| cold virus | Any of the numerous strains of virus aetiologically associated with the common cold, chiefly the rhinoviruses, but also strains of adenovirus, Coxsackievirus, ECHO virus, and parainfluenza virus. Synonym: cold virus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| WEE virus | A group A arbovirus of the genus Alphavirus, family Togaviridae, occurring in the western United States and parts of South America; it occurs naturally, usually as a symptomless infection in birds, but causes western equine encephalomyelitis in horses and humans following transfer by the bites of mosquitoes, chiefly Culex tarsalis. Synonym: WEE virus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| colourado tick fever virus | A species of reovirus transmitted by the tick dermacentor andersonii and causing fever, chills, aching head and limbs, and often vomiting. It occurs in the northwestern united states, except the pacific coast. (12 Dec 1998) |
| columbia sk virus | A strain of encephalomyocarditis virus, a species of cardiovirus, that infects rodents. (12 Dec 1998) |
| Wesselsbron disease virus | A mosquito-borne group B arbovirus of the genus Flavivirus causing Wesselsbron fever. (05 Mar 2000) |
| western equine encephalomyelitis virus | A group A arbovirus of the genus Alphavirus, family Togaviridae, occurring in the western United States and parts of South America; it occurs naturally, usually as a symptomless infection in birds, but causes western equine encephalomyelitis in horses and humans following transfer by the bites of mosquitoes, chiefly Culex tarsalis. Synonym: WEE virus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| West Nile encephalitis virus | Caused by a virus in the family Flaviviridae. Synonym: West Nile virus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| west nile virus | A species of flavivirus, one of the japanese encephalitis virus group (encephalitis viruses, japanese), which produces encephalitis experimentally when inoculated into some rodents, chicks, birds, or monkeys. In humans, it is seen most frequently in africa, asia, and europe presenting as a silent infection or undifferentiated fever (west nile fever). It is transmitted by culex spp mosquitoes. (12 Dec 1998) |
| common cold virus | Any of the numerous strains of virus aetiologically associated with the common cold, chiefly the rhinoviruses, but also strains of adenovirus, Coxsackievirus, ECHO virus, and parainfluenza virus. Synonym: cold virus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| mouse encephalomyelitis virus | A virus of the genus Enterovirus, family Picornaviridae, normally associated with inapparent infections and found in the intestinal tracts of infected mice, occasionally causing mouse encephalomyelitis in experimentally inoculated susceptible mice. Synonym: mouse poliomyelitis virus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| mouse hepatitis virus | A coronavirus, in the family Coronaviridae, that in the presence of Eperythrozoon coccoides causes fatal hepatitis in newly weaned mice; otherwise causes inapparent infection. (05 Mar 2000) |
| mouse mammary tumour virus | 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) |
| mouse parotid tumour virus | <virology> A papovavirus (genus Polyomavirus, family Papovaviridae) which is a DNA tumour virus with very small genome. Polyoma was isolated from mice, in which it causes no obvious disease, but when injected at high titre into baby rodents, including mice, it causes tumours of a wide variety of histological types (hence polyoma). In vitro, infected mouse cells are permissive for virus replication and thus are killed, whilst hamster cells undergo abortive infection and at a low frequency become transformed. It is capable of producing parotid tumours in mice and sarcomas in hamsters as well as tumours in other laboratory animals. Synonym: mouse parotid tumour virus. (22 Sep 2002) |
| mouse poliomyelitis virus | A virus of the genus Enterovirus, family Picornaviridae, normally associated with inapparent infections and found in the intestinal tracts of infected mice, occasionally causing mouse encephalomyelitis in experimentally inoculated susceptible mice. Synonym: mouse poliomyelitis virus. (05 Mar 2000) |
