| peste des petits ruminants virus | A highly contagious systemic disease of sheep and goats in West Africa, caused by a morbillivirus called peste des petits ruminants virus.

| Guama virus | A serologic group of the genus Bunyavirus, composed of 6 species including Catu virus, and the type strain, Guama virus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Guaroa virus | A virus of the Bunyamwera group of the genus Bunyavirus, and an agent of bunyavirus encephalitis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| RNA tumour virus | The family of retroviruses (Retroviridae) that can cause tumours. They are enveloped by membrane derived from the plasma membrane of the host cell, from which they are released by budding without lysing the cell. Within each virion is a pair of single stranded RNA molecules. Replication involves a DNA intermediate made on an RNA template by the enzyme reverse transcriptase. (18 Nov 1997) |
| RNA virus | A group of virus's in which the core consists of RNA; a major group of animal virus's that includes the families Picornaviridae, Reoviridae, Togaviridae, Flaviviridae, Bunyaviridae, Arenaviridae, Paramyxoviridae, Retroviridae, Coronaviridae, Orthomyxoviridae, and Rhabdoviridae. Synonym: ribovirus. (05 Mar 2000) |
