high prevalence of borna disease virus infection in healthy sheep in japan.previous seroepidemiological and molecular epidemiological studies of borna disease virus (bdv) showed considerably high rates of infection in horses, cattle, cats, and humans in hokkaido, japan. here, we further demonstrate high rates of specific antibodies to bdv and bdv rna in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (pbmcs) from healthy sheep bred on the same island. the bdv prevalences by immunoblotting and/or reverse transcriptase pcr were 0% (0 of 19) in newborns (<1 month old), 51.7% (15 of 29 ...19979144374
epidemiological survey of border disease virus among sheep from northern districts of japan.the first epidemiological survey of border disease virus (bdv) was undertaken in small ruminants in japan. ovine sera, collected from the northern prefectures of hokkaido, aomori and iwate, were examined for the presence of antibodies against bdv using the neutralization peroxidase-linked antibody test. twenty-nine (17.6%) of one hundred and sixty-five samples were seropositive for bdv. results were specific, excluding cross-reactions with bovine viral diarrhea virus (bvdv). only one sample (0.6 ...201121778667
