Abstract: Border disease (BD), caused by border disease virus (BDV), is an infectious disease in sheep and goats. This disease brings massive economic losses in livestock production around the world. BDV infection causes reproductive disorders in ewes and deformity, tremor, hairiness in lambs. Interspecies transmission of BDV among sheep, cattle and pigs frequently occurs, posing challenges in diagnosis of BD. There is currently no available vaccines for BD prevention and control. Understanding the prevalence of BD in different geographical regions can thus aid in the prevention of transmission and the optimization of control measures of this disease. Based on the current research, this paper reviews BD from the perspectives of etiology, epidemiology, and diagnostic measures, in hoping to provide a reference for the prevention and control of this disease.

Key words: border disease, etiology, epidemiology, diagnostic measures
