Abstract

The simian and feline immunodeficiency lentivirus infections of captive macaques and domestic cats (SIV and FIV, respectively) are excellent models for HIV infection of humans (Gardner and Luciw 1989). Among the animal lentiviruses, SIV is the most closely related to HIV and both SIV and FIV models manifest a disease pattern and viral encephalopathy with many similarities to that observed in HIV infection of humans (Lackner et al. 1991a; Johnson et al. 1988). As in HIV infection of humans, infection of the CNS with SIV and FIV occurs in virtually all infected individuals, many of whom develop clinical and pathologic evidence of the associated lentivirus encephalopathy.
