| sheep-pox | A highly contagious disease of sheep, chiefly in parts of Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and southern Europe, caused by the sheep-pox virus, a member of the family Poxviridae. Synonym: ovinia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sheep-pox virus | A poxvirus of the genus Capripoxvirus causing sheep-pox. (05 Mar 2000) |
| nairobi sheep disease | An arbovirus infection of sheep and goats transmitted by ticks. It is characterised by high fever and haemorrhagic gastroenteritis. (12 Dec 1998) |
| Nairobi sheep disease virus | An unclassified arbovirus of the family Bunyaviridae causing Nairobi sheep disease, transmitted by the tick, Rhipicephalus appendiculatus; it is a serologic group of virus's morphologically like Bunyavirus but antigenically unrelated to it. (05 Mar 2000) |
| nairobi sheep disease viruses | A group of viruses of the genus nairovirus, transmitted by the ixodid ticks and producing a lethal gastroenteritis in sheep and goats, especially in africa. Though major veterinary pathogens, their effect on humans has not been firmly established. (12 Dec 1998) |
| infectious necrotic hepatitis of sheep | A disease of sheep caused by the bacterium Clostridium novyi, which invades livers damaged by the fluke Fasciola hepatica and causes severe necrosis and death; this disease occurs in nearly all parts of the world, including the U.S. Sometimes called black disease because of the extensive haemorrhages seen on the inner surface of the pelt when it is removed. Synonym: black disease. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Eimeria of sheep and goats | Eimeria ovina (arloingi), the most common and destructive species in sheep, principal losses being in young lambs; Eimeria minakolyakimovae, a highly pathogenic parasite of sheep; Eimeria parva and Eimeria pallida are frequently found but believed to be of low virulence; Eimeria faurei, Eimeria intricata, Eimeria granulosa, Eimeria ahsata, Eimeria hawkins, Eimeria gilruthi, Eimeria gonzalezi, Eimeria christenseni, Eimeria punctata, Eimeria crandallis, and Eimeria honessi, are found in sheep or goats, and are probably of low pathogenicity. All of these species invade the epithelium of the small intestine. Synonym: coccidia of sheep and goats. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Kisenyi sheep disease virus | A virus, in the family Bunyaviridae, that is probably the same as Nairobi sheep disease virus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| acute pulmonary alveolitis | Acute inflammation involving exudate into the pulmonary alveoli and impaired gas exchange; may result in necrosis with haemorrhage into the lungs; occurs in Goodpasture's syndrome, in association with a glomerulonephritis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| acute pulmonary eosinophilia | <chest medicine> A self-limiting inflammation in the lungs where there is associated infiltration of eosinophils into lung tissue. Chest X-ray reveals pulmonary infiltrates and full blood count shows increased numbers of eosinophils. The cause is unknown and the disease often resolves without treatment. Some forms may be treated with oral corticosteroids. Complications include restrictive cardiomyopathy due to fibrosis of the lining of the heart. (27 Sep 1997) |
| apical branch of inferior lobar branch of right pulmonary artery | <anatomy, artery> Branch (of the inferior lobar branch) of the right pulmonary artery serving the apical segment of the inferior lobe of the right lung. Synonym: ramus apicalis lobi inferioris arteriae pulmonalis dextrae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| apicoposterior branch of left superior pulmonary vein | <anatomy, vein> Drains apicoposterior bronchopulmonary segment of superior lobe of left lung. Synonym: ramus apicoposterior venae pulmonalis sinistrae superioris. (05 Mar 2000) |
| basal part of pulmonary artery | <anatomy, artery> See: right pulmonary artery, left pulmonary artery. (05 Mar 2000) |
| bifurcation of pulmonary trunk | The division of the pulmonary trunk into right and left pulmonary arteries. Synonym: bifurcatio trunci pulmonalis. (05 Mar 2000) |
