Borna Disease—Neuropathology and Pathogenesis

  • Chapter
Borna Disease

Part of the book series: Current Topics in Microbiology and Immunology ((CT MICROBIOLOGY,volume 190))

Abstract

Histopathology has contributed substantially to the understanding of the nature of Borna disease (Seifried and Spatz 1930; Gosztonyi and Ludwig 1984a). The Borna disease virus (BDV) belongs to the single- and negative-stranded RNA viruses (Lipkin et al. 1990; de la Torre et al. 1990; Briese et al. 1992; Schneider et al. 1994); however, since it has not yet been visualized morphologically, its classification remains to be established. Although BDV has features of a conventional enveloped virus, it behaves in many respects in a way that has not been observed in any other viral agent. Its primary target is the nervous system, but it appears and apparently replicates in many other organs as well. Its spread is neural, i.e., axonal and transsynaptic. Depending on the virulence of the agent and on the immunological status of the host, several clinical courses of the disease and several types of histopathological manifestations are known (Ludwig et al. 1985, 1988). In nature, the disease occurs in horses and sheep. A similar syndrome was recently found in cats (Lundgren and Ludwig 1993; Lundgren et al. 1993) and ostriches (Malkinson et al. 1993). Borna disease can be transmitted experimentally to a series of animal species from birds to primates (Ludwig et. al. 1988). Serological studies indicate that human BDV infections also exist (see chapter by Bode).
