The first feline immunodeficiency virus from Siberian tigers (Panthera tigris altaica) in northeastern China

Feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) naturally infects more than 20 kinds of felines and poses a serious threat to their health, but there has been little research on FIV in tigers. In this study, 320 captive Siberian tigers (225 from Harbin, 55 from Hailin, and 40 from Shenyang) were tested for FIV by nested PCR, and three Siberian tigers from Hailin were FIV positive (5.45%). From these three animals, FIV gene fragments, gag-p26 (444 nt) from samples HD094 and HD1786 and pol-RT (576 nt) and pol-RNase (730 nt) from sample HD631, were sequenced and found to share more than 99% sequence identity with FIV subtype A from domestic cats. This is the first time FIV has been detected in Siberian tigers in China.
