| variola virus | <virology> Virus responsible for smallpox. Said to have been completely eradicated. Large DNA virus (brick like, 250-390nm x 20-260nm) with complex outer and inner membranes (not derived from plasma membrane of host cell). (18 Nov 1997) |
| malignant catarrhal fever virus | A herpesvirus of wide distribution causing malignant catarrhal fever of cattle; sheep and wildebeests harbor inapparent infections and may transmit the virus to cattle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| panleukopenia virus of cats | A virus of the genus Parvovirus that causes panleukopenia; the virus infects all Felidae, raccoons and mink, but not dogs or other Canidae. Synonym: cat distemper virus, panleukopenia virus of cats. (05 Mar 2000) |
| VEE virus | A group A arbovirus of the genus Alphavirus, family Togaviridae, occurring in Venezuela and several other South American countries, in Panama and Trinidad, and occasionally the United States causing Venezuelan equine encephalomyelitis in horses and humans; it seems to be more viscerotropic than neurotropic; the virus is transmitted by Culex mosquitoes. Synonym: VEE virus. (05 Mar 2000) |

| papilloma virus, bovine | A species of papilloma virus producing large numbers of warts on calves. Connective tissue proliferation is an important component of the warts. (12 Dec 1998) |
| papilloma virus, cottontail rabbit | The type species of papilloma virus. It is reported to occur naturally in cottontail rabbits in north america. (12 Dec 1998) |
| papilloma virus, human | A family of over 60 viruses responsible forcausing 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 contrribute to cancer of the cervix are sexually transmitted. (12 Dec 1998) |
| mammary cancer virus of mice | Member of the retrovirus subfamily Oncornavirinae, antigenically distinct from the murine leukaemia-sarcoma complex, that is associated with adenocarcinomatous tumours of the mammary gland, commonly latent in wild and laboratory mice and causing cancer only in genetically susceptible strains under certain hormonal influences. Synonym: Bittner agent, Bittner virus, Bittner's milk factor, mammary cancer virus of mice, milk factor, mouse mammary tumour virus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| mammary tumour virus | <organism, virology> Retrovirus that induces mammary carcinoma in mice. Isolated from highly inbred strains that had very high incidence of the tumours, after the discovery that the disease was transmitted by nursing mothers in milk. Endogenous provirus present in germ line of all inbred mice. Transcription of the provirus is regulated by a viral promoter that increases transcription in response to glucocorticoid hormones. May transform by proviral insertion activating the cellular int 1 oncogene (18 Nov 1997) |
| mammary tumour virus of mice | Member of the retrovirus subfamily Oncornavirinae, antigenically distinct from the murine leukaemia-sarcoma complex, that is associated with adenocarcinomatous tumours of the mammary gland, commonly latent in wild and laboratory mice and causing cancer only in genetically susceptible strains under certain hormonal influences.
