| haemorrhagic fever virus, crimean-congo | The type species of nairovirus of the family bunyaviridae isolated from febrile patients in africa. It is primarily transmitted by ticks and causes a severe, often fatal disease in humans. (12 Dec 1998) |

| shipping fever virus | Parainfluenza virus type 3. See: parainfluenza viruses. (05 Mar 2000) |
| simian haemorrhagic fever virus | An arterivirus causing simian haemorrhagic fever in macaque monkeys. (05 Mar 2000) |
| swamp fever virus | <virology> A retrovirus, of the Lentivirinae subfamily, and the cause of equine infectious anaemia. Synonym: swamp fever virus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| swine fever virus | A species of the pestivirus genus causing exceedingly contagious and fatal haemorrhagic disease of swine. (12 Dec 1998) |

| ephemeral fever virus | A rhabdovirus that causes ephemeral fever of cattle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ephemeral fever virus, bovine | The type species of ephemerovirus causing disease in cattle. Transmission is by haematophagous arthropods and the virus has been isolated from both culicoides and mosquitoes. (12 Dec 1998) |
| yellow fever virus | <virology> A togavirus (Class IV) with an RNA genome responsible for the disease of the name whose symptoms include fever and haemorrhage. Transmitted by the mosquitoes Aedes aegypti and Haemagogus. Only one antigenic type of the virus known and causes fatal hepatitis in many primates, including humans. This virus is endemic to areas of Africa, South America and the Carribean and has been a major epidemic threat. (11 May 1997) |

| antigens, viral | Substances elaborated by viruses that have antigenic activity. (12 Dec 1998) |
| antigens, viral, tumour | Those proteins recognised by antibodies from serum of animals bearing tumours induced by viruses; these proteins are presumably coded for by the nucleic acids of the same viruses that caused the neoplastic transformation. (12 Dec 1998) |
