In reply to What about Borna Virus? Any Updates?, posted by rod on January 13, 2004, at 16:44:12
Today, I talked to a virologist at veterinary university, and she told me that they recently made a study and tested 300 people from a local hospital for Borna Virus. Only 1 was positive. She further told me, that *50%* of Japanese (I cant remember it clearly, maybe she said asian in general, but I think japanese is right) are infected with borna virus! So I guess there is really no clear connection between dression or other mental disorders and Borna.
They also test me for Borna + Antibodies (just ~60 euro). Was quite a funny story. I had to bring my own blood samples, which my family doctor has made. The veterinarian arent allowed to do that.
In a week, I will have my results. I will tell you, if I am Borna Positvegreetings
