| feline polioencephalomyelitis | A chronic disease of cats characterised by paraparesis and ataxia. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| feline rhinotracheitis virus | A herpesvirus that causes feline viral rhinotracheitis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| feline sarcoma | <oncology, tumour> An oncogene carried by one of the strains of the feline sarcoma virus (the Snyder-Theilen strain, Garden-Rasheed strain, McDonough strain). It causes the development of sarcoma tumours in cats. The normal product of the gene (as a proto-oncogene) seems to be a kinase enzyme that phosphorylates (attaches phosphate groups to) the amino acid tyrosine in polypeptides. (09 Oct 1997) |
| feline sarcoma virus | <virology> A retrovirus which carries an oncogene that causes feline sarcoma (a tumour-causing disease) in cats. (09 Oct 1997) |
| feline urolithiasis syndrome | <syndrome> A common disease of cats where development of urinary calculi produce urethral obstruction in males and cystitis and urethritis in females. Synonym: feline urolithiasis syndrome. (05 Mar 2000) |
| feline urological syndrome | <syndrome> A common disease of cats where development of urinary calculi produce urethral obstruction in males and cystitis and urethritis in females. Synonym: feline urolithiasis syndrome. (05 Mar 2000) |
| feline viral rhinotracheitis | An acute upper respiratory tract infection of cats caused by the feline rhinotracheitis virus; it is frequently fatal in kittens but mild in adults, who sometimes become convalescent carriers of the virus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lentiviruses, feline | A subgenus of lentivirus comprising viruses that produce multi-organ disease with long incubation periods in cats. (12 Dec 1998) |
| leukaemia, feline | A neoplastic disease of cats frequently associated with feline leukaemia virus infection. (12 Dec 1998) |
| leukaemia virus, feline | A species of mammalian type c retrovirus (retroviruses type c, mammalian) causing leukaemia, lymphosarcoma, immune deficiency, or other degenerative diseases in cats. Several cellular oncogenes confer on felv the ability to induce sarcomas (see also sarcoma virus, feline). (12 Dec 1998) |
| acute infectious nonbacterial gastroenteritis | An epidemic, highly communicable but rather mild disease of sudden onset, caused by the epidemic gastroenteritis virus (especially Norwalk agent), with an incubation period of 16 to 48 hours and a duration of 1 to 2 days, which affects all age groups; infection is associated with some fever, abdominal cramps, nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, and headache, one or another of which may be predominant. Synonym: acute infectious nonbacterial gastroenteritis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| arthritis, infectious | Arthritis caused by bacteria, rickettsiae, mycoplasmas, viruses, fungi, or parasites. Bacterial arthritis is frequently caused by staphylococcus aureus, streptococcus pneumoniae, haemophilus influenzae, and neisseria gonorrhoeae. Viral arthritis is less common than bacterial arthritis and may be a manifestation of such viral diseases as mumps, rubella, hepatitis, etc. (12 Dec 1998) |
| avian infectious encephalomyelitis | <veterinary> A disease of very young chicks caused by a picornavirus and characterised by tremor, ataxia, somnolence, and finally death. Synonym: epidemic tremor. (05 Mar 2000) |
| avian infectious laryngotracheitis virus | <virology> A herpesvirus causing avian infectious laryngotracheitis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| bone diseases, infectious | Bone diseases caused by pathogenic microorganisms. (12 Dec 1998) |
