WHY USE THE SALIVA TEST FOR FELINE LEUKEMIA DIAGNOSIS?
Diagnostic tests can detect all three types of feline leukemia virus but can't distinguish between them. Blood Elisa FELV tests detect antigens to FELV but does not indicate whether the virus has incased itself into the bone marrow and white blood cells. The cat's immune system may still reject the virus leaving it negative in 1-2 months. The saliva Elisa will be positive if the virus has progressed to invade the tissues and indicates that the cat is now shedding the virus. ELISA detects antigens in the saliva, 1-2 months after exposure, which is 2-4 weeks later than it detects antigens in the blood. Blood ELISA can detect FELV antigens early in the course of the infection but does not indicate that it has invaded the bone marrow. Both the saliva ELISA and IFA indicate the virus has progressed to a more infective stage in the salivary glands or tissues, which is not true with blood testing. Blood ELISA can cause more positive results that soon will be negative when the pet's immune system clears the body of the virus. Saliva and tear tests are used to screen a large number of cats, and to test cats from which it is difficult to obtain sufficient blood samples.
Kittens that test positive by ELISA should be re-tested when they're older than 16 weeks. Uninfected kittens can test positive, if they are carrying their mother's antigens to FELV . By 16 weeks of age, the mother's antigens should be out of their system. A cat may test positive by ELISA, but several weeks later, test negative. This means that the cat has developed immunity, and will likely never show any sign of infection. This is more likely to occur from the blood ELISA that the saliva. It also can occur in cats that have (latent) form of leukemia in which the virus has invaded the tissues but no longer produces an immune response. Cats that test positive by IFA or saliva ELISA are more likely to be positive for life. Negative results do not necessarily mean that the cat is uninfected. Negative test results can occur in infected cats that have been exposed only recently to the virus and aren't producing antibodies yet or in the latent forms.
These tests are screening tests. If positive you must retest in 7-42 days. If the test is negative in an adult retest in 6-12 months. If your cat continues to demonstrate positive results make an appointment with your veterinarian.
The Saliva:
• Feline leukemia Virus Antigen Test is a non-invasive test accurate enough for general FELV testing, pre-vaccination and health screens. It is ideal for detection of viral shedding or to confirm blood Elisa positives.
• Saliva samples will not be positive until the virus is amplified in the bone marrow, released into circulation and has infected epithelial tissues. This could take 1-2 months following exposure and would indicate persistent infection Synbiotic Corp.
Comparison of the accuracy of saliva/tear samples with serum/plasma samples for detecting feline leukemia virus in cats.
Several studies gave been done to compare the use of serum/plasma samples with tear/saliva samples for detecting FELV in cats via the ELISA methodology.
The results are as follows:
“The overall accuracy of tears and saliva as compared with serum and plasma samples is 95.0% and 97.5 respectively."
University of Georgia Veterinary Diagnostic and Investigational Laboratory. College of Veterinary Medicine, Tifton, GA 31293
“The overall accuracy of the saliva ELISA reactive to the serum ELISA was 97.9%.” “Specificity of the saliva test (99.2%) based on serum ELISA, the simplicity of the test procedure, and the speed of the results support its use as a screening procedure in clinical practices.”
Mark G. Lewis, et. Al
“Saliva as a Source of Feline Leukemia virus Antigen for Diagnosis of Disease.”
Journal of Clinical Microbiology
“Results from 95.5% of the samples were concordant…”
“If all cats in one hosehold test saliva negative, the presence of FELV in the cattery is not very likely.” “Based on the saliva and serum results for cats living in 92 multi-cat household, it was concluded that saliva may be a useful secretion for FELV screening.”

A Feline Leukemia test that is a great screening test for use at your home. Quick. Easy. Humane-no pain from a blood test. Convenient. No work. No car rides and stress at the veterinarians office. HUGE SAVINGS*. The same accurate Elisa test used by veterinarians but costs much less!
Feline Leukemia is a severe threat to all cats. Research indicates 1 out of 10 cats have or will get Leukemia. FELINE LEUKEMIA SALIVA TESTING IS NOW WELL DOCUMENTED AS A RELIABLE, ACCURATE MEANS OF SCREENING CATS FOR FELINE LEUKEMIA (numerous university and research findings are available on request). Saliva testing can provide more information than blood. Saliva tests indicate a more chronic state and that the disease has invaded the tissues (blood does not). Also a saliva positive test results indicates shedding of the virus (blood does not).
FELINE LEUKEMIA TEST KIT'S obvious advantages:
● IN HOME TESTING - collect the sample at home; mail to our veterinary lab-we perform the same ELISA test.
● HUGE SAVINGS - studies show veterinary fees range from $42.00 to 73.00/cat. Our fee is much less. In addition, you don't have to pay an exam fee of $40.00 - 65.00.
