Humane Infektionen mit dem Borna Disease Virus (BoDV-1) [PDF]
Untersuchungen des Friedrich-Loeffler-Instituts (FLI) in Zusammenarbeit u.a. mit den Universitätskliniken in Regensburg, München und Leipzig identifizierten erstmals das klassische Bornavirus (Borna disease virus 1, BoDV-1; Spezies Mammalian 1 Bornavirus) als wahrscheinlichen Auslöser von schweren Entzündungen des Gehirns (Enzephalitis) beim Menschen.

Spillover infections by rustrela virus, borna disease virus 1 and tick-borne encephalitis virus revealed by retrospective screening of mammalian encephalitis of unknown origin [PDF]
Background Cross-species transmission of several viral neuropathogens may lead to fatal disease in incidental hosts. The newly discovered rustrela virus (RusV) as well as Borna disease virus 1 (BoDV-1), tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV), and highly ...

Risk factors for Borna disease virus 1 encephalitis in Germany – a case–control study [PDF]
In 2018, Borna Disease Virus 1 (BoDV-1) was confirmed as a human zoonotic pathogen causing rare but fatal encephalitis in Germany. While diagnostic procedures and the clinical picture have been described, epidemiology remains mysterious.
