Borna Disease in a Dog with Lethal Meningoencephalitis [PDF]
Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 1998 ABSTRACT A dog was euthanatized because of progressive neurological signs. Histologically, a nonsuppurative meningoencephalitis was found. By immunohistochemistry, in situ hybridization, and nested PCR procedures, Borna disease virus (BDV) antigen and BDV-specific RNA were demonstrated in brain tissues of the dog.
