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 sera contain 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.
