[Extract] There are five subtypes (synonym: clades) of feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV), named A-E. Different subtypes predominate in different parts of the world but more than one subtype may be found in a particular country. There is no known practical, clinical value in determining the subtype infecting a particular feline patient.
