Dear reader, The recent report on a veterinarian bitten by a horse seropositive to Borna Disease Virus-1 (BoDV-1) in the Netherlands (Sloet van Oldruitenborgh-Oosterbaan et al. 2018) draws attention to the zoonotic potential of this virus. BoDV-1, the cause of most cases of mammalian Borna disease, is a RNA virus that replicates within the nucleus of target cells. It causes severe, often lethal, encephalitis in susceptible species (Tizard et al. 2016). Recently, three breeders of variegated squirrels (Sciurus variegatoides) in Germany had encephalitis with similar clinical signs and died 2–4months after onset of the clinical symptoms associated with variegated squirrel 1 Bornavirus (VSBV-1) (Hoffmann et al. 2015). In addition, in psittacine birds with proventricular dilatation disease (PDD) a severe lymphoplasmacytic ganglioneuritis of the gastrointestinal tract is frequently accompanied by encephalomyelitis associated with avian Bornavirus (ABV) (Staeheli et al. 2010). These recent events have revived interest in this remarkable family of viruses (Tizard et al. 2016). BoDV is an enveloped, nonsegmented negativestranded neurotropic RNA virus classified in the virus order Mononegavirales similar to rabies virus. Borna disease was first described as a meningoencephalitis of horses. The name Borna reflects outbreaks in the vicinity of the town Borna, in Saxony, Germany, wherein large numbers of animals died in the late 1800s (Lipkin et al. 2011). Furthermore, Borna disease has also been reported in sheep, cattle, llamas, cats, dogs and ostriches. Because an even larger variety of species has been experimentally infected, including rabbits, birds and primates, the potential host range includes all warm-blooded animals. Natural BoDV infection has been reported primarily in Europe (Lipkin and Briese 2007). Of note, signs of BoDV infection, including antibodies, antigen, RNA and/or virus itself, have been reported from animals in many continents. The highest clinical incidence in animals and the verified classical Borna disease cases, however, are restricted to central Europe (Staeheli et al. 2000; Pawaiya et al. 2010; Kinnunen et al. 2013). Shrews are regarded as reservoir hosts of BoDV (Hilbe et al. 2006). The incidence of Borna disease in horses and sheep peaks in March to June (Kinnunen et al. 2013). An olfactory route for transmission has been proposed because intranasal infection is efficient and the olfactory bulbs of naturally infected horses show inflammation and edema early in the course of disease (Ludwig et al. 1988). In man, herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1), human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6), Borna disease virus, rabies virus and influenza A virus have also been shown to take the olfactory route for neuroinvasion (Mori 2015). After an incubation period lasting a few weeks to several months, BoDV infection can cause locomotor and sensory dysfunction followed by paralysis and death (Richt et al. 2000). The neurological course in horses usually begins with excitability or depression and ends with severe excitability, aggressiveness or lethargy, and circling, paresis, paralysis, somnolence, stupor and coma (Kinnunen et al. 2013). Fever (see Figure 1), anorexia and ataxia are characteristically described (Katz et al. 1998; Pawaiya et al. 2010; Kinnunen et al. 2013). Blindness due to loss of photoreceptors (Dietzel et al. 2007) and colic have also been reported (Kinnunen et al. 2013). It should be realized that the infection with BoDV in horses can exist without associated clinical symptoms. Furthermore, the majority of natural BoDV infections occur unnoticed as approximately 43% of the infected horses were clinically ill (Dieckh€ ofer 2008). Ponies infected experimentally with BoDV through intracerebral inoculation seroconvert one-month post inoculation (Katz et al. 1998). Of note, it has been stated that infected animals produce BoDVspecific antibodies only after virus replication (Richt and Rott 2001). The ensuing period of neurologic dysfunction ranged from 3 to 16 days following intracerebral injection and two ponies died after rapid onset of these signs 28–30 days post inoculation (Katz et al. 1998). Well known are the pathognomonic Joest-Degen inclusion bodies in the post mortem brains (Dietzel et al. 2007). Rabies virus causes an acute lethal encephalomyelitis with only minor inflammatory reaction, whereas infection with BoDV results in persistent CNS infection characterized by massive infiltration of inflammatory cells (Fu et al. 1993). Furthermore, rabies virus infects only neurons, whereas BoDV also infects glial cells (Gosztonyi et al. 1993). The nucleocytoplasmic transport of BoDV macromolecules is an essential component of the life cycle of BoDV (De La Torre 2002). While in the later phases of replication complete rabies virions are regularly assembled, BoDV propagates within the central nervous system in an incomplete form, so that it remains morphologically imperceptible. Thus, BoDV may appear in a complete, enveloped form only when exiting the host organism. It remains unresolved, why BoDV readily infects non-neuronal central nervous
