How is Feline Leukemia virus primarily spread?

Feline Leukemia Virus (FeLV) is primarily spread through direct contact with infected bodily fluids, particularly saliva and, to a lesser extent, feces. This virus is transmitted when an uninfected cat comes into close contact with an infected cat, especially in social or communal living situations. Cats that groom each other, for instance, can easily share saliva. FeLV is not airborne, meaning it cannot spread through the air, nor is it commonly transmitted through urine or bites, although bites can potentially transmit the virus in certain situations. Understanding this transmission route is crucial for prevention and control of FeLV in feline populations.
