Rat Model of Borna Disease Virus Transmission: Epidemiological Implications

Christian Sauder* and Peter Staeheli*

Department of Virology, University of Freiburg, D-79104 Freiburg, Germany

Received 6 June 2003/ Accepted 3 September 2003

Rapid transmission of Borna disease virus occurred upon cohabitation of persistently infected and naive rats. Infectious virus, which was abundantly present in fresh urine samples of carrier rats, entered the brains of recipient rats via the olfactory route. Thus, susceptible farm animals possibly acquire the virus from persistently infected rats.
