A multivalent FeLV-infected feline vaccine composed of (1) a small but immunologically effective amount of inactivated feline leukemia virus; (2) a small but effective amount of an inactivated virus selected from the group consisting of Feline Rhinotracheitis Virus, Feline Calici Virus and Feline Panleukopenia Virus; and (3) a pharmaceutically acceptable immunologica adjuvant. Components (1) and (2) may be inactivated by any of the known techniques. The inactivated feline leukemia virus must be from subgroup A and is the Rickard isolate of the virus designated FeLV-AR1. This combination vaccine is effective in preventing Viremia, leukemia-associated syndromes, and deaths in cats caused by Feline Leukemia Virus, Feline Rhinotracheitis Virus, Feline Calici Virus and Feline Panleukemia Virus infections. |
