- * Researchers collected swab samples from diseased cats and performed genetic sequencing on key viral genes, finding a 21.5% detection rate of FHV-1 among the samples.
- * Analysis indicated correlations between age, vaccination status, and environment with FHV-1 positivity, but not with the cats' sex; co-infection with feline calicivirus was also noted in some cases.
