| sarcoma virus | <virology> Virus that causes tumours originating from cells of connective tissue such as fibroblasts. See: Rous sarcoma virus, src. (18 Nov 1997) |
|---|---|
| sarcoma virus, feline | A species of mammalian type c retroviruses (retroviruses type c, mammalian) isolated from fibrosarcoma in cats. The virus is actually a recombinant feline leukaemia virus (felv) where part of the genome has been replaced by cellular oncogenes. It is unique to individuals and not transmitted naturally to other cats. Fesv is replication defective and requires felv to reproduce. (12 Dec 1998) |
| satellite virus | <virology> A term used in plant virology for a virus associated functionally, at least for the purpose of its own replication, with another virus. (18 Nov 1997) |
| hepatitis A virus | <virology> An RNA virus (hepatovirus) in the family Picornaviridae, that is the causative agent of viral hepatitis type A. The virus replicates in hepatocytes and is presumed to reach the intestine via the bile duct. Transmission occurs by the faecal-oral route. Synonym: infectious hepatitis virus. (20 Sep 2002) |
| hepatitis b virus | The type species of the genus orthohepadnavirus which causes human hepatitis b and is also apparently a causal agent in human hepatocellular carcinoma. The dane particle is an intact hepatitis virion, named after its discoverer. Non-infectious spherical and tubular particles are also seen in the serum. (12 Dec 1998) |
| hepatitis b virus, duck | A DNA virus that closely resembles human hepatitis b virus. It has been recovered from naturally infected ducks. (12 Dec 1998) |
| hepatitis b virus, woodchuck | An orthohepadnavirus causing chronic liver disease and hepatocellular carcinoma in woodchucks. It closely resembles the human hepatitis b virus. (12 Dec 1998) |
| hepatitis C virus | A non-A, non-B RNA virus causing post-transfusion hepatitis; it appears to be a member of the family Flaviviridae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| hepatitis delta virus | A defective virus, containing particles of RNA nucleoprotein in virion-like form, present in patients with acute hepatitis b and chronic hepatitis. Officially this is classified as a subviral satellite RNA (RNA, satellite). (12 Dec 1998) |
| hepatitis D virus | A small "defective" RNA virus, similar to viroids and virusoids, that requires the presence of hepatitis B virus for replication. The clinical course is variable but is usually more severe than other hepatitides. Synonym: hepatitis delta virus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| hepatitis e virus | A positive-stranded RNA virus species in the genus calicivirus, causing enterically-transmitted non-a, non-b hepatitis (hepatitis e). (12 Dec 1998) |
| hepatitis virus, duck | An enterovirus with high mortality that attacks ducklings 3 days to 3 weeks old. (12 Dec 1998) |
| herpes simplex virus | <virology> A virus in the family Herpesviridae. Type 1 HSVcauses blisters on the lips, nostrils, and possibly on the lining of the eyelids. Type 2 HSV causes blisters and lesions on and aroundgenitalia. (09 Oct 1997) |
| herpes simplex virus 1 helicase-primase | <enzyme> Complex of three herpes-encoded gene products (ul52, ul5, and ul8) in addition to helicase activity, contains a tightly associated complex that may prime lagging strand synthesis as it unwinds DNA at the viral replication fork Registry number: EC 3.1.- Synonym: hsv-1 helicase-primase, ul5 protein, hsv helicase-primase complex, ul52 protein, ul8 protein (26 Jun 1999) |
| herpes simplex virus DNA polymerase | <enzyme> 3'-5'-exonuclease activity is associated with herpes simplex virus DNA polymerase; interacts with hsv-1 ul42 protein Registry number: EC 3.1.11.- Synonym: hsv DNA polymerase, polymerase associated exonuclease, herpes simplex virus 1 ul30 polymerase, hsv-1 ul30 protein, DNA polymerase ul30, hsv-1 (26 Jun 1999) |
