| 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) |
| 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) |
| 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) |
| gonadotropins, equine | Polypeptide hormones secreted in pregnant mares at the junction of the placenta and endometrial cups. Preparations of this taken from the blood serum of pregnant mares have been used in the treatment of infertility, pituitary dwarfism, cryptorchidism, and other conditions in both human males and females. (12 Dec 1998) |
| rhinoviruses, equine | A group of viruses of the family picornaviridae, yet unclassified as to genus, though not a member of rhinovirus. They cause a disease in horses characterised by rhinitis, pharyngitis, and fever. (12 Dec 1998) |
| strongyle infections, equine | Infection of horses with parasitic nematodes of the superfamily strongyloidea. Characteristics include the development of haemorrhagic nodules on the abdominal peritoneum. (12 Dec 1998) |
| equine | <zoology> Relating to, affecting, resembling or derived from a horse. (09 Oct 1997) |
| equine babesiosis | <veterinary> A disease of horses caused by species of Babesia and characterised by high fever, icterus, and enlargement of the spleen and lymph nodes. Synonym: biliary fever of horses, equine biliary fever. (05 Mar 2000) |
| equine biliary fever | <veterinary> A disease of horses caused by species of Babesia and characterised by high fever, icterus, and enlargement of the spleen and lymph nodes. Synonym: biliary fever of horses, equine biliary fever. (05 Mar 2000) |
| equine coital exanthema | <veterinary> A disease of horses caused by equine herpesvirus 3 and characterised by pustular and ulcerative lesions on the vaginal and vestibular mucosa and on the skin of the penis, prepuce, and the perineal region. (05 Mar 2000) |
| equine encephalitis | <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) |
