Natural and Experimental Borna Disease in Animals

  • Chapter

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

Abstract

Borna disease (BD) is a transmissible, progressive polioencephalomyelitis of horses and sheep, which are the main natural hosts. It occurs sporadically in endemic areas of Germany and Switzerland, while its presence in other countries has not been fully substantiated.
