    Snippet: The viruses were more often isolated from cats that shared a habitat (Table 1) . Such results are similar to those demonstrated in surveys performed in European countries (2, Feline calicivirus and feline herpesvirus 13).

    Document: The viruses were more often isolated from cats that shared a habitat (Table 1) . Such results are similar to those demonstrated in surveys performed in European countries (2, Feline calicivirus and feline herpesvirus 13).

This means that cats are more exposed to infectious diseases that are transmitted by contact than the general population analyzed in surveys performed in the USA and European countries.
