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

open access: yesAnnals 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

open access: yesViruses, 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

open access: yesEFSA 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

open access: yesFEBS 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 ...

ICTV Virus Taxonomy Profile: Bornaviridae [PDF]

open access: yes, 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.

Why genes overlap in viruses [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
The genomes of most virus species have overlapping genes\u2014two or more proteins coded for by the same nucleotide sequence. Several explanations have been proposed for the evolution of this phenomenon, and we test these by comparing the amount of gene ...

Marburg Virus Disease: A Narrative Review

open access: yesHealth Science Reports, Volume 8, Issue 5, May 2025.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Given the recent deadly outbreaks of the Marburg virus (MARV), in early 2023 in Tanzania and Equatorial Guinea, and the most recent one in Rwanda in 2024, there has been renewed attention across Africa on the threat posed by the re‐emergence of MARV as a growing concern for public health.

Intracerebral Borna disease virus infection of bank voles leading to peripheral spread and reverse transcription of viral RNA.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2011
Bornaviruses, which chronically infect many species, can cause severe neurological diseases in some animal species; their association with human neuropsychiatric disorders is, however, debatable.
