| dc.description | FeLV is a virus that affects domestic and wild cats worldwide. Its diagnosis can be made through tests such as ELISA and Immunochromatography. Early diagnosis and timely treatment improve the quality of life of the cat. In the urban area of the Baba canton, Los Ríos province, in the sectors, Barrio Cuba, Las Malvinas and Baba Central, research was carried out with the objectives of identifying the virus antibody through immunoassay, relating the risk factors that influence the presence of the disease and analyzing its presence in domestic cats with and without symptoms, to know the current situation of ViLeF in the canton, since there is no previous study on the subject. After conducting a test on 50 cats, it was discovered that 46% (23 cats) were positive for FeLV, while 54% were negative (27 cats). The majority of positive cases were unneutered males and cats between 1 and 2 years old, making them more vulnerable to contagion due to fights or mating with other felines. In conclusion, it is important to prevent contagion in healthy cats through isolation of sick animals and vaccination. It is recommended to follow a vaccination protocol to prevent infection. This protocol may include vaccines against these viruses at regular intervals according to the veterinarian’s recommendations | es_ES |

| dc.description.abstract | El FeLV es un virus que afecta a gatos domésticos y salvajes en todo el mundo. Su diagnóstico se puede realizar mediante pruebas como ELISA e Inmunocromatografía. Un diagnóstico temprano y tratamiento oportuno mejoran la calidad de vida del gato. En la zona urbana del cantón Baba, provincia de Los Ríos, en los sectores, Barrio Cuba, las Malvinas y Baba Central, se realizó la investigación con los objetivos de identificar el antígeno del virus mediante inmunoensayo, relacionar los factores de riesgo que influyen en la presencia de la enfermedad y analizar su presencia en gatos domésticos con y sin síntomas, para saber la situación actual de ViLeF en el cantón, dado que no existe estudio previo sobre el tema. Después de realizar una prueba en 50 gatos, se descubrió que el 46% (23 gatos) eran positivos para el FeLV, mientras que el 54% eran negativos (27 gatos). La mayoría de los casos positivos eran machos no castrados y gatos entre 1 y 2 años por lo que son más vulnerables al contagio, debido a las peleas o el apareamiento con otros felinos, además, se concluyó que es importante prevenir el contagio en gatos sanos a través del aislamiento de animales enfermos y la vacunación, por lo que se recomienda seguir un protocolo de vacunación para prevenir la infección. Este protocolo puede incluir vacunas contra estos virus a intervalos regulares según las recomendaciones del veterinario | es_ES |
