Borna disease virus

Bor·na dis·ease vi·rus

an unclassified negative sense single-stranded RNA virus that is the cause of Borna disease, a serious disease of horses that involves infection of the central nervous system.

Synonym(s): enzootic encephalomyelitis virus

[Borna, Saxony, Germany]

Bornavirus

A small nonsegmented, negative-sense, single-stranded RNA virus, which infects a broad range of warm-blooded animals and is capable of replicating within the host nuclus.
