| vesicular stomatitis | A vesicular disease of horses, cattle, swine, and occasionally man caused by a vesiculovirus (vesicular stomatitis virus); in horses and cattle the disease usually causes mouth vesicles which, in cattle, cannot be differentiated clinically from those of foot-and-mouth disease.

| 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) |
| Vincent's stomatitis | <pathology> An acute or recurrent form of gingivitis of young to middle-aged adults characterised by red and painful gums, fetid breath and gum destruction. Other features may include fever and enlargement of the regional lymph nodes. Pathogenesis of this condition is thought to be secondary to a fusiform bacillus and spirochetal (Treponema vincentii) microorganisms. (27 Sep 1997) |
| gonococcal stomatitis | Inflammatory and ulcerative oral lesions resulting from infection with Neisseria gonorrhoeae; usually primary as a result of oral-genital contact, but occasionally is the result of gonococcaemia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| mercurial stomatitis | Alterations of the oral mucosa arising from chronic mercury poisoning; may consist of mucosal erythema and oedema, ulceration, and deposition of mercurial sulfide in inflamed tissues, resulting in oral pigmentation resembling that of lead stomatitis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| contagious pustular stomatitis virus | The poxvirus causing horsepox. Synonym: contagious pustular stomatitis virus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| primary herpetic stomatitis | First infection of oral tissues with herpes simplex virus; characterised by gingival inflammation, vesicles, and ulcers. (05 Mar 2000) |
| stomatitis | <pathology> Inflammation of the oral mucosa, due to local or systemic factors which may involve the buccal and labial mucosa, palate, tongue, floor of the mouth and the gingivae. (18 Nov 1997) |
| stomatitis, aphthous | A recurrent disease of the oral mucosa of unknown aetiology. It is characterised by small white ulcerative lesions, single or multiple, round or oval. Two to eight crops of lesions occur per year, lasting for 7 to 14 days and then heal without scarring. (12 Dec 1998) |
| stomatitis, denture | Inflammation of the mouth due to denture irritation. (12 Dec 1998) |
| stomatitis, herpetic | Stomatitis caused by herpes virus hominis. It usually occurs as acute herpetic stomatitis (or gingivostomatitis), an oral manifestation of primary herpes simplex seen primarily in children and adolescents. (12 Dec 1998) |
| stomatitis medicamentosa | Inflammatory alterations of the oral mucosa associated with a systemic drug allergy; lesions may consist of erythema, vesicles, bullae, ulcerations, or angioneurotic oedema. (05 Mar 2000) |
| stomatitis papulosa | A Parapoxvirus infection of cattle causing oral lesions. Synonym: stomatitis papulosa. (05 Mar 2000) |
| nicotine stomatitis | Heat stimulated lesions, usually on the palate, that begin with erythema and progress to multiple white papules with a red dot in the centre. The red dot represents a dilated, inflamed salivary duct orifice. (05 Mar 2000) |
