Borna disease virus infection in cats

Veterinary Journal, 2014
Bornaviruses are known to cause neurological disorders in a number of animal species. Avian Bornavirus (ABV) causes proventricular dilatation disease (PDD) in birds and Borna disease virus (BDV) causes Borna disease in horses and sheep. BDV also causes staggering disease in cats, characterised by ataxia, behavioural changes and loss of postural ...

Borna disease: virus-induced neurobehavioral disease pathogenesis

Current Opinion in Microbiology, 2001
Studies of the pathogenesis of neurobehavioral diseases following Borna disease virus infections have been increasing rapidly over the past ten years. Recent major advances have included a report of vertical transmission of the virus in its natural host, the horse, and a report of isolation of a novel variant, No/98, in that same species.

Molecular biology of Borna disease virus and persistence

Frontiers in Bioscience - Landmark, 2002
Borna disease virus (BDV) causes central nervous system (CNS) disease that is frequently manifested by behavioral abnormalities. Recent evidence indicates that the natural host range and geographic distribution of BDV is wider than originally thought BDV has been molecularly characterized as a non-segmented, negative single-stranded (NNS) RNA virus ...

Borna Disease Virus

Journal of Neurovirology, 2002
Borna disease virus, a negative-strand RNA virus, infects a wide variety of warm-blooded animals. Depending on the age of the host and the integrity of its immune response, infection may be asymptomatic or cause a broad spectrum of behavioral disorders.

Dementia and Borna Disease Virus

Dementia and Geriatric Cognitive Disorders, 1997
Human Borna disease virus (BDV) infection has been reported to be a threat to mental health [1]. BDV is an unclassified, nonsegmented negative sense single-stranded RNA virus which naturally infects horses, cattle, cats and sheep [2, 3]. Infection causes disturbances in behavior and cognitive function [1].

Borna disease virus and schizophrenia

Psychiatry Research, 1995
The development of a new serological assay method to detect antibodies in human sera recognizing Borna disease virus (BDV) proteins and a clinical pilot study are presented. Psychiatric patients from a schizophrenia research clinic in Baltimore, Maryland, were examined for antibodies to BDV antigen with traditional indirect immunofluorescence assays ...

Borna—A slow virus disease

Comparative Immunology, Microbiology and Infectious Diseases, 1978
Abstract Borna is an ideal model for the study of the pathogenesis of slow virus diseases. Our present knowledge of the nature of the agent, the immunology, the pathogenesis, the different courses of infection and diagnosis is described. The wide host and cell spectrum of Borna virus leads one to suppose that Borna infections are more widespread ...

The immunopathogenesis of Borna disease virus infection

Frontiers in Bioscience, 2002
Borna disease virus (BDV) infection represents an excellent model system to study immunopathological mechanisms based on a T cell-mediated immune reaction in the central nervous system. The single-stranded RNA Borna disease virus, a member of Bornaviridae in the order of Mononegavirale, lacks cytopathogenicity both in vitro and in vivo.

Borna disease virus and infection in humans

Frontiers in Bioscience, 2002
Borna disease virus (BDV) is a nonsegmented, negative-, single-stranded, highly neurotropic RNA virus with noncytolytic replication in the central nervous system. This virus causes neurological and behavioral disturbances primarily in horses and sheep, in addition to a variety of other vertebrate animal species and in laboratory animal models.
