ICTV Virus Taxonomy Profile: Bornaviridae. [PDF]
J Gen Virol, 2021 Members of the family Bornaviridae produce enveloped virions containing a linear negative-sense non-segmented RNA genome of about 9 kb. Bornaviruses are found in mammals, birds, reptiles and fish. The most-studied viruses with public health and veterinary impact are Borna disease virus 1 and variegated squirrel bornavirus 1, both of which cause fatal ...

Aquatic Bird Bornavirus 1 in Wild Geese, Denmark [PDF]
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2015 To investigate aquatic bird bornavirus 1 in Europe, we examined 333 brains from hunter-killed geese in Denmark in 2014. Seven samples were positive by reverse transcription PCR and were 98.2%–99.8% identical; they were also 97.4%–98.1% identical to ...
