| inbred strain | Any strain of animal or plant obtained by a breeding strategy that tends to lead to homozygosity. Such breeding strategies include brother sister mating and back crossing of offspring with parents. See: congenic. (18 Nov 1997) |

| isogenic strain | A strain of animals inbred for many generations and with high probability homozygous for certain specified genes. (05 Mar 2000) |
| type strain | The nomenclatural type of a species or subspecies. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Flury strain rabies virus | <organism, virology> Species of the Rhabdoviridae that causes rabies in humans. The virus infects the cells in the brain, causing a fatal encephalomyelitis. It is found all over the world, but strict quarantine regulations have excluded it from Britain and Australia. The virus infects a number of domestic and wild mammals, whose saliva is infective. Some bats and small mammals can carry the virus without showing any symptoms of disease. (18 Nov 1997) |
| Flury strain vaccine | An inactivated virus vaccine, used for preexposure immunization to persons at high risk of exposure, e.g., veterinarians, and in conjunction with rabies immunoglobulin, for postexposure prophylaxis. The official preparation is human diploid cell vaccine produced from rabies virus grown in cultures of human diploid embryo lung cells and inactivated with propriolactone. It has a much lower incidence of adverse reactions than the previously used duck embryo vaccine. (12 Dec 1998) |
| lysogenic strain | A strain of bacterium that is infected with a temporate bacteriophage. See: lysogeny. (05 Mar 2000) |
