Viruses Identified in Shrews (Soricidae) and Their Biomedical Significance [PDF]
Shrews (Soricidae) are common small wild mammals. Some species of shrews, such as Asian house shrews (Suncus murinus), have a significant overlap in their habitats with humans and domestic animals.

Synaptic Plasticity and Neurological Disorders in Neurotropic Viral Infections [PDF]
Based on the type of cells or tissues they tend to harbor or attack, many of the viruses are characterized. But, in case of neurotropic viruses, it is not possible to classify them based on their tropism because many of them are not primarily neurotropic.

Persistence of Psittacine Bornavirus-4 Viral RNA Is Temperature Dependent in Aqueous Environments and Material Dependent in Non-Aqueous Environments [PDF]
Psittacine bornavirus type-4 (PaBV-4) causes proventricular dilatation disease and death among diverse birds, most notably caged parrots and related species, with no known cure or vaccine. Infected birds can shed virus in fecal matter, urine, and feather

The structure of the mammalian bornavirus polymerase complex. [PDF]
Borna disease virus 1 (BoDV-1) is a non-segmented RNA virus with one of the smallest known RNA virus genomes. BoDV-1 replicates in the nucleus of infected cells using a virally encoded polymerase complex composed of the large protein and phosphoprotein ...

Structural and biophysical characterization of the Borna disease virus 1 phosphoprotein. [PDF]
The phosphoprotein is an essential component of the replication complex in bornaviruses. Here, using X‐ray crystallography, the structure of the phosphoprotein from Borna disease virus 1 is presented and its flexibility in solution is characterized.Bornaviruses are RNA viruses with a mammalian, reptilian, and avian host range.
