In a new study, scientists have explored key unanswered questions about the biology of Borna disease virus 1 (BoDV-1), a ...

Cases of Borna disease virus 1 (BoDV-1) are extremely rare in humans, but in those who develop disease, the outcome is severe, almost always resulting in fatal encephalitis or inflammation in the ...

Borna disease virus (BoDV-1) has long caused a fatal encephalitis known as Borna virus disease (BVD) in horses and sheep in Central Europe. This single-stranded RNA virus can infect the nervous system ...

Borna disease virus (BoDV-1) is an emerging neurotropic pathogen long known for causing severe encephalitis in animals such as horses and sheep, and more recently recognised as a zoonotic agent ...

At least eight people in Germany who died of encephalitis likely contracted a rare virus from shrews, a small mole-like animal, that led to the fatal brain-swelling condition often caused by a viral ...

Cases of Borna disease virus 1, or BoDV-1, are extremely rare in humans, but in those who develop disease the outcome is severe, almost always resulting in fatal encephalitis or inflammation in the ...

Researchers at Augsburg University Medicine have discovered a possible early detection method of the rare Borna virus. Their results have been published in The Lancet. In humans the virus triggers ...

Borna disease virus 1 (BoDV-1) is a neurologic disease of horses and sheep that causes rare human infections. The outcome in those who develop disease almost always results in inflammation in the ...

Findings uncover the architecture of a key viral complex, showing how RNA interaction and protein assembly drive replication ...
