| murine leprosy | A slowly but progressively fatal form of leprosy occurring in rats, caused by Mycobacterium lepraemurium; it appears in two forms, glandular and musculocutaneous; causes induration, alopecia, and eventually ulceration. Synonym: mouse leprosy, murine leprosy. (05 Mar 2000) |

| murine leukaemia | A leukaemic disorder of mice caused by a number of different type C retroviruses. (05 Mar 2000) |
| murine typhus | An acute infectious disease with fever, headache, and rash, all quite similar to, but milder than, epidemic typhus, caused by a related microoganism, rickettsia typhi (mooseri), transmitted to humans by rat fleas (xenopsylla cheopis). The animal reservoir includes rats, mice and other rodents. Murine typhus occurs sporadically worldwide but is more prevalent in congested rat-infested urban areas. Also known as endemic typhus, rat-flea typhus; urban typhus of malaya). (12 Dec 1998) |
| sarcoma viruses, murine | Species of replication-defective mammalian type c retroviruses (retroviruses type c, mammalian) which are capable of transforming cells, but which replicate and produce tumours only in the presence of murine leukaemia viruses (leukaemia viruses, murine). (12 Dec 1998) |
| transmissible murine colonic hyperplasia | A disease of young mice caused by the bacterium Citrobacter freundii and characterised by diarrhoea and mucosal hyperplasia of the descending colon. (05 Mar 2000) |
| tumour viruses, murine | Species of mammalian type c retroviruses (retroviruses type c, mammalian) that cause solid tumours or leukaemias in mice. (12 Dec 1998) |
| typhus, murine | An acute infectious disease with fever, headache, and rash, all quite similar to, but milder than, epidemic typhus, caused by a related microoganism, rickettsia typhi (mooseri), transmitted to humans by rat fleas (xenopsylla cheopis). The animal reservoir includes rats, mice and other rodents. Murine typhus occurs sporadically worldwide but is more prevalent in congested rat-infested urban areas. Also known as endemic typhus, rat-flea typhus, and urban typhus of malaya. (12 Dec 1998) |
| Friend murine erythroleukaemia cell | <cell culture> Lines of mouse erythroblasts transformed by the Friend virus, that can be induced to differentiate terminally, producing haemoglobin, by various agents such as dimethyl sulphoxide. (18 Nov 1997) |
| leukaemia viruses, murine | Species of mammalian type c retroviruses (retroviruses type c, mammalian) producing leukaemia in mice. It is commonly induced by injecting filtrates of propagable tumours into newborn mice. The gross strain (gross virus) occurs spontaneously in inbred mice, but none of the other strains occurs naturally. (12 Dec 1998) |
| bovine virus diarrhoea virus | A virus of the genus Pestivirus, in the family Togaviridae, causing bovine virus diarrhoea; New York, Oregon, and Indiana strains of the virus are recognised. Synonym: mucosal disease virus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| adeno-associated virus | <virology> A genus of viruses in the family Parvoviridae which are all defective viruses (unable to replicate by themselves) and depend on the co-infection of their host cell by other, nondefective viruses to help them replicate. (09 Oct 1997) |
| adenoidal-pharyngeal-conjunctival virus | <virology> An icosahedral (20-sided) virus that contains DNA, there are over 40 different adenovirus varieties, some of which cause the common cold. (10 May 1997) |
| adenosatellite virus | <virology> A genus of viruses in the family Parvoviridae which are all defective viruses (unable to replicate by themselves) and depend on the co-infection of their host cell by other, nondefective viruses to help them replicate. (09 Oct 1997) |
| african horse sickness virus | A species of orbivirus that causes disease in horses, mules, and donkeys. (12 Dec 1998) |
| african swine fever virus | The lone species of the genus african swine fever-like viruses. The virus causes a fatal disease among domestic pigs in africa and a less virulent infection in europe. The virus is present in soft ticks (ornithodoros moubata), warthogs, or domestic pigs. Originally listed as a species of iridoviridae, the virus exhibits some similarities to poxviridae but its differences warranted placement in a separate genus of an, as yet unknown, family.
