| transmissible | Capable of being transmitted (carried across) from one person to another, as a transmissible disease, an infectious or contagious disease. (05 Mar 2000) |
| transmissible dementia | <infectious disease> A very rare form of encephalopathy thought to be caused by a virus (slow-virus), termed a prion. There is little known about the mode of transmission. Human to human transmission has occurred through the use of contaminated brain electrodes and transplantation of infected tissues. The agent can be recovered in the CSF of infected individuals. Standard disinfectants such as formalin, heat, exposure to ultraviolet light or X-rays is ineffective to inactivate the virus. Autoclaving to at least 132 degrees C. Or immersion in 4% sodium hydroxide or 10% sodium hypochlorite solution for 1 hour is recommended for sterilisation. The disease occurs primarily in adults, with peak incidence in the late 50's. Infection results in dementia, myoclonus, ataxia and other neurologic symptoms. The disease progresses rapidly to coma and death after a 3 to 12 month illness. There is no known cure. (27 Sep 1997) |
| transmissible enteritis | An acute or chronic disease of young turkeys caused by bluecomb virus, with diarrhoea, loss of weight, and often cyanosis of the head. Synonym: mud fever, transmissible enteritis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| transmissible gastroenteritis of swine | A rapidly spreading disease of swine, caused by a coronavirus (of the family Coronaviridae) and characterised by severe diarrhoea and vomiting; case fatality rate in pigs younger than 10 days is high; in older pigs it is low. Synonym: porcine transmissible gastroenteritis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| transmissible gastroenteritis virus of swine | A coronavirus that causes transmissible gastroenteritis of swine. Synonym: TGE virus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| transmissible mink encephalopathy | <virology> Unconventional type of slow virus infection, similar to kuru, scrapie and Creutzfeldt Jakob disease. See: prion. Origin: Gr. Pathos = disease (18 Nov 1997) |
| transmissible plasmid | Self-transmissible plasmid, a plasmid which encodes all the functions needed for its own intercellular transmission by conjugation. (09 Oct 1997) |
| transmissible turkey enteritis virus | A coronavirus causing bluecomb disease of turkeys. Synonym: bluecomb virus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| transmissible venereal tumour | A rapidly growing, soft, easily bleeding, infectious, connective tissue tumour occurring in the vagina of the female dog and on the penis and sheath of the male; ordinarily transmitted by coitus. Synonym: transmissible venereal tumour. (05 Mar 2000) |
| enteritis, transmissible, of turkeys | An acute, highly contagious virus disease of turkeys characterised by chilling, anorexia, decreased water intake, diarrhoea, dehydration and weight loss. The infectious agent is a coronavirus. (12 Dec 1998) |
| Abelson murine leukaemia virus | A retrovirus belonging to the Type C retrovirus group subfamily (family Oncovirinae) which is associated with leukaemia and produces in vitro transformation of mouse cells. (05 Mar 2000) |
| gastroenteritis virus, murine | A species of the coronavirus genus causing hepatitis in mice. Four strains have been identified as mhv 1, mhv 2, mhv 3, and mhv 4 (also known as jhm, which is neurotropic and causes disseminated encephalomyelitis with demyelination as well as focal liver necrosis). (12 Dec 1998) |
| Moloney murine leukaemia virus | <molecular biology, virology> Replication competent retrovirus (Oncovirinae) that causes leukaemia in mice, isolated by Moloney from cell free extracts made from a transplantable mouse sarcoma. (18 Nov 1997) |
| Moloney murine sarcoma virus | <molecular biology, virology> Replication defective retrovirus, source of the oncogene v mos, responsible for inducing fibrosarcomas in vivo and transforming cells in culture. (18 Nov 1997) |
