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.
利普金博士解释道，要鉴别一种病毒是不是博尔纳病毒，首先要从感染的大脑里提取基因。
Borna disease had first been discovered in horses in the late 1800s; it attacks their brains and causes them to flail uncontrollably.
博尔纳病在十七世纪晚期，在马身上首次发现；病毒会进入马的大脑里，让马发狂，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.
如果这些蛋白质源自博尔纳病毒基因，那么感染动物会产生抗体精确的剪切这些细菌的基因。

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