This file is for the CIV information for the IALA Homepage ---
WHEN & IF --- a canine lentivirus is identified.
The first component of this file will be a summary of
information about CIV written in more-or-less lay terminology.
The second component will be a more defined description of the
effects of CIV on dogs - information which has been produced by
experimental and field-type investigations. The third component
will be a set of published literature citations on various
aspects of the disease process.
Part one: Canine Immunodeficiency Virus has not been identified
as a specific lentivirus. There are several reports of isolation
of certain viruses, called retroviruses, which may be in the
lentivirus family. There is a possible association between the
retroviruses which have been isolated and the development of
disease processes in the dogs which were infected.
More will be added later.
Part two:
Part Three: Selected references on Canine Immunodeficiency Virus.
