Implication

Retrospective case-finding study reveals absence of human infections with borna disease virus 1 in patients, indicating low prevalence.

Key Points

  • No human cases of borna disease virus 1 were detected in Austria, suggesting they may be very rare.
  • The study analyzed 859 cerebrospinal fluid samples and 366 serum samples, finding no evidence of the virus.
  • Retrospective case-finding study aimed to identify possible undetected infections linked to neurological symptoms.
  • Further research is needed in regions with endemic circulation to clarify the virus's presence in humans.
