| 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 eczematoid dermatitis | An inflammatory reaction of skin adjacent to the site of a pyogenic infection; e.g., purulent otitis, the area around a colostomy, or intranasal infection; thought to be due to a local sensitization to the resident organisms. (05 Mar 2000) |
| infectious enterohepatitis | A disease chiefly affecting turkeys, caused by Histomonas meleagridis and characterised by ulcerative and necrotic lesions of the liver and caecum, acute onset, and a high mortality rate. It is transmitted inside the eggs of the nematode Heterakis gallinae, which is primarily responsible for maintaining and spreading the infection. Synonym: blackhead, infectious enterohepatitis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| infectious granuloma | Any granulomatous lesion known to be caused by a living agent; e.g., bacteria, fungi, helminths. (05 Mar 2000) |
| infectious hepatitis | <virology> A form of viral hepatitis, known as infectious hepatitis, due to its ability to be spread through personal contact with oral secretions or stool. Virus will be shed in the stools of an infected individual 2-3 weeks prior to the onset of any symptoms. Hepatitis A may also be transmitted sexually. Symptoms are similar to those of influenza, but the skin and eyes may become yellow. Recent travel to a third world country is a risk factor. There is no specific treatment but infected individuals should avoid potentially hepatotoxic substances. The virus is a small (27nm diameter) single stranded RNA virus with some resemblance to enteroviruses such as polio. (27 Sep 1997) |
| infectious hepatitis immunization | See Immunization, hepatitis a. (12 Dec 1998) |
| 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 icterus | A severe form of leptospirosis caused by leptospira interrogans serogroup icterohaemorrhagica and transmitted to man by the rat. (12 Dec 1998) |

| infectious mono | See infectious mononucleosis. (12 Dec 1998) |
| infectious mononucleosis | <haematology, virology> Self limiting disorder of lymphoid tissue caused by infection with Epstein Barr virus (infectious mononucleosis). Characterised by the appearance of many large lymphoblasts in the circulation. (13 Nov 1997) |
| infectious myositis | Inflammation of the voluntary muscles, marked by swelling and pain, affecting usually the shoulders and arms, though almost the entire body may be involved. (05 Mar 2000) |

|---|---|
| tissue culture infectious dose | The quantity of a cytopathogenic agent, such as a virus, that will produce a cytopathic effect in 50% of the cultures inoculated. (05 Mar 2000) |
| equine infectious anaemia | <veterinary> virology> Viral disease of horses caused by the equine infectious anaemia virus (eiav; infectious anaemia virus, equine). It is characterised by intermittent fever, weakness, and anaemia. Chronic infection consists of acute episodes with remissions. (12 Dec 1998) |
| equine infectious anaemia virus | <virology> A retrovirus, of the Lentivirinae subfamily, and the cause of equine infectious anaemia. Synonym: swamp fever virus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| keratoconjunctivitis, infectious | Infectious diseases of cattle, sheep, and goats, characterised by blepharospasm, lacrimation, conjunctivitis, and varying degrees of corneal opacity and ulceration. In cattle the causative agent is moraxella (moraxella) bovis; in sheep, mycoplasma, rickettsia, chlamydia, or acholeplasma; in goats, rickettsia. (12 Dec 1998) |
| feline infectious anaemia | An acute or chronic anaemia of domestic cats caused by the rickettsia Haemobartonella felis. Synonym: haemobartonellosis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| feline infectious enteritis | 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 peritonitis | Common coronavirus infection of cats caused by the feline infectious peritonitis virus (infectious peritonitis virus, feline). The disease is characterised by a long incubation period, fever, depression, loss of appetite, wasting, and progressive abdominal enlargement. Infection of cells of the monocyte-macrophage lineage appears to be essential in fip pathogenesis. (12 Dec 1998) |

| infectious endocarditis |
infective endocarditis, endocarditis caused by infection with microorganisms, especially bacteria and fungi. It has been classified according to course as acute and subacute: the acute form is usually due to staphylococci, pneumococci, gonococci, or streptococci, involves a normal heart valve, and has a short history and rapid course; the subacute form usually is due to viridans or fecal streptococci or to fungi, affects damaged heart valves, and has a prolonged course. ...

| infectious |
An infection is the detrimental colonization of a host organism by a foreign species. An infection is, in effect, a war in which the infecting organism seeks to utilize the host's resources in order to multiply at the expense of the host. The infecting organism, or pathogen, interferes with the normal functioning and perhaps the survival of the host. ...
