A question that arose a couple fo days ago with a person that I know is whether fleas can be carrier of diseases among cats, namely FIV and FeLV.
The doubt came up because both I and this person are active in two different cat shelters, and in both places it has been noticed that healthy cats got positive to FeLV at a later test.
Because there is a very strong certainty that these cats didn't get in touch with sick cats, the only explanation could be that fleas carried the disease from one environment/room of the shelter, to another room.
Would this be possible?
