Screening red foxes (Vulpes vulpes) for possible viral causes of encephalitis [PDF]
Background: Next to various known infectious and non-infectious causes, the aetiology of non-suppurative encephalitis in red foxes (Vulpes vulpes) often remains unclear.

The equine species as Trojan horse for Borna Disease Virus-1? [PDF]
Dear reader, The recent report on a veterinarian bitten by a horse seropositive to Borna Disease Virus-1 (BoDV-1) in the Netherlands (Sloet van Oldruitenborgh-Oosterbaan et al. 2018) draws attention to the zoonotic potential of this virus.

Accumulating evidence suggests that some endogenous viral elements (EVEs), including endogenous retroviruses and endogenous nonretroviral virus elements, have acquired functions in the host as a result of long-term coevolution.

The neuropathology of fatal encephalomyelitis in human Borna virus infection [PDF]
After many years of controversy, there is now recent and solid evidence that classical Borna disease virus 1 (BoDV-1) can infect humans. On the basis of six brain autopsies, we provide the first systematic overview on BoDV-1 tissue distribution and the ...

Bornaviruses in naturally infected Psittacus erithacus in Portugal: insights of molecular epidemiology and ecology [PDF]
Background: The genus Orthobornavirus comprises non-segmented, negative-stranded RNA viruses able to infect humans, mammals, reptiles and various birds. Parrot bornavirus 1 to 8(PaBV-1 to 8) causes neurological and/or gastrointestinal syndromes and death

Origin of an endogenous bornavirus-like nucleoprotein element in thirteen-lined ground squirrels.
Endogenous bornavirus-like nucleoprotein (EBLN) elements are nucleotide sequences homologous to the bornavirus N gene that have been identified in animal genomes.
