| visna-maedi virus | A species of lentivirus, subgenus ovine-caprine lentiviruses (lentiviruses, ovine-caprine), that can cause chronic pneumonia (maedi), mastitis, arthritis, and encephalomyelitis (visna) in sheep. Maedi is a progressive pneumonia of sheep which is similar to but not the same as jaagsiekte (pulmonary adenomatosis, ovine). Visna is a demyelinating leukoencephalomyelitis of sheep which is similar to but not the same as scrapie. (12 Dec 1998) |

| visna virus | <virology> A virus in the subfamily Lentivirinae which causes encephalitis andchronic pneumonitis in sheep. (09 Oct 1997) |
| REO virus | <virology> A genus of viruses (family Reoviridae) that are 75 to 80 nm in diameter, with distinct double layers of capsomeres, and have vertebrates as hosts; a causative relationship to illness has not been proven. They have been recovered from children with mild fever and sometimes diarrhoea, and from children with no apparent infection; from chimpanzees with coryza; monkeys and mice; and cattle faeces. There are three antigenically distinct human types related by a common complement-fixing antigen.

| respiratory syncytial virus | <virology> This RNA virus is a member of the Paramyxoviridae family and is a major pathogen in the upper and lower respiratory tract in both infants and younger children. Respiratory syncytial virus manifestations include bronchiolitis, pneumonia and croup. Acronym: RSV (27 Sep 1997) |

| respiratory syncytial virus, human | The type species of pneumovirus and an important cause of lower respiratory disease in infants and young children. It frequently presents with bronchitis and bronchopneumonia and is further characterised by fever, cough, dyspnea, wheezing, and pallor. (12 Dec 1998) |
