Four consecutive fecal samples of 179 cats from 37 German breeding catteries were analyzed for FCoV ribonucleic acid (RNA) by real-time reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of FCoV shedding in German breeding catteries and to evaluate associated risk factors. The number of cats per cattery, breed, hygiene management, husbandry conditions and outdoor access were not significantly associated with FCoV shedding in this population (Tables 4 and 5 ). Univariate risk factor analysis in the present study suggested that breed and the number of cats in the household had a significant influence on the prevalence of FCoV shedding, but these results have been distorted by the effect each breeder has on hygienic conditions and the risk of infection within their cattery. ./cache/cord-347362-e4paw26n.txt ./txt/cord-347362-e4paw26n.txt
