Thank you for posting the article, but now that verifys my concern about shared dishes and litter boxes. I have been told different things, one is the virus can not live outside the body for a long period of time (15 minutes) and weakens as time passes, and I am also told, in this article too that shared dished and grooming can is the most common way of transmission. I am confused, can anyone help me muddle through the facts.

Lisa and all who are interested,
I wrote to Dr. Susan about the possibility of her writing an article for us and/or the website about feline leukemia and I got this response today:
Hi Anne:
I wrote an article some time ago with basic information about FeLV:
http://www.winnfelinehealth.org/health/FeLV.html
But I just don't have time to update it or write anything more indepth due to my travel and lecture commitments right now.
You are certainly welcome to continue to forward questions from the list and I will do my best to answer them.
