description With the purpose of evaluating the prevalence of feline viral leukemia in domestic cats in Santo Domingo city, Ecuador, an investigation was carried out on 47 cats older than 6 months, healthy or with pathological signs, treated at the SERVET Veterinary Clinic. A 0.75 ml blood sample was extracted from the cephalic vein of each patient for diagnosis, through molecular tests, which were performed from the plasma obtained by centrifugation. For the determination, a Bioer LineGene 9600 Plus thermocycler was used, the general prevalence of the disease was calculated and the risk factors were determined through contingency analysis; in addition, the Chi-square and Fisher tests were used, according to the nature of the data. The results show that the prevalence of FeLV in Santo Domingo city was 68.1%; because access to the main risk factor was represented by age, with young cats being the most susceptible. Access to open spaces and the lack of adequate health care implies high risks of infection. 68.8% of the cats that were positive live in open houses, 93.8% did not have the application of FeLV vaccines and 62.5% do not deworm regularly. Gender, reproductive fertility status, application of the triple vaccine, breed purity, type of diet, or living with other animals do not affect FeLv infection as risk factors.

Para la determinación se utilizó un equipo termociclador Bioer LineGene 9600 Plus, se calculó la prevalencia general de la enfermedad y se determinó los factores de riesgo a través del análisis de contingencia; además se utilizó las pruebas de Chi-cuadrado y de Fisher, de acuerdo a la naturaleza de los datos. Los resultados demuestran que la prevalencia de FeLV en la ciudad de Santo Domingo fue de 68,1%; debido a que el acceso a el principal factor de riesgo estuvo representado por la edad, siendo los gatos jóvenes los más susceptibles. El acceso a espacios abiertos y la carencia de una adecuada atención sanitaria implica altos riesgos de infección. El 68,8% de los gatos que resultaron positivos vive en casas abiertas, el 93,8% no contaban con la aplicación de vacunas FeLV y el 62,5 % no se desparasitan regularmente. El género, la condición de fertilidad reproductiva, la aplicación de la vacuna triple, la pureza de la raza, el tipo de alimentación ni la convivencia con otros animales, no inciden como factores de riesgo en el contagio de la FeLv.Escuela Superior Politécnica Agropecuaria de Manabí Manuel Félix López2023-06-02info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdftext/htmlapplication/ziphttps://revistasespam.espam.edu.ec/index.php/Revista_ESPAMCIENCIA/article/view/35510.51260/revista_espamciencia.v14i1.355Revista ESPAMCIENCIA; Vol. 14 Núm. 1 (2023): REVISTA ESPAMCIENCIA 2023; 8-141390-8103reponame:Revistas Escuela Superior Politécnica Agropecuaria de Manabíinstname:Escuela Superior Politécnica Agropecuaria de Manabíinstacron:ESPAMspahttps://revistasespam.espam.edu.ec/index.php/Revista_ESPAMCIENCIA/article/view/355/327https://revistasespam.espam.edu.ec/index.php/Revista_ESPAMCIENCIA/article/view/355/402https://revistasespam.espam.edu.ec/index.php/Revista_ESPAMCIENCIA/article/view/355/505info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2026-03-31T23:55:40Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/355Institucionalhttp://revistasespam.espam.edu.ec/Universidad públicahttp://www.espam.edu.ec/http://revistasespam.espam.edu.ec/oai.Ecuador.1390-81031390-597Xopendoar:02026-08-09T05:26:34.987282Revistas Escuela Superior Politécnica Agropecuaria de Manabí - Escuela Superior Politécnica Agropecuaria de Manabítrue
