Proteomics computational analyses suggest that the bornavirus glycoprotein is a class III viral fusion protein (γ penetrene)

Virology Journal, 2009
Background Borna disease virus (BDV) is the type member of the Bornaviridae, a family of viruses that induce often fatal neurological diseases in horses, sheep and other animals, and have been proposed to have roles in certain psychiatric diseases of ...

Search for polyoma-, herpes-, and bornaviruses in squirrels of the family Sciuridae

Virology Journal, 2020
Background Squirrels (family Sciuridae) are globally distributed members of the order Rodentia with wildlife occurrence in indigenous and non-indigenous regions (as invasive species) and frequent presence in zoological gardens and other holdings ...

Persistence of Psittacine Bornavirus-4 Viral RNA Is Temperature Dependent in Aqueous Environments and Material Dependent in Non-Aqueous Environments

Veterinary Sciences
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

Viral Equine Encephalitis, a Growing Threat to the Horse Population in Europe?

Viruses, 2019
Neurological disorders represent an important sanitary and economic threat for the equine industry worldwide. Among nervous diseases, viral encephalitis is of growing concern, due to the emergence of arboviruses and to the high contagiosity of ...

What viruses tell us about evolution and immunity: beyond Darwin?

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, Volume 1447, Issue 1, Page 53-68, July 2019., 2019
Here, we describe mechanisms of genetic innovation mediated by viruses and related elements, which during evolution caused major genetic changes beyond what was anticipated by Charles Darwin. Abstract We describe mechanisms of genetic innovation mediated by viruses and related elements that, during evolution, caused major genetic changes beyond what ...

Avian Bornaviruses Escape Recognition by the Innate Immune System

Viruses, 2010
Like other pathogens that readily persist in animal hosts, members of the Bornaviridae family have evolved effective mechanisms to evade the innate immune response.

Assessment of listing and categorisation of animal diseases within the framework of the Animal Health Law (Regulation (EU) No 2016/429): Borna disease

EFSA Journal, Volume 15, Issue 7, July 2017., 2017
Abstract Borna disease has been assessed according to the criteria of the Animal Health Law (AHL), in particular criteria of Article 7 on disease profile and impacts, Article 5 on the eligibility of Borna disease to be listed, Article 9 for the categorisation of Borna disease according to disease prevention and control rules as in Annex IV and Article ...

Comparative interactomics for virus–human protein–protein interactions: DNA viruses versus RNA viruses

FEBS Open Bio, Volume 7, Issue 1, Page 96-107, January 2017., 2017
An improved understanding of viral infection mechanisms is only possible through a better understanding of the pathogen–host interactions (PHIs) that enable viruses to manipulate the host's cellular mechanisms to their own advantage. We comparatively analyzed the current experimentally verified PHI networks belonging to DNA and RNA viruses and their ...

Synaptic Plasticity and Neurological Disorders in Neurotropic Viral Infections

Neural Plasticity, Volume 2015, Issue 1, 2015., 2015
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.
