| Russian autumn encephalitis virus | A virus of the genus Flavivirus (group B arbovirus) occurring particularly in Japan but probably widespread throughout Southeast Asia; the virus is normally present in humans, especially in children, as an inapparent infection, but may cause febrile response and sometimes encephalitis; it may cause encephalitis in horses and abortion in pigs; wild birds are probably the natural hosts and culicine mosquitoes the vectors. Synonym: Russian autumn encephalitis virus. (05 Mar 2000) |

| Russian spring-summer encephalitis virus | An arbovirus of the genus Flavivirus that occurs in Central Europe and the USSR in two subtypes, causing two forms of encephalitis in humans: tick-borne encephalitis (Central European subtype) and tick-borne encephalitis (Eastern subtype); the vectors are ticks of the genus Ixodes. Synonym: Russian spring-summer encephalitis virus, tick-borne virus. (05 Mar 2000) |

| moloney leukaemia virus | A murine virus arising during the propagation of s37 mouse sarcoma, and causing lymphoid leukaemia in mice. It also infects rats and newborn hamsters and is apparently transmitted vertically to embryos in utero and through mother's milk. (12 Dec 1998) |
| Moloney murine leukaemia virus | <molecular biology, virology> Replication competent retrovirus (Oncovirinae) that causes leukaemia in mice, isolated by Moloney from cell free extracts made from a transplantable mouse sarcoma. (18 Nov 1997) |
| Moloney murine sarcoma virus | <molecular biology, virology> Replication defective retrovirus, source of the oncogene v mos, responsible for inducing fibrosarcomas in vivo and transforming cells in culture. (18 Nov 1997) |
| moloney sarcoma virus | A replication-defective murine sarcoma virus (sarcoma viruses, murine) isolated from a rhabdomyosarcoma by moloney in 1966. (12 Dec 1998) |

| monkey B virus | A herpesvirus, in the family Herpesviridae, affecting Old World monkeys, that is very similar morphologically to herpes simplex virus; fatal infection may occur in humans following the bite of an infected monkey, although other modes of transmission have also been documented. Synonym: monkey B virus. (05 Mar 2000) |
