| EAV | equine abortion virus |
| equine virus abortion | A highly contagious abortion of mares, caused by equine rhinopneumonitis virus, a member of the family Herpesviridae. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| avian infectious laryngotracheitis virus | <virology> A herpesvirus causing avian infectious laryngotracheitis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| infectious arteritis virus of horses | <virology> A virus of the genus Pestivirus, a member of the family Togaviridae, that causes equine viral arteritis. It is probably the most common cause of equine influenza and an important equine respiratory disease frequently causing abortion, pneumonia, or other infections. Synonym: infectious arteritis virus of horses. (05 Mar 2000) |
| infectious bovine rhinotracheitis virus | A herpesvirus causing infectious bovine rhinotracheitis. Synonym: IBR virus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| infectious bronchitis virus | An RNA virus of the family Coronaviridae and the type species of the genus Coronavirus, causing infectious avian bronchitis, being most pathogenic in chicks up to about 4 weeks of age; not to be confused with avian infectious laryngotracheitis virus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| infectious bronchitis virus, avian | A species of coronavirus causing infections in chickens and possibly pheasants. Chicks up to 4 weeks old are the most severely affected. (12 Dec 1998) |
| infectious bursal disease virus | A species of avibirnavirus causing severe inflammation of the bursa of fabricius in chickens and other fowl. Transmission is thought to be through contaminated feed or water. Vaccines have been used with varying degrees of success. (12 Dec 1998) |
| infectious ectromelia virus | A virus belonging to the family Poxviridae morphologically similar to vaccinia virus, which occurs as a latent infection in laboratory mice, but which may be activated by stresses such as irradiation and transport to cause disease; inoculation into the footpad results in oedema and necrosis. Synonym: ectromelia virus, mousepox virus, pseudolymphocytic choriomeningitis virus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| infectious hepatitis virus | <virology> An RNA virus (hepatovirus) in the family Picornaviridae, that is the causative agent of viral hepatitis type A. The virus replicates in hepatocytes and is presumed to reach the intestine via the bile duct. Transmission occurs by the faecal-oral route. Synonym: infectious hepatitis virus. (20 Sep 2002) |
| infectious pancreatic necrosis virus | The type species of aquabirnavirus, causing infectious pancreatic necrosis in salmonid fish and other freshwater and marine animals including mollusks. (12 Dec 1998) |
| infectious papilloma virus | <virology> A disease caused by the human papilloma virus characterised by a soft wart-like growth on the genitalia (for example penis, vulva). In adults this infection is most commonly transmitted sexually. Genital warts are very common and are increasing in incidence. Safe sex practices, such as using condoms can help decrease the risk of infection. Treatment includes several topical agents to eradicate the lesions, cryosurgery, laser therapy, electrocauterisation or surgical removal. See: alternate name condyloma acuminata. Acronym: HPV (27 Sep 1997) |
| infectious peritonitis virus, feline | A species of coronavirus infecting cats of all ages and commonly found in catteries and zoos. Cats are often found carrying the virus but only a small proportion develop disease. (12 Dec 1998) |
| infectious porcine encephalomyelitis virus | A picornavirus causing Teschen disease of pigs; the virus is normally a harmless inhabitant of the intestinal tract, but virulent strains cause epizootics of the disease. Synonym: infectious porcine encephalomyelitis virus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| chicken anaemia virus | The type species of circovirus, a small, non-enveloped DNA virus originally isolated from contaminated vaccines in japan. It causes chicken infectious anaemia and may possibly play a key role in haemorrhagic anaemia syndrome, anaemia dermatitis, and blue wing disease. (12 Dec 1998) |
| 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.