● HIGHLY RELIABLE TEST by a Veterinary lab for assured accuracy. Veterinarians use the same Elisa test.
● HIGHLY ACCURATE -Saliva Elisa tests have a high correlation of negative results to serum Elisa tests, nearly 100%. (College of Vet. Med. Study)
● Saliva Elisa tests indicates that the virus has invaded the tissues of your cat-chronic infection. (Blood does not).
● Saliva Elisa positive tests indicates that a cat is shedding the virus.(Blood does not specifically indicate this).
● THE RESULTS MAY BE MORE ACCURATE THAN BLOOD TESTS depending on the stage of FeLV. (*Johnson - AVMA). More importantly, a positive result indicates the actual presence of the virus in the cat's tissues and bone marrow, rather than a passive exposure. It also indicates those cats that are shedding the virus!!!
● ASSURED WRITTEN RESULTS and their interpretation by e-mail, fax, or mail.
● FAST RESULTS -tests are performed the day of receipt. Results are sent the following business day.
● EASY TO DO. NON-INVASIVE - collect a drop of saliva.
● NO PAIN - NO STRESS - avoid the trip. This test avoids all of the problems inherent with blood.
● VOLUME USERS/BREEDERS - use on all your kittens to reassure the new owner of your professionalism, then sell to your clients. Extra income - sell these to other breeders/pet stores. Pre-test new cats before allowing them into your cattery. Easily and affordably test your litters. Catteries can sell the kits for retesting in 3-12 months.
A reminder: NO FELV test is 100% accurate. The saliva test has an excellent correlation on negative cats (nearly 100% correlation. Blood and saliva tests have more than 95% specificity (positives). Inaccuracies do occur on nearly all Elisa tests, which is why any positive cat should be re-tested. These are screening tests. The definitive test is an IFA that costs $99-180.00 plus an office visit fee.
BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY, UNLIKE BLOOD TESTS, YOU WILL YOU KNOW IF YOUR CAT HAS FELV AND IS SHEDDING THE VIRUS.
What is Feline Leukemia and how common is it? Feline Leukemia (FELV) is an extremely common disease of cats which effects up to 13% of all cats. It is fatal unless detected early. Treatments and vaccines are now available, increasing the need for testing.
Why should my cat be tested?
1. FELV is fatal. Death occurs within months or up to 4 years later. Cats with FELV endure many other diseases before they die since FELV (like AIDS) lowers their resistance.
2. Clinical signs of FELV can be treated. Treatment can lead to remission if you detect the virus soon enough. No guarantee of results, though.
3. Out test indicates if your cat is contagious and shedding the virus. (Blood tests don't).
4. Our test can indicate whether your cat actually has FELV rather than a passive exposure. (Blood tests don't.) Our test can indicate if the virus has invaded the tissues or bone marrow.
5. Our test allows your cat to stay home; you collect the sample and mail it to our lab.
How accurate is the saliva test? The ELISA Saliva/Tear Test has been available through our lab for 16 years. Numerous research studies prove this test to be highly accurate on negative cats with a greater than 99% correlation with the blood test. Best yet, the saliva test have high percent correlation with the IFA (the ultimate FELV test, but a test that costs $99 - $180 at most veterinary hospitals). All FELV tests have inaccuracies, however veterinary research indicates saliva/tear FELV tests have a specificity of 97.1% vs. plasma specificity of 99.9%, which means you get the same test results as you would from a vet.
Why should I use your test? All the pet owner does is collect the sample at home, then mail the sample to our Vet. Lab. Our Lab produces the same reliable test results that any veterinarian produces, but the pet owners save a trip and money. We are the oldest lab doing this test. Veterinarians use our products. We provide rapid reliable results (tests are within 24 hrs of receipt). Results are emailed, faxed or mailed for the fastest return possible. Pet owners avoid the office call, which saves them at least $35-50.
My cat is already vaccinated, should I use this test? Everyone who has a sick cat should test it for FELV; 1 out of every 3 cats with any illness has FELV. Breeders can test every kitten before sale. Every vaccinated cat should be tested periodically (every 1-3 years) since the vaccine is only 50 - 91% effective. More and more cat owners are testing yearly instead of vaccinating. If you or your friend’s cat has FELV, you should test all of your cats.
My cat is never outside; does it need to be tested? Yes! Few cats are truly inside, most occasionally get outside. All cats are exposed to outside elements when doors/windows are open. Inside cats have less immunity and when exposed are more likely to get FELV or develop a more serious and debilitating clinical disease. In addition their ability to recover is less, so test your cats now.
Several university studies have been conducted to compare the use of serum/plasma samples with tear/saliva samples for detecting FELV in cats via the ELISA methodology. The results are as follows:
