Structural and biophysical characterization of the Borna disease virus 1 phosphoprotein. [PDF]

Acta Crystallogr F Struct Biol Commun, 2023
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.

Highly specific serological diagnosis of Borna disease virus 1 (BoDV-1) and variegated squirrel bornavirus 1 (VSBV-1) encephalitis by novel antibody isotype assay with multiple viral antigens

Journal of Clinical Virology
Human bornavirus encephalitis is an emerging, severe and nearly uniformly fatal zoonotic disease in Germany. The etiological pathogens so far encompass the Borna disease virus 1 (BoDV-1) and the variegated squirrel bornavirus 1 (VSBV-1). While BoDV-1 is at least harbored by the white-toothed shrew (Crocidura leucodon) as a natural reservoir and ...

New World camelids are sentinels for the presence of Borna disease virus

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 69, Issue 2, Page 451-464, March 2022., 2022
Abstract Borna disease (BD), a frequently fatal neurologic disorder caused by Borna disease virus 1 (BoDV‐1), has been observed for decades in horses, sheep, and other mammals in certain regions of Europe. The bicoloured white‐toothed shrew (Crocidura leucodon) was identified as a persistently infected species involved in virus transmission.
