Abstract
A novel bovine astrovirus (BoAstV CH13/NeuroS1) has been associated with encephalitis in cattle in Europe and the USA. We retrospectively analyzed feedlot cattle with encephalitis of unknown etiology for this virus by in-situ hybridization. Results suggest that BoAstV CH13/NeuroS1 is a major cause of encephalitis in western Canadian feedlot cattle.
