RESUMO

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.
