(1) Background: Vaccination of horses and sheep against Borna disease (BD) was common in endemic areas of Germany in the 20th century but was abandoned in the early 1990s.

Evolutionarily Conserved Interaction between the Phosphoproteins and X Proteins of Bornaviruses from Different Vertebrate Species. [PDF]
Bornavirus, a non-segmented, negative-strand RNA viruses, is currently classified into several genetically distinct genotypes, such as Borna disease virus (BDV) and avian bornaviruses (ABVs).

Distinct 5' UTR Requirements for Translation of the Bicistronic X/P mRNA Among Avian Orthobornaviruses. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Orthobornaviruses express X and the phosphoprotein (P) from a bicistronic X/P mRNA, and these proteins regulate polymerase activity. In mammalian orthobornaviruses, the 5′ untranslated region (5′ UTR) of the X/P mRNA controls the translational balance between X and P and thereby promotes efficient replication.

ABSTRACT Borna disease virus (BDV) is a nonsegmented, negative-strand RNA virus that causes neurological diseases in a variety of warm-blooded animal species. There is general consensus that BDV can also infect humans, being a possible zoonosis.

Experimental infection of shrews (<i>Crocidura russula</i>) with Borna disease virus 1: Insights into viral spread and shedding. [PDF]
Abstract Numbers of human encephalitis cases caused by infection with Borna disease virus 1 (BoDV1) increase continuously in endemic areas. The reservoir host of BoDV1 is the bicolored white-toothed shrew, albeit few naturally infected individuals of other shrew species have been detected.

Detection of virus-specific T cells via ELISpot corroborates early diagnosis in human Borna disease virus 1 (BoDV-1) encephalitis. [PDF]
Abstract Background Within endemic regions in southern and eastern Germany, Borna disease virus 1 (BoDV-1) causes rare zoonotic spill-over infections in humans, leading to encephalitis with a high case-fatality risk.

Understanding the Enigmatic Dance of Immune-Mediated Viral Infections and Their Pathogenetic Mechanisms. [PDF]
This graphical representation illustrates the multifaceted nature of the immune response in viral infections, demonstrating both its protective and potentially harmful aspects. While a properly regulated immune reaction facilitates viral clearance and promotes general recovery, an overly robust or misdirected response—exemplified by Type III or Type IV

Borna Disease Virus Phosphoprotein Binds a Neurite Outgrowth Factor, Amphoterin/HMG-1 [PDF]
ABSTRACT The Borna disease virus (BDV) p24 phosphoprotein is an abundant protein in BDV-infected cultured cells and animal brains. Therefore, there is a possibility that binding of the p24 protein to cellular factor(s) induces functional alterations of infected neural cells in the brain.
