borna disease

基本解释

If a virus was responsible for borna disease, Dr. Lipkin reasoned, he might be able to find its genes in an infected brain.
利普金博士解釋道，要鋻別一種病毒是不是博爾納病毒，首先要從感染的大腦裡提取基因。
Borna disease had first been discovered in horses in the late 1800s; it attacks their brains and causes them to flail uncontrollably.
博爾納病在十七世紀晚期，在馬身上首次發現；病毒會進入馬的大腦裡，讓馬發狂，失控。
If these were proteins from the source of borna disease, then infected animals might have made antibodies precisely tailored to grab onto them.
如果這些蛋白質源自博爾納病毒基因，那麽感染動物會産生抗躰精確的剪切這些細菌的基因。

a viral disease of mammals, especially horses, caused by a member of the Flaviviridae and characterized by the development of encephalitis
