在加利福尼亚州萨克拉门托的一所大学校园里，一只年轻的成年雄性自由放养美洲狮(Felis Concolor)被带走。捕获后不久采集的血液样本显示，它贫血，淋巴细胞减少，患有肾脏疾病，猫白血病病毒(FeLV)抗体阳性。这只动物被安乐死了。尸检发现全身性淋巴结病和淋巴增生性疾病。在细胞培养中分离到FeLV，免疫组织化学显示FeLV存在于淋巴结和唾液腺中。双侧亚急性肾小管间质间质性肾炎也被发现，银染显示有螺旋体。这是北美首例野生猫科动物感染FeLV的病例报告。
A young adult male free-ranging cougar (Felis concolor) was removed from a college campus in Sacramento, California. Blood samples taken shortly after capture revealed it to be anemic, lymphopenic, suffering from renal disease, and feline leukemia virus (FeLV) antibody positive. The animal was euthanized. On postmortem examination, generalized lymphadenopathy and lymphoproliferative disease were noted. FeLV was isolated in cell culture and demonstrated within lymph nodes and salivary glands by immunohistochemistry. Bilateral subacute tubulointer stitial nephritis was also noted, and silver staining revealed spirochetes. This is the first case report of FeLV infection of a free-ranging wild felid in North America.
