Values highlighted in bold are significantly different between groups.

In each cell, the upper value is the mean ± SD, and the description on the bottom is the qualitative comparison between the respective infected group and the non‐infected group.

FeLV, feline leukaemia virus; FIV, feline immunodeficiency virus.

Values in parentheses are expressed in percentage.
