To estimate the veterinary importance of Batai virus (BATV), we investigated the presence of BATV-specific antibodies and BATV RNA in 548 bovines from southwest Germany, and we demonstrated that 3 cattle serum samples contained BATV-neutralizing antibodies, resulting in a seroprevalence of 0.55%. Thus, our results confirm local transmission and indicate cattle as potential hosts of BATV in southwest Germany.
为评估巴泰病毒(BATV)对兽医领域的重要性,我们调查了德国西南部548头奶牛体内BATV特异性抗体和BATV RNA的存在情况,结果表明3份牛血清样本含有BATV中和抗体,血清阳性率为0.55%。因此,我们的结果证实了当地存在病毒传播,并表明奶牛是德国西南部BATV的潜在宿主。
