| encephalomyelitis, equine | An alphavirus infection of horses and mules, communicable to humans, occurring in the united states and parts of central and south america. (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| encephalomyelitis, venezuelan equine | An arthropod-borne viral encephalomyelitis of equidae and humans. (12 Dec 1998) |
| encephalomyelitis virus, avian | A species of enterovirus infecting primarily young chicks, but also found in turkeys, pheasants, and guinea fowl. It causes a fatal neuronal degeneration and is transmitted by mechanical contact. (12 Dec 1998) |
| encephalomyelitis virus, murine | A strain of encephalomyocarditis virus, a species of cardiovirus, usually causing an inapparent intestinal infection in mice. A small number of mice may show signs of flaccid paralysis. (12 Dec 1998) |
| enzootic encephalomyelitis | An encephalomyelitis of horses, sheep and cattle caused by an RNA virus. (12 Dec 1998) |
| enzootic encephalomyelitis virus | An unclassified, single-stranded RNA virus, possibly related to the family rhabdoviridae, causing a rare and usually fatal encephalitic disease in horses and other domestic animals and possibly deer. Its name derives from the city in saxony where the condition was first described in 1894, but the disease occurs in europe, n. Africa, and the near east. (12 Dec 1998) |
| epidemic myalgic encephalomyelitis | An epidemic disease characterised by stiffness of the neck and back, headache, diarrhoea, fever, and localised muscular weakness; restricted almost exclusively to adults, affecting women more than men; probably viral in origin. Synonym: Akureyri disease, benign myalgic encephalomyelitis, epidemic myalgic encephalomyelitis, Iceland disease. (05 Mar 2000) |
| equine encephalomyelitis | <veterinary> An acute, often fatal, virus disease of horses and mules transmitted by mosquitoes and characterised by central nervous system disturbances. It is typically caused by one of two arthropod-borne viruses, and their resulting diseases are designated western equine or eastern equine encephalomyelitis; these viruses belong to the family Togaviridae and can also cause neurologic disease in humans. Synonym: equine encephalitis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| experimental allergic encephalomyelitis | <pathology> An autoimmune disease that can be induced in various experimental animals by the injection of homogenised brain or spinal cord in Freund's adjuvant. The antigen appears to be a basic protein present in myelin and the response is characterised by focal areas of lymphocyte and macrophage infiltration into the brain, associated with demyelination and destruction of the blood-brain barrier. Sometimes used as a model for demyelinating diseases, although whether this is entirely justifiable is not clear. (18 Nov 1997) |
| zoster encephalomyelitis | Inflammation of the brain and spinal cord caused by varicella-zoster virus, a member of the family Herpesviridae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| acute viral conjunctivitis | An epidemic inflammation of the conjunctiva marked by follicles, especially in the lower fornix; may be caused by adenoviruses, herpesvirus, and Newcastle disease virus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| antibodies, viral | Immunoglobulins produced as a response to viral antigens; includes all classes of immunoglobulins elicited by all viral components. (12 Dec 1998) |
| 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) |
| avian viral arthritis virus | A virus of the genus Reovirus, family Reoviridae, causing tenosynovitis and arthritis in chickens. (05 Mar 2000) |
