In 24 cats (Uppsala, Sweden) with neurological signs of "staggering disease" and typical neuropathology, 44% had Borna disease virus (BDV)-specific antibodies. In 173 cat sera (Berlin, Germany) of animals with unknown record, 7% were BDV positive. Out of 24 cats with undefined neurological disorders, 13% were BDV positive. Similarities in staggering disease of cats and Borna disease of horses and sheep suggest related etiological agents.
