| VSV | vesicular stomatitis virus |
| vesicular stomatitis | A vesicular disease of horses, cattle, swine, and occasionally man caused by a vesiculovirus (vesicular stomatitis virus); in horses and cattle the disease usually causes mouth vesicles which, in cattle, cannot be differentiated clinically from those of foot-and-mouth disease.

| vesicular stomatitis virus | <virology> Rhabdovirus causing the disease soremouth in cattle. Widely used as a laboratory tool especially in studies on the spike glycoprotein as a model for the synthesis, post translational modification and export of membrane proteins. (18 Nov 1997) |
| vesicular transport | <cell biology> Process of transport of material across an epithelium by uptake on one face into a coated vesicle, which may then be sorted through the trans Golgi network and transported to the opposite face in another set of vesicles. (17 Mar 1998) |
| vesicular venous plexus | A plexus of veins around the fundus and sides of the bladder. Synonym: plexus venosus vesicalis, venous plexus of bladder. (05 Mar 2000) |
| granular layer of a vesicular ovarian follicle | The layer of small cells that forms the wall of an ovarian follicle. Synonym: granular layer of a vesicular ovarian follicle, granulosa, membrana granulosa, stratum granulosum ovarii. (05 Mar 2000) |
| rickettsiosis, vesicular | See Rickettsialpox. (12 Dec 1998) |
| swine vesicular disease | <virology> An enterovirus infection of swine clinically indistinguishable from foot-and-mouth disease, vesicular stomatitis, and vesicular exanthema. (12 Dec 1998) |
| swine vesicular disease virus | <virology> A porcine enterovirus causing vesicular disease in swine. (05 Mar 2000) |
| allergic eczema | Macular, papular, or vesicular eruption due to an allergic reaction. (05 Mar 2000) |
| atopic eczema | <dermatology> An inflammatory condition of the skin that includes redness, itching and oosing vesicular lesions which become scaly, crusted or hardened. Causes include hypersensitivity to chemicals, metals (nickel) or plants (for example Poison Ivy) or chronic irritation detergents or soaps. Anxiety, stress and depression may all play a role in the exacerbation of eczema. Those with atopic eczema may be discovered to have an increased eosinophil count in their blood. Treatment often includes mild anti-pruritic lotions and corticosteroid creams. Careful avoidance of any irritating substances will be mandatory. (27 Sep 1997) |
| baker's eczema | Allergic eczema due to contact with flour, yeast, or other ingredients handled by bakers. (05 Mar 2000) |
