FeMV = feline morbillivirus

^*Not all cats had both urine RT-PCR and serology performed. Seropositive includes all results reported as positive (strong positive, positive, weak positive) in this study. Serology results reported as ‘high background’ are excluded

^†Includes 1/1 azotaemic and 4/4 non-azotaemic cats

^‡Includes cats that did not have RT-PCR performed
