| human T-cell lymphoma/leukaemia virus | A group of viruses (subfamily Oncovirinae, family Retroviridae) that are lymphotropic with a selective affinity for the helper/inducer cell subset of T lymphocytes and that are associated with adult T-cell leukaemia and lymphoma. Synonym: human T-cell lymphotropic virus. (05 Mar 2000) |

| human T-cell lymphotropic virus | A group of viruses (subfamily Oncovirinae, family Retroviridae) that are lymphotropic with a selective affinity for the helper/inducer cell subset of T lymphocytes and that are associated with adult T-cell leukaemia and lymphoma. Synonym: human T-cell lymphotropic virus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| human T lymphotrophic virus | A virus that has a predilection for human lymphoid cells. (05 Mar 2000) |
| human t-lymphotropic virus | <virology> Type i: A human, single-stranded RNA retrovirus from the subfamily Oncovirinae which causes adult T-cell leukaemia and T-cell lymphoma and may also be involved in certain demyelinating diseases (diseases where the protective myelin sheath around nerve fibres are destroyed). HTLV-I is closely related to HTLV-II (60% of their genomes are identical). Type II: A human, single-stranded RNA retrovirus from the subfamily Oncovirinae which may cause diseases such as T-cell leukaemia and T-cell lymphoma (but this has not been proven). HTLV-II is closely related to HTLV I (60% of their genomes are identical). Type III: An obsolete term for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), which causes Acquired Immunity Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS). Acronym: HTLV (09 Oct 1997) |
| influenza a virus, human | Strains of influenza a virus causing influenza and sometimes pneumonia in humans. Transmission is by aerosol. (12 Dec 1998) |
| enteric cytopathogenic human orphan virus | eCHO virus |
| gastroenteritis virus type A | A RNA virus, about 27 nm in diameter, which has not been cultured in vitro; it is the cause of epidemic nonbacterial gastroenteritis; at least five antigenically distinct serotypes have been recognised, including the Norwalk agent. These viruses are probably classified with the Caliciviruses in the family Caliciviridae. Synonym: gastroenteritis virus type A. (05 Mar 2000) |
| gastroenteritis virus type B | <virology> Genus of the Reoviridae having a double layered capsid and 11 double stranded RNA molecules in the genome. They have a wheel like appearance in the electron microscope and cause acute diarrhoeal disease in their mammalian and avian hosts. Probably the most important cause of severe dehydrating diarrhoea in children under three years of age worldwide. Symptoms include nausea, vomiting, low-grade fever and diarrhoea. Aggressive fluid replacement is generally required. (27 Sep 1997) |

| C type virus | <molecular biology, virology> Originally C type particles identified in mouse tumour tissue and later shown to be oncogenic RNA viruses Oncovirinae) that bud from the plasma membrane of the host cell starting as a characteristic electron dense crescent. Include feline leukaemia virus, murine leukaemia and sarcoma viruses. (18 Nov 1997) |
| herpes simplex virus type 1 UL13 protein kinase | <enzyme> Phosphorylates icp22 and involved in the accumulation of alpha and gamma mrnas and proteins in the infected cells; aa sequence has been determined Registry number: EC 2.7.1.- Synonym: ul13 protein kinase, hsv-1, hsv-1 ul13 protein, hsv-1 ul13 pk, u(l)13 protein kinase, protein kinase ul13 (26 Jun 1999) |
| 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) |
| adenoviruses, human | Species of the genus mastadenovirus, causing a wide range of diseases in humans. Infections are mostly asymptomatic, but can be associated with diseases of the respiratory, ocular, and gastrointestinal systems. (12 Dec 1998) |
| adenovirus infections, human | Respiratory and conjunctival infections caused by 33 identified serotypes of human adenoviruses. (12 Dec 1998) |
