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.

Animal Model Alternatives in Filovirus and Bornavirus Research

Viruses, 2023
The order Mononegavirales contains a variety of highly pathogenic viruses that may infect humans, including the families Filoviridae, Bornaviridae, Paramyxoviridae, and Rhabodoviridae. Animal models have historically been important to study virus pathogenicity and to develop medical countermeasures.

Variegated Squirrel Bornavirus 1 in Squirrels, Germany and the Netherlands

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2017
We screened squirrels in Germany and the Netherlands for the novel zoonotic variegated squirrel bornavirus 1 (VSBV-1). The detection of VSBV-1 in 11 squirrels indicates a considerable risk for transmission to humans handling those animals.

Recovery of divergent avian bornaviruses from cases of proventricular dilatation disease: Identification of a candidate etiologic agent

Virology Journal, 2008
Background Proventricular dilatation disease (PDD) is a fatal disorder threatening domesticated and wild psittacine birds worldwide. It is characterized by lymphoplasmacytic infiltration of the ganglia of the central and peripheral nervous system ...

Borna disease virus infection: Retrospective case series of five horses and two donkeys in Switzerland

Equine Veterinary Education, Volume 38, Issue 3, Page e119-e129, March 2026.
Summary Borna disease is an acute to subacute, rarely chronic non‐purulent meningoencephaylomyelitis affecting mainly horses and sheep. This case series describes the clinical signs, diagnosis, treatment, outcome and post‐mortem findings of five horses and two donkeys with this condition. The equids affected were geldings or mares of various breeds and

Comparative study of virus and lymphocyte distribution with clinical data suggests early high dose immunosuppression as potential key factor for the therapy of patients with BoDV-1 infection

Emerging Microbes and Infections
Borna disease virus 1 (BoDV-1) was just recently shown to cause predominantly fatal encephalitis in humans. Despite its rarity, bornavirus encephalitis (BVE) can be considered a model disease for encephalitic infections caused by neurotropic viruses and ...

Endogenous bornavirus elements in mammalian genome

Uirusu, 2010
Approximately 8% of our genome is made up of endogenous retroviral elements. Endogenous retrovirus is a fossil record of ancient retrovirus infection and, therefore, gives important insights into the evolutional relationship between retroviruses and their hosts.
