Evidence provided by epidemiological and clinical data, together with virological studies, have led to the hypothesis that chronic viral infections of the CNS contribute to human mental disorders of unknown etiology. Therefore, neuronal damage seen in BD appears to be mediated by the cytotoxic activity of CD8 ϩ T-cells present in the brain parenchyma of BDV-infected rats. Studies on PTI-NB rats may provide valuable information regarding the contribution of CNS resident cells to disturbances in cytokine gene expression caused by BDV.
