| respiratory syncytial virus, bovine | A species of pneumovirus causing an important respiratory infection in cattle. Symptoms include fever, conjunctivitis, and respiratory distress. (12 Dec 1998) |
| 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) |
| respiratory syncytial virus infections | Pneumovirus infections caused by the respiratory syncytial viruses. Humans and cattle are most affected but infections in goats and sheep have been reported. (12 Dec 1998) |
| VS virus | <virology> Rhabdovirus causing the disease soremouth in cattle. Widely used as a laboratory tool especially in studies on the spike glycoprotein as a model for the synthesis, post translational modification and export of membrane proteins. (18 Nov 1997) |

| chicken anaemia virus | The type species of circovirus, a small, non-enveloped DNA virus originally isolated from contaminated vaccines in japan. It causes chicken infectious anaemia and may possibly play a key role in haemorrhagic anaemia syndrome, anaemia dermatitis, and blue wing disease. (12 Dec 1998) |
| chicken embryo lethal orphan virus | <virology> A virus with characteristics of adenovirus, and similar to quail bronchitis virus. Synonym: chicken embryo lethal orphan virus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| chickenpox virus | A herpesvirus, morphologically identical to herpes simplex virus, that causes varicella (chickenpox) and herpes zoster in man; varicella results from a primary infection with the virus; herpes zoster results from secondary invasion by the same virus or by reactivation of infection which in many instances has been latent for many years. Synonym: chickenpox virus, herpes zoster virus, human herpesvirus 3. (05 Mar 2000) |
