There is an additional developing rationale for studying disease ecology in the cat family. With the annotation of the complete cat genome, the field of comparative genomics has raised the prospects for developing the cat model as a comparative tool for human diseases. The members of the family felidae harbor many deadly infectious agents modeling human scourges including feline coronavirus, a relative to the human SARS virus; and feline leukemia virus and feline immunodeficiency virus, both retroviruses used as a model to study HIV AIDS and cancer in humans.

The diversity in habitat, behavior, and natural history of the 37 members of the cat family evolutionarily shape an array of host genetic determinant responses to these infectious diseases in terms of host-immune interactions in a natural setting. Here I use the tools of molecular genetics, virology, phylogenetics, and clinical pathology to better understand the mechanisms of pathogenesis in cat species infected with these deadly agents in nature. Through phylogenetic study, I describe the patterns of virulence in feline coronavirus infection (FCoV) in domestic cats, the emergence of feline leukemia virus (FeLV) in the previously naive Florida panther population, and the first occurrence of feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) in Asia in the wild Mongolian Pallas' cat population. My results unseat several paradigms relating to pathogenic mechanisms and highlight the opportunities afforded by studying natural cat models of deadly scourges using the tools of molecular genetics. The rigorous sampling strategy employed in these studies, including isolating FeLV and FIV virus from nondomestic cat populations, and isolating both virulent and avirulent strains of FCoV from cats, is an important lesson for studying viral dynamics of emerging diseases in a natural context.
