| 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.

| CELO virus | <virology> A virus with characteristics of adenovirus, and similar to quail bronchitis virus. Synonym: chicken embryo lethal orphan virus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| medi virus | A retrovirus (subfamily Lentivirinae) that is the cause of maedi; it is very similar to the visna virus Synonym: medi virus, progressive pneumonia virus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Central European tick-borne encephalitis virus | One of the virus's of the tick-borne encephalitis complex of group B arboviruses (genus Flavivirus); the causative agent of tick-borne encephalitis (Central European subtype). (05 Mar 2000) |
| 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) |
| reticuloendotheliosis virus, avian | A species of reticuloendotheliosis viruses of the genus retroviruses type b, mammalian that causes a chronic neoplastic and a more acute immunosuppressive disease in fowl. (12 Dec 1998) |
| goatpox virus | A virus of the genus Capripoxvirus; the cause of goatpox. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Mengo virus | <virology> A strain of encephalomyocarditis virus, a species of cardiovirus, isolated from rodents and lagomorphs and occasionally causing febrile illness in man. (12 Dec 1998) |
| Chagres virus | A virus in the family Bunyaviridae, an agent of bunyavirus encephalitis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Graffi's virus | A mouse myeloleukaemia virus from filtrates of transplantable tumours; possibly related to Gross' virus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| 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) |
| chikungunya virus | A species of alphavirus causing an acute dengue-like fever. (12 Dec 1998) |
