It is controversial whether BDV infects humans and causes psychiatric disorders. Objective: We searched for BDV-derived nucleic acids in blood of race horses and jockeys riding the horses. Methods: We assayed for the BDV genome in RNA extracted from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) of 39 race horses and 48 jockeys. Two polymerase chain reaction protocols [one-tube reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and two-step RT-PCR] were used to assay BDV p24 and p...
