Factors Influencing Vertical Transmission of Psittacine Bornavirus in Cockatiels (Nymphicus hollandicus)

Viruses, 2022
The transmission of parrot bornavirus is still not fully understood. Although horizontal transmission through wounds can be one route, vertical transmission is still discussed.

First isolation, in-vivo and genomic characterization of zoonotic variegated squirrel Bornavirus 1 (VSBV-1) isolates

Emerging Microbes and Infections, 2020
The variegated squirrel bornavirus 1 (VSBV-1), a member of the family Bornaviridae, was discovered in 2015 in a series of lethal human infections. Screening approaches revealed kept exotic squirrels as the putative source of infection.Infectious virus ...

Aquatic Bird Bornavirus 1 in Wild Geese, Denmark

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 ...

No evidence for European bats serving as reservoir for Borna disease virus 1 or other known mammalian orthobornaviruses

Virology Journal, 2020
Background The majority of emerging infectious diseases are zoonotic in nature and originate from wildlife reservoirs. Borna disease, caused by Borna disease virus 1 (BoDV-1), is an infectious disease affecting mammals, but recently it has also been ...

Bornavirus Encephalitis Shows a Characteristic Magnetic Resonance Phenotype in Humans

Annals of Neurology, Volume 88, Issue 4, Page 723-735, October 2020., 2020
Objective The number of diagnosed fatal encephalitis cases in humans caused by the classical Borna disease virus (BoDV‐1) has been increasing, ever since it was proved that BoDV‐1 can cause human infections. However, awareness of this entity is low, and a specific imaging pattern has not yet been identified. We therefore provide the first comprehensive

Evolutionary Selection of the Nuclear Localization Signal in the Viral Nucleoprotein Leads to Host Adaptation of the Genus Orthobornavirus

Viruses, 2020
Adaptation of the viral life cycle to host cells is necessary for efficient viral infection and replication. This evolutionary process has contributed to the mechanism for determining the host range of viruses.

Investigation of astrovirus and bornavirus in the cerebrospinal fluid of dogs clinically diagnosed with meningoencephalitis of unknown etiology

Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine, Volume 34, Issue 1, Page 232-236, January/February 2020., 2020
Abstract Background Non‐suppurative encephalitides in a variety of species, including humans and dogs, have been linked to infection by astroviruses and bornaviruses. Hypothesis/Objectives To determine whether or not ribonucleic acid of astroviruses or bornaviruses was present in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of dogs with clinically diagnosed ...

A preliminary study of viral metagenomics of French bat species in contact with humans: identification of new mammalian viruses. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
The prediction of viral zoonosis epidemics has become a major public health issue. A profound understanding of the viral population in key animal species acting as reservoirs represents an important step towards this goal.

Use of Avian Bornavirus Isolates to Induce Proventricular Dilatation Disease in Conures

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2010
Avian bornavirus (ABV) is a newly discovered member of the family Bornaviridae that has been associated with the development of a lethal neurologic syndrome in birds, termed proventricular dilatation disease (PDD).

Pathogen Screening for Possible Causes of Meningitis/Encephalitis in Wild Carnivores From Saxony-Anhalt

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2022
Inflammation in meninges and/or brain is regularly noticed in red foxes and other wild carnivores during rabies control programs. Despite negative rabies virus (RABV) results, the etiologies of these cases remain unknown.
