| infectious porcine encephalomyelitis | Porcine polioencephalomyelitis; a disease of swine caused by porcine enterovirus 1 and resembling human poliomyelitis; it is characterised by stiffness, convulsions, paralysis, and prostration, and is widespread in Europe, with most serious losses occurring in Poland and the Czech Republic and Slovakia. Synonym: infectious porcine encephalomyelitis, porcine polioencephalomyelitis. Origin: Teschen, Silisia (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| infectious porcine encephalomyelitis virus | A picornavirus causing Teschen disease of pigs; the virus is normally a harmless inhabitant of the intestinal tract, but virulent strains cause epizootics of the disease. Synonym: infectious porcine encephalomyelitis virus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Theiler's mouse encephalomyelitis virus | A virus in the family Picornaviridae. Synonym: Theiler's original virus, Theiler's virus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| theiler's murine encephalomyelitis virus | A species of cardiovirus which causes poliomyelitis in rats. It should not be confused with the strain of encepalomyocarditis virus called encephalomyelitis virus, murine, which is also a cardiovirus. (12 Dec 1998) |
| eastern equine encephalomyelitis | A form of mosquito-borne equine encephalomyelitis seen in the eastern U.S. And caused by the eastern equine encephalomyelitis virus, a species of Alphavirus, which belongs to the family Togaviridae; initial fever and viraemia are followed by signs of central nervous system involvement (excitement, then somnolence, paralysis, and death); the incidence of clinical infection in man is low but case fatality may be high. (05 Mar 2000) |
| eastern equine encephalomyelitis virus | A virus of the genus Alphavirus (formerly group A arbovirus), in the family Togaviridae, occurring in the eastern United States; it is normally present in certain wild birds as an inapparent infection, but is capable of causing eastern equine encephalomyelitis in horses and humans following transfer by the bites of culicine mosquitoes. Synonym: EEE virus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| encephalomyelitis | Inflammation of the brain and spinal cord, usually caused by viral, bacterial, fungal, or parasitic agents. (12 Dec 1998) |
| encephalomyelitis, allergic | An experimental demyelinating disease produced in animals by injections of myelin fractions in order to study the relationship between hypersensitivity and the demyelinating diseases. (12 Dec 1998) |
| encephalomyelitis associated with carcinoma | An encephalomyelopathy as a remote effect of carcinoma, most often oat cell carcinoma of the lung; characterised by extensive nerve cell loss, which may be diffuse, but often predominates in particular portions of the central nervous system, particularly the limbic lobes, medulla, cerebellum, and gray matter of the spinal cord. Synonym: carcinomatous encephalomyelopathy, encephalomyelitis associated with carcinoma, paracarcinomatous encephalomyelopathy. (05 Mar 2000) |
| encephalomyelitis, enzootic porcine | A picornavirus infection producing symptoms similar to poliomyelitis in pigs. (12 Dec 1998) |
| 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) |
