Abstract
Anti-Borna disease virus (BDV) antibodies were detected from cats in Japan, Philippines and Indonesia by using electrochemiluminescence immunoassay. P ositive rates were 3.1%, 3.8% and 2.0% in Japan, Philippines and Indonesia, respectively. There was no differences in the positive rate of anti-BDV an tibodies between male and female cats and among habitats. While, a signific antly (P<0.05) higher prevalence (6.5%) was found in the oldest age group ( more than 6 years) cats.
