How is Feline Leukemia Virus (FeLV) different from Feline immunodeficiency virus(FIV)?
FeLV’s modes of transmission include biting, mating and transfer of saliva like through grooming. FIV is only transmitted by biting and leads to less immunity than FeLV (fewer cases of FIV are seen but those cases are more serious/deadly than FeLV)

Both are retroviruses and can lead to developing secondary diseases
