Area of Science:

  • Virology
  • Neuroscience
  • Epidemiology

Background:

  • Borna disease virus (BDV) is a nonsegmented, negative-strand RNA virus with a wide animal host range.
  • BDV infection in animals causes neurological and behavioral abnormalities.
  • A potential association between BDV and human neuropsychiatric disorders has been proposed.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review recent advancements in Borna disease virus research.
  • To focus on the evidence of Borna disease virus infection in humans.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of recent scientific publications.
  • Analysis of studies investigating Borna disease virus in human populations.

Main Results:

  • Borna disease virus has been detected in various animal species.
  • Evidence suggests a possible link between Borna disease virus and certain human neuropsychiatric conditions.
  • Further research is ongoing to clarify the role of Borna disease virus in human health.

Conclusions:

  • Borna disease virus is an important pathogen with implications for both animal and potentially human health.
  • The review highlights the need for continued investigation into the human-Borna disease virus association.
  • Understanding the epidemiology and pathogenesis of Borna disease virus is crucial for public health.
