Declarations

: All procedures described in this work comply with the ethical standards of the relevant national and institutional guides. All samples used were surplus diagnostic samples and were not specifically collected for this study. For healthy control cats from Switzerland, the objective and design of the study were approved for owned, shelter and stray cats by the owners, shelter administrator and animal welfare organisers of the neutering campaigns, respectively. Written consent was obtained from all owners of patients at the Queen’s Veterinary School Hospital of the University of Cambridge, permitting surplus diagnostic samples to be used for research. All samples are archived according to the Department of Veterinary Medicine animal welfare guidelines. Cats from ZVL-endemic areas were sampled under the framework of a field study approved by the Italian Ministry of Health (authorisation no. 0006088–10/03/2015-DGSAF-COD_UO-P), and the cats’ owners provided signed informed consent before sampling.
