| hepatitis, infectious canine | An adenovirus infection causing fever, oedema, vomiting, and diarrhoea in dogs, especially puppies. In foxes it causes acute encephalitis with convulsions, paralysis, coma, and death. (12 Dec 1998) |
| proteinaceous infectious particle | A proposed pathogen composedonly of protein with no detectable nucleic acid and which is responsible for Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease and kuru inhumans and scrapie in sheep. (09 Oct 1997) |
| skin diseases, infectious | Skin diseases caused by bacteria, fungi, parasites, or viruses. (12 Dec 1998) |
| spot test for infectious mononucleosis | A slide test widely used for the diagnosis of infectious mononucleosis, based on the principle that the heterophil antibodies that occur in the serum of patients with infectious mononucleosis are absorbed by beef red cells but not by guinea pig kidney cells; thus, when horse red cells (which provoke heterophil antibodies) are mixed with patient serum and agglutination occurs in the presence of beef red cells, the presumptive diagnosis is infectious mononucleosis.

| necrotic infectious conjunctivitis | A unilateral, suppurative, necrotic inflammation of the conjunctiva characterised by scattered, elevated white spots in the fornices and palpebral conjunctiva, and ipsilateral swelling of preauricular, parotid, and submaxillary lymph glands. Synonym: Pascheff's conjunctivitis. (05 Mar 2000) |

| infectious anaemia | Anaemia developing as a complication of infection; probably results from depressed formation and short survival of erythrocytes and abnormal iron metabolism. (05 Mar 2000) |
| 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) |
| 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 avian bronchitis | A specific infectious disease of young birds, caused by infectious bronchitis virus, a member of Coronaviridae, and associated with blocking of respiratory passages by exudate; it is highly transmissible, and often causes heavy losses of young chicks and heavy production losses among older laying birds. Synonym: gasping disease. (05 Mar 2000) |
| infectious bovine keratitis | A highly contagious keratoconjunctivitis that occurs in range or pastured cattle during the summer months, is transmitted most commonly by contact with infectious discharges, and is caused by Moraxella bovis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| infectious bovine keratoconjunctivitis | A disease of cattle caused by the bacterium Moraxella bovis and characterised by blepharospasm, conjunctivitis, lacrimation, and corneal opacity and ulceration. Synonym: infectious ophthalmia, pinkeye. (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) |
