[Detection of border disease virus in a sheep flock in Saxony].
A pestivirus has been isolated from brain samples of two lambs suffering from clinical signs of border disease. The two identical isolates were allocated to the "true" border disease virus group concerning their reaction pattern with monoclonal antibodies and the 5'UTR sequence data. Nevertheless, alterations of phenotype and genotype in comparison with references of both BDV-subgroups have been shown. The existence of an infection with border disease virus in the flock has been confirmed by serological studies.
