The results suggest that some agents probably had a reservoir in domestic cats and may cause some undetected morbidity/mortality in the studied wildcat population, whereas others, such as FeLV and FCV, may be enzootic. The aims of the present study were (1) to assess the seroprevalence against feline disease agents in free-living wildcats and (2) to examine whether prevalence, number of detected agents, and similarity between wildcats in the composition of the pathogens they were exposed to were related with sex, season, and body condition. Seroprevalence to the different studied disease agents in the wildcat population of Toledo Mountains was either in the range of, or higher than, values previously reported in Europe (Artois and Remond 1994; McOrist et al.	./cache/cord-301527-i3xz1rfi.txt	./txt/cord-301527-i3xz1rfi.txt
