| virus replication | The process of intracellular viral multiplication, consisting of the synthesis of proteins, nucleic acids, and sometimes lipids, and their assembly into a new infectious particle. (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| virus shedding | The expelling of virus particles from the body. Important routes include the respiratory tract, genital tract, and intestinal tract. Virus shedding is an important means of vertical transmission (disease transmission, vertical). (12 Dec 1998) |
| virus X disease | A term applied to a number of virus disease's of obscure aetiology, e.g., Australian X disease (Murray Valley encephalitis). (05 Mar 2000) |
| virus, human papilloma | A family of over 60 viruses responsible for causing warts. The majority of the viruses produce warts on the hands, fingers, and even the face. most of these viruses are innocuous, causing nothing more than cosmetic concerns. Several types of HPV are confined primarily to the moist skin of the genitals, producing genital warts and elevating the risk for cancer of the cervix. These viruses that cause wartlike growths on the genitals and contribute to cancer of the cervix are sexually transmitted. (12 Dec 1998) |
| virus, respiratory syncytial | A virus that causes mild respiratory infections (colds and coughs) in adults but in young children can produce severe respiratory problems (bronchitis and pneumonia). Effective immunity against rsv requires a continuous solid level of antibodies against the virus. There is particular concern for rsv in premature babies because of their lack of maturity and lack of antibodies. (12 Dec 1998) |
| virus-associated haemophagocytic syndrome | <syndrome> A syndrome closely resembling malignant histiocytosis but potentially reversible, following a herpes group virus infection such as by the Epstein-Barr virus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| virus-transformed cell | A cell that has been genetically changed to a tumour cell, the change being subsequently tramsmitted to all descendent cell's; cell's transformed by oncornaviruses continue to produce virus in high concentration without being killed; DNA tumour virus-transformed cell's develop (along with other changes) tumour-associated antigens and rarely produce virus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| viruses | <microbiology, virology> An ultra-microscopic micro-organism, parasitic within living cells and of which many can cause disease in humans. They consist of a strand of nucleic acid (DNA or RNA) that contains genetic instructions concerning viral reproduction that is enveloped by a protein coat. Cellular rupture (and death) liberates the newly from viruses. (13 Oct 1997) |
| viruses, unclassified | Viruses whose taxonomic relationships have not been established. (12 Dec 1998) |
| virusoid | <molecular biology, virology> A type of small (300-400 nucleotides) single-stranded RNA found in the virions of some plant viruses. (09 Oct 1997) |
