Abstract
In 24 cats (Uppsala, Sweden) with neurological signs of ''staggering d isease'' and typical neuropathology, 44 % had Borna disease virus (BDV ) specific antibodies. In 173 cat sera (Berlin, Germany) of animals wi th unknown record, 7 % were BDV positive. Out of 24 cats with undefine d neurological disorders, 13 % were BDV positive. Similarities in stag gering disease of cats and Borna disease of horses and sheep suggest r elated etiological agents.
