Determination of the zoonotic potential of feline, bovine and equine foamy virus

1 Establishing species‐specific and group‐specific screening systems for high‐throughput analysis of human serum samples (e.g. enzyme‐ linked immuno‐sorbent assay, ELISA)
2 Establishing confirmatory, species‐specific serological test (e.g. immuno‐blotting tests)
3 Establishing independent, PCR‐based detection systems
4 Testing of samples from individuals with increased exposition probability
5 Testing of samples from patients where exposition to cat, bovine, or equine viruses has been implicated in disease
