Table 9.
Percentage of positive organs with respect to the virus investigated. FPV DNA was prevalently found in the spleen (72.5%), FelV and FCov genomes in the heart (41.4% and 28.9%, respectively), RVA and FCV nucleic acids in the intestine (10.4% and 8.3%, respectively); FHV-1 DNA in the lungs (10.3%). The highest prevalence/virus genomes are in bold.
