| murine typhus | An acute infectious disease with fever, headache, and rash, all quite similar to, but milder than, epidemic typhus, caused by a related microoganism, rickettsia typhi (mooseri), transmitted to humans by rat fleas (xenopsylla cheopis). The animal reservoir includes rats, mice and other rodents. Murine typhus occurs sporadically worldwide but is more prevalent in congested rat-infested urban areas. Also known as endemic typhus, rat-flea typhus; urban typhus of malaya). (12 Dec 1998) |

| theiler's murine encephalomyelitis virus | A species of cardiovirus which causes poliomyelitis in rats. It should not be confused with the strain of encepalomyocarditis virus called encephalomyelitis virus, murine, which is also a cardiovirus. (12 Dec 1998) |
| encephalomyelitis virus, murine | A strain of encephalomyocarditis virus, a species of cardiovirus, usually causing an inapparent intestinal infection in mice. A small number of mice may show signs of flaccid paralysis. (12 Dec 1998) |
| transmissible murine colonic hyperplasia | A disease of young mice caused by the bacterium Citrobacter freundii and characterised by diarrhoea and mucosal hyperplasia of the descending colon. (05 Mar 2000) |

| Friend murine erythroleukaemia cell | <cell culture> Lines of mouse erythroblasts transformed by the Friend virus, that can be induced to differentiate terminally, producing haemoglobin, by various agents such as dimethyl sulphoxide. (18 Nov 1997) |
| african swine fever-like viruses | An unnamed, unclassified genus of DNA viruses with a single species: african swine fever virus. (12 Dec 1998) |
| alpha viruses | <virology> These are the major viruses in the Togavirus group and include eastern and western equine encephalitis viruses, the Sindbis virus and the Semliki Forest virus. The last two viruses are being researched as vectors for expressing heterologous genes. (09 Oct 1997) |
| animal viruses | Virus's occurring in man and other animals, causing inapparent infection or producing disease. (05 Mar 2000) |
| bunyamwera group viruses | A large group of viruses from many parts of the world assigned to the bunyavirus genus of the family bunyaviridae. They are transmitted by mosquitoes and infect humans in some areas. This group contains the type species of the genus, bunyamwera virus. (12 Dec 1998) |
| california group viruses | A group of viruses in the bunyavirus genus of the bunyaviridae family. They are found in temperate and arctic regions and each is closely associated with a single species of vector mosquito. The vertebrate hosts are usually small mammals but several virus species infect humans. (12 Dec 1998) |
| Capim viruses | A serologic group of the genus Bunyavirus, the type species of which is Capim virus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pappataci fever viruses | An unclassified serologic group of arboviruses morphologically like Bunyavirus but antigenically unrelated, transmitted by Phlebotomus papatasi (sandfly) and causing phlebotomus fever; there are 20 strains, including Icoarachi and Itaporanga. Synonym: pappataci fever viruses, sandfly fever viruses. (05 Mar 2000) |
| mammary tumour viruses, mouse | The type species of mammalian type b retroviruses (retroviruses type b, mammalian) commonly latent in mice. It causes mammary adenocarcinoma when in a genetically susceptible strain of mice and when the appropriate hormonal influences operate. (12 Dec 1998) |
| parainfluenza viruses | Virus's of the genus Paramyxovirus, of four types: type 1 (haemadsorption virus type 2), which includes sendai virus, causes acute laryngotracheitis in children and occasionally adults; type 2 (croup-associated virus) is associated especially with acute laryngotracheitis or croup in young children and minor upper respiratory infections in adults; type 3 (haemadsorption virus type 1; shipping fever virus) has been isolated from small children with pharyngitis, bronchiolitis, and pneumonia, and causes occasional respiratory infection in adults; bovine strains have been isolated from cattle with shipping fever, and the virus has also been isolated from sheep; type 4 has been isolated from a very few children with minor respiratory illness.
