| 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) |

| intracranial granulomatous arteritis | A small vessel, giant cell arteritis that affects only intracranial blood vessels, of unknown aetiology, and with diverse clinical manifestations, including those seen with an involving cerebral tumour, and with a low grade meningitis, leading to infarction of one portion of the cerebrum or cerebellum. (05 Mar 2000) |
| takayasu arteritis | <radiology> Also known as: giant cell arteritis, aortic arch syndrome, pulseless disease, thickening of wall of aortic arch and thoracic aorta, chronic obliterative arteritis of subclavian and carotid arteries, diminished pulses in upper extremities, may most likely to be rib notching (12 Dec 1998) |
| takayasu's arteritis | A thrombo-obliterative process of the great vessels stemming from the aortic arch, occurring generally in young women. Radial and carotid pulses are typically obliterated. Skin changes are due to the disturbed circulation. There may be loss of hair and atrophy of the skin and its appendages with underlying muscle atrophy. (andrews' diseases of the skin, 8th ed) (12 Dec 1998) |
| temporal arteritis | <pathology> An inflammatory condition of the temporal artery. It is a serious chronic vascular disease, characterised by inflammation of the walls of the blood vessels (vasculitis). The age of affected patients is usually over 50 years of age. It most often involves the carotid artery system, and can lead to blindness or stroke. It can be diagnosed by biopsy of an artery, but there is often a false negative result. Elevation of the erythrocyte sedimentation rate is typical. Treatment is with high dose steroids. Common symptoms include headaches and tenderness over the temple (temporal artery). Can be associated with polymyalgia rheumatica. See: polymyalgia rheumatica. Synonym: cranial arteritis, temporal arteritis (20 Jun 2000) |
| extracranial arteritis | giant cell arteritis |
| 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. (12 Dec 1998) |
| eastern equine encephalomyelitis | A form of mosquito-borne equine encephalomyelitis seen in the eastern U.S. And caused by the eastern equine encephalomyelitis virus, a species of Alphavirus, which belongs to the family Togaviridae; initial fever and viraemia are followed by signs of central nervous system involvement (excitement, then somnolence, paralysis, and death); the incidence of clinical infection in man is low but case fatality may be high.
