| herpes virus 1, ranid | A species of the family herpesviridae, whose genus is so far unnamed. It is probably the causative agent of adenoma or adenocarcinoma in the kidneys of certain frogs. (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| herpes virus 1, suid | A species of varicellovirus producing a respiratory infection in swine, its natural host. It also produces an usually fatal encephalomyelitis in cattle, sheep, dogs, cats, foxes, and mink. (12 Dec 1998) |
| herpes virus 2, bovine | A species of simplexvirus causing mammillitis in cattle in great britain and south africa. (12 Dec 1998) |
| herpes virus 2, gallid | A species of an as yet unnamed genus in the family herpesviridae. It is the aetiologic agent of a disease of domestic fowl and wild birds. (12 Dec 1998) |
| herpes virus 2, human | A species of simplexvirus associated with genital infections (herpes genitalis). It is transmitted by sexual intercourse and close personal contact. (12 Dec 1998) |
| herpes virus 2, saimirine | A species, of an as yet unassigned genus, in the subfamily gammaherpesvirinae, isolated from squirrel monkeys. It produces malignant lymphomas in inoculated marmosets or owl monkeys. (12 Dec 1998) |
| herpes virus 3, equid | A species of varicellovirus causing coital exanthema in horses. (12 Dec 1998) |
| herpes virus 3, human | The type species of varicellovirus causing chickenpox (varicella) and herpes zoster (shingles) in humans. (12 Dec 1998) |
| herpes virus 4, human | A species of lymphocryptovirus cultivated from cultures of burkitt lymphoma. It is thought to be the causative agent of infectious mononucleosis. (12 Dec 1998) |
| herpes virus 6, human | The type species of roseolovirus isolated from patients with aids and other lymphoproliferative disorders. It infects and replicates in fresh and established lines of haematopoietic cells and cells of neural origin. It also appears to alter nk cell activity. Hhv-6 (hblv) antibodies are elevated in patients with aids, sjogren's syndrome, sarcoidosis, chronic fatigue syndrome, and certain malignancies. Hhv-6 is the cause of exanthema subitum and has been implicated in encephalitis. (12 Dec 1998) |
| herpes virus 7, human | A species of the family herpesviridae isolated from activated, CD4-positive T-lymphocytes taken from the blood of a healthy human. (12 Dec 1998) |
| 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) |
| herpes zoster virus | <virology> A virus in the family Herpesviridae which causeschickenpox initially and may go dormant and later re-activate, causing the disease shingles. Chickenpox is a common, highly communicabledisease that causes fever and fluid-filled blisters on the skin.Shingles are characterised by extremely painful skin eruptions. (09 Oct 1997) |
| gastroenteritis virus type A | 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) |
| gastroenteritis virus type B | <virology> Genus of the Reoviridae having a double layered capsid and 11 double stranded RNA molecules in the genome. They have a wheel like appearance in the electron microscope and cause acute diarrhoeal disease in their mammalian and avian hosts. Probably the most important cause of severe dehydrating diarrhoea in children under three years of age worldwide. Symptoms include nausea, vomiting, low-grade fever and diarrhoea. Aggressive fluid replacement is generally required. (27 Sep 1997) |
