A cat that was brought to the UK from the Mediterranean island was found to be infected, after it developed symptoms and was sent for tests and treatment by its owner.
However, scientists from the Royal Veterinary College, the University of Edinburgh and the Cypriot government found that the British case had the same genetic fingerprint as 91 of those in Cyprus.
In the study, which has been published before it has been peer-reviewed, the scientists warn there is a significant risk of the outbreak spreading further.
