| Harvey sarcoma virus | <oncogene> One of a family of oncogenes, first identified as transforming genes of Harvey and Kirsten murine sarcoma viruses. (Name from rat sarcoma because Harvey virus, though a mouse virus, obtained its transforming gene during passage in a rat). Transforming protein coded is p21ras, a GTP-binding protein with GTPase activity, that resembles regulatory G-proteins. (18 Nov 1997) |
| sarcoma virus | <virology> Virus that causes tumours originating from cells of connective tissue such as fibroblasts. See: Rous sarcoma virus, src. (18 Nov 1997) |
| herpes virus, kaposi sarcoma-associated | Species of an unnamed genus, subfamily gammaherpesvirinae, isolated from patients with aids-related and "classical" kaposi sarcoma. The sequences suggest this is a new human herpes virus, unofficially identified as human herpes virus-8 (hhv-8). (12 Dec 1998) |
| Kirsten sarcoma virus | <virology> A murine sarcoma inducing retrovirus, generated by passaging a murine erythoblastosis virus in newborn rats. Source of the Ki ras oncogene. (18 Nov 1997) |
| calicivirus, feline | A species of the genus calicivirus, an RNA virus infecting cats. Transmission occurs via air and mechanical contact. (12 Dec 1998) |
| parvovirus, feline | A species of parvovirus chiefly affecting young cats in endemic areas, but all felines are susceptible, even lions and tigers. It also affects mink and raccoons. Host range variants (called subspecies by some authors) include feline panleukopenia virus, mink enteritis virus, canine parvovirus (parvovirus, canine), and raccoon parvovirus. (12 Dec 1998) |
| feline | <zoology> Relating to, affecting, resembling or derived from a cat. (09 Oct 1997) |
| feline acquired immunodeficiency syndrome | <syndrome> Acquired defect of cellular immunity that occurs in cats infected with feline immunodeficiency virus (fiv) and in some cats infected with feline leukaemia virus (felv). (12 Dec 1998) |
| feline agranulocytosis | A highly contagious and fatal disease of cats, particularly young cats, caused by feline panleukopenia virus, a member of the family Parvoviridae, and manifested by severe leukopenia, prostration, fever, vomiting and diarrhoea. Synonym: distemper, feline agranulocytosis, feline distemper, feline infectious enteritis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| feline distemper | A highly contagious and fatal disease of cats, particularly young cats, caused by feline panleukopenia virus, a member of the family Parvoviridae, and manifested by severe leukopenia, prostration, fever, vomiting and diarrhoea. Synonym: distemper, feline agranulocytosis, feline distemper, feline infectious enteritis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| feline infectious anaemia | An acute or chronic anaemia of domestic cats caused by the rickettsia Haemobartonella felis. Synonym: haemobartonellosis. (05 Mar 2000) |
