| encephalomyelitis | Inflammation of the brain and spinal cord, usually caused by viral, bacterial, fungal, or parasitic agents. (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| encephalomyelitis, acute disseminated | An acute or subacute encephalomyelitis or myelitis characterised by perivascular lymphocyte and mononuclear cell infiltration and demyelination. It occurs most commonly following an acute viral infection, especially measles, but may occur without a recognizable antecedent, and formerly occurred as a complication of rabies and smallpox vaccination. (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) |
| enzootic encephalomyelitis | An encephalomyelitis of horses, sheep and cattle caused by an RNA virus. (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) |
| avian | <zoology> Relating to, affecting, resembling or derived from a bird. (02 Jan 1998) |
| avian achondroplasia | <veterinary> An achondroplasia seen in several breeds of domestic chickens. Inheritance: autosomal dominant. (05 Mar 2000) |
| avian adenovirus type 1 proteinase | <enzyme> 206 aa residues of which 66% are homologous to human ad2 emzyme embl/genbank l13161 Registry number: EC 3.4.22.- Synonym: aavl proteinase, aavl endopeptidase (26 Jun 1999) |
