subtypes A to E) from the USA, Canada, Europe and Japan.
