| epidemic gastroenteritis virus | 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) |
| epidemic nonbacterial gastroenteritis | An epidemic, highly communicable but rather mild disease of sudden onset, caused by the epidemic gastroenteritis virus (especially Norwalk agent), with an incubation period of 16 to 48 hours and a duration of 1 to 2 days, which affects all age groups; infection is associated with some fever, abdominal cramps, nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, and headache, one or another of which may be predominant. Synonym: acute infectious nonbacterial gastroenteritis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| adenoviruses, canine | Species of the genus mastadenovirus that causes fever, oedema, vomiting, and diarrhoea in dogs and encephalitis in foxes. Epizootics have also been caused in bears, wolves, coyotes, and skunks. (12 Dec 1998) |
| canine | <zoology> Relating to, affecting, resembling or derived from a dog. (16 Dec 1997) |
| canine adenovirus 1 | A virus causing infectious canine hepatitis in dogs. Synonym: fox encephalitis virus, Rubarth's disease virus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| canine amoebiasis | Infection of dogs with Entamoeba histolytica acquired from man; dogs are seldom cyst passers, and therefore are not a reservoir for human infection. (05 Mar 2000) |
| canine babesiosis | Malignant fever in dogs caused by Babesia species. (05 Mar 2000) |
| canine borreliosis | A disease of dogs caused by Borrelia burgdorferi and characterised by lameness due to a migratory, intermittent, oligoarticular arthritis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| canine distemper | A highly contagious systemic disease of dogs caused by the canine distemper virus and characterised by a diphasic fever, leukopenia, gastrointestinal and respiratory catarrh and, frequently, pneumonic and neurological complications; the disease also occurs in foxes, wolves, ferrets, mink, skunks, and raccoons. Synonym: distemper. (05 Mar 2000) |
| canine distemper virus | An RNA virus of the genus Morbillivirus, a member of the family Paramyxoviridae, that causes canine distemper. Synonym: dog distemper virus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| canine dysautonomia | A newly recognised disease of dogs characterised by dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system. Synonym: Key-Gaskell syndrome. (05 Mar 2000) |
| canine ehrlichiosis | A fatal disease of dogs in Asia, Africa, and the U.S. Caused by Ehrlichia canis, transmitted by the tick Rhipicephalus sanguineus, and characterised by haemorrhage, pancytopenia, and emaciation. Synonym: tropical canine pancytopenia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| canine eminence | An elevation on the maxilla corresponding to the socket of the canine tooth. Synonym: canine prominence. (05 Mar 2000) |
