These infected animals could efficiently transmit the virus to uninfected animals housed with them. This finding is similar to that of SARS transmission in humans in which SARS-CoV can be quickly spread from person to person through close contact. However, the virus cannot be transmitted from animal to human

How risky is it to house a cat infected with HIV with non-infected cats?
Cats actually do not become infected with HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus); they have their own related virus called FIV (Feline Immunodeficiency Virus). Your cat cannot infect you with FIV, so you are not at risk for any disease. The short answer is, you will end up with a full house of FIV-positive cats - the virus is fairly contagious among cats that are commingled. However, if you keep all the cats indoors and don't bring new cats in, the cats you have can live a relatively normal life. Once your last FIV-positive cat passes away, you should thoroughly clean your house before bringing in any new cats to ensure the virus is gone.
Can a cat get and infect to people rabies if they have a rabies shotAsk us anything?
If a cat has a rabies shot after it has already become infected with rabies, the shot will be ineffective and the cat can infect people despite having been vaccinated. If the cat receives its rabies shot while it is healthy, and if the shot is effective (which it is nearly all the time), then the cat cannot catch rabies and cannot infect a human. However, a very small number of rabies shots (about one in 100,000) is not effective. Note that the rabies vaccine can lose effectiveness if it is mishandled. In almost all cases, if the original shot is ineffective, the booster shot corrects it.
Are cats breath cleaner than humans?
No they are not. ANSWER The vast majority of infectious diseases only affect one species, so diseases that hurt dogs -- parvo virus for example -- will not generally attack a human. It follows then that a cat's mouth, while not cleaner than a human's, will contain fewer bactiera, virii,etc. that would infect a human. However, in terms of cleanliness, cats' mouths are no cleaner than your own.

Can cats get AIDS?
Cats can't "catch" AIDS from a human being.Humans can suffer from HIV, or Human Immunodeficiency Virus but a cat can only suffer from the feline version, which is called Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (or FIV).How sad!Believe it or not, cats can contract FIV (feline immunodeficiency virus) which is a feline version of the AIDS virus. FIV is part of the same family of viruses as the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Just like the human variety, FIV attacks the cat's immune system; weakening it and leaving the cat prone to a variety of illnesses and infections.FIV is most often found in blood, saliva and other fluids. The most common means of transmission is through bite wounds. FIV, like HIV, can also be transmitted via sexual activity, and the infected mother can pass it onto her kittens.While there is no cure, a cat can live many years in relative comfort with the right care and proper treatments.
