| rabbit fibroma virus | A poxvirus of the genus Leporipoxvirus, closely related to vaccinia and myxoma viruses, that causes Shope fibroma. Synonym: fibromatosis virus of rabbits, Shope fibroma virus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| rabbit myxoma virus | The poxvirus of the genus Leporipoxvirus causing myxomatosis of rabbits. Synonym: myxomatosis virus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| rabbitpox virus | An orthopoxvirus that causes epidemics of pox in laboratory rabbits; immunologically, it is closely related to vaccinia virus but is more virulent in rabbits. (05 Mar 2000) |
| rabies virus | <organism, virology> Species of the Rhabdoviridae that causes rabies in humans. The virus infects the cells in the brain, causing a fatal encephalomyelitis. It is found all over the world, but strict quarantine regulations have excluded it from Britain and Australia. The virus infects a number of domestic and wild mammals, whose saliva is infective. Some bats and small mammals can carry the virus without showing any symptoms of disease. (18 Nov 1997) |
| vaccinia virus | <molecular biology, virology> DNA viruses used in several biotechnology applications, including expression vector systems. Because they can hold quite a lot of DNA, they can be used to make more than one protein at once in a cell, which can be useful for making proteins with more than one polypeptide chain. (14 Nov 1997) |
| Machupo virus | <virology> A member of the Arenaviridae that may cause a severe haemorrhagic fever in humans. The natural hosts are rodents and transmission from human to human is not common. (18 Nov 1997) |
| Pacheco's parrot disease virus | Probably a virus of the family Herpesviridae, possibly related to the virus of infectious laryngotracheitis. Synonym: parrot virus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| vacuolating virus | Any of a number of virus's, belonging to various families, isolated from monkeys or from cultures of monkey cells. Synonym: vacuolating virus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| radiation leukaemia virus | A murine leukaemia virus isolated from radiation-induced lymphomas in c57bl mice. It is leukemogenic, thymotrophic, can be transmitted vertically, and replicates only in vivo. (12 Dec 1998) |
| gallus adeno-like virus | A virus with characteristics of adenovirus, not known to be associated with natural disease. Synonym: gallus adeno-like virus. (05 Mar 2000) |
