| vesicular stomatitis-indiana virus | The type species of vesiculovirus causing a disease symptomatically similar to foot-and-mouth disease in cattle, horses, and pigs. It may be transmitted to other species including humans, where it causes influenza-like symptoms. (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| 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) |
| acanthamoeba keratitis | Infection of the cornea by an ameboid protozoan which may cause corneal ulceration leading to blindness. (12 Dec 1998) |
| actinic keratitis | A reaction of the cornea to ultraviolet light. (05 Mar 2000) |
| vascular keratitis | Superficial cellular infiltration of the cornea and neovascularization between Bowman's membrane and the epithelium. (05 Mar 2000) |
| marginal keratitis | A corneal inflammation at the limbus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| geographic keratitis | Keratitis with coalescence of superficial lesions in herpes keratitis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| metaherpetic keratitis | A postinfectious corneal inflammation in herpetic keratitis leading to epithelial erosion; not due to virus replication. (05 Mar 2000) |
| phlyctenular keratitis | An inflammation of the corneal conjunctiva with the formation of small red nodules of lymphoid tissue (phlyctenulae) near the corneoscleral limbus. Synonym: scrofulous keratitis. (05 Mar 2000) |
