Is it through a stool sample or blood test?
Thanks!
Answers:
Most veterinarians will diagnose Panleukopenia based on the clinical symptoms they see, the history prior to illness (including vaccination) and a total WBC count from a blood sample.
Both.
Typicaly a stool test is used, but there is an available blood test as well. I've put a link to an article on the disease.
Vaccination is important in it's prevention. My local Humane Society just closed down for a few days because of a sever outbreak.
here are some website you can look at:

Most vets dx this through clinical symptoms, history and WBC and can be confirmed with the presence of FPV antigen in feces.
Highly contagious. Yearly vaccines are advisable. FDRC - Feline Distemper, rhinotracheitis and calicivirus, Rabies Vaccine and a Leukemia Vaccine are highly recommened for optimum health, even for indoor kittys.
