| human herpesvirus 3 | 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) |

| human herpesvirus 4 | <virology> Species of Herpetoviridae that is responsible for infectious mononucleosis (glandular fever). Discovered in 1964, this virus has been associated with Burkitt's lymphoma in South African children and with nasopharyngeal carcinoma in Asian populations. (27 Sep 1997) |
| human herpesvirus 5 | <virology> Probably the most widespread of the Herpetoviridae group. Infected cells enlarge and have a characteristic inclusion body (composed of virus particles) in the nucleus. Causes disease only in utero (leading to abortion or stillbirth or to various congenital defects), although can be opportunistic in the immunocompromised host. Patients who have been exposed to the virus will remain cytomegalovirus IgG positive. Acronym: CMV (30 Sep 1997) |
| human herpesvirus 6 | A recently discovered human herpesvirus that was found in certain lymphoproliferative disorders, replicates in a number of different types of leukocytes, and is associated with the childhood disease roseola (exanthema subitum). (05 Mar 2000) |
| human herpesvirus 7 | This virus has recently been discovered in association with human lymphocytes; however, a causal relationship to any known disease has not been determined. (05 Mar 2000) |
| suid herpesvirus | The causative agent of pseudorabies. (05 Mar 2000) |

| Venezuelan equine encephalomyelitis | A form of mosquito-borne equine encephalomyelitis found in parts of South America, Panama, and Trinidad, caused by the Venezuelan equine encephalomyelitis virus (a species of Alphavirus in the family Togaviridae), and characterised by less central nervous system involvement than occurs in either eastern or western equine encephalomyelitis; fever, diarrhoea, and depression are common; in man, there is fever and severe headache after an incubation period of 2 to 5 days, and in a few cases there has been central nervous system involvement. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Venezuelan equine encephalomyelitis virus | A group A arbovirus of the genus Alphavirus, family Togaviridae, occurring in Venezuela and several other South American countries, in Panama and Trinidad, and occasionally the United States causing Venezuelan equine encephalomyelitis in horses and humans; it seems to be more viscerotropic than neurotropic; the virus is transmitted by Culex mosquitoes. Synonym: VEE virus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| gonadotropins, equine | Polypeptide hormones secreted in pregnant mares at the junction of the placenta and endometrial cups. Preparations of this taken from the blood serum of pregnant mares have been used in the treatment of infertility, pituitary dwarfism, cryptorchidism, and other conditions in both human males and females. (12 Dec 1998) |
| rhinoviruses, equine | A group of viruses of the family picornaviridae, yet unclassified as to genus, though not a member of rhinovirus. They cause a disease in horses characterised by rhinitis, pharyngitis, and fever. (12 Dec 1998) |
| western equine encephalomyelitis | An equine encephalomyelitis found in the western U.S. And parts of South America, transmitted by mosquitoes and caused by the western equine encephalomyelitis virus (a species of Alphavirus in the family Togaviridae); the infection is similar to but milder than eastern equine encephalomyelitis in man and is, as a rule, inapparent, but some cases with central nervous system involvement have been fatal. (05 Mar 2000) |
| western equine encephalomyelitis virus | A group A arbovirus of the genus Alphavirus, family Togaviridae, occurring in the western United States and parts of South America; it occurs naturally, usually as a symptomless infection in birds, but causes western equine encephalomyelitis in horses and humans following transfer by the bites of mosquitoes, chiefly Culex tarsalis. Synonym: WEE virus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| strongyle infections, equine | Infection of horses with parasitic nematodes of the superfamily strongyloidea. Characteristics include the development of haemorrhagic nodules on the abdominal peritoneum. (12 Dec 1998) |
| infectious anaemia virus, equine | A species of lentivirus, subgenus equine lentiviruses (lentiviruses, equine), causing acute and chronic infection in horses. It is transmitted mechanically by biting flies, mosquitoes, and midges, and iatrogenically through unsterilised equipment. Chronic infection often consists of acute episodes with remissions.
