| BVD | bovine viral diarrhea |
|---|---|
| CVTR | charcoal viral transport medium |
| FVR | feline viral rhinotracheitis; forearm vascular resistance |
| PVS | percussion, vibration, suction; persistent vegetative state; persistent viral syndrome; Plummer-Vins... |
| SVE | slow volume encephalography; soluble viral extract; sterile vaginal examination |
| antigens, viral | Substances elaborated by viruses that have antigenic activity. (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| antigens, viral, tumour | Those proteins recognised by antibodies from serum of animals bearing tumours induced by viruses; these proteins are presumably coded for by the nucleic acids of the same viruses that caused the neoplastic transformation. (12 Dec 1998) |
| avian viral arthritis virus | A virus of the genus Reovirus, family Reoviridae, causing tenosynovitis and arthritis in chickens. (05 Mar 2000) |
| bronchiolitis, viral | An acute inflammatory disease of the upper respiratory tract, caused by paramyxoviruses, occurring primarily in infants and young children; the viruses most commonly implicated are parainfluenza type 3 and respiratory syncytial virus. (12 Dec 1998) |
| gene expression regulation, viral | Any of the processes by which cytoplasmic factors influence the differential control of gene action in viruses. (12 Dec 1998) |
| genes, structural, viral | DNA or RNA sequences that code for RNA and for the proteins required for the enzymatic and structural function of viral cells. (12 Dec 1998) |
| genes, viral | The hereditary material of viruses, consisting in all DNA and some RNA viruses of a single molecule of nucleic acid, and in some RNA viruses of several separate pieces of RNA. (12 Dec 1998) |
| genome, viral | The complete gene complement contained in a DNA or RNA molecule in a virus. (12 Dec 1998) |
| viral | Pertaining to, caused by or of the nature of virus. (18 Nov 1997) |
| viral alkaline nuclease | <enzyme> Has both exo and endonuclease activity Registry number: EC 3.1.- Synonym: hsv type 1 alkaline nuclease, herpes simplex virus type I alkaline nuclease, alkaline nuclease, herpes simplex virus (26 Jun 1999) |
| viral antigen | Those antigens specified by the viral genome (often coat proteins) that can be detected by a specific immunological response. Often of diagnostic importance. (18 Nov 1997) |
| viral cystitis | Bladder inflammation due to a viral infection. (05 Mar 2000) |
| viral dysentery | Profuse watery diarrhoea due to, or thought to be due to, infection by a virus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| viral encephalomyelitis | An encephalomyelitis due to a neurotropic virus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| viral envelope | The outer structure that encloses the nucleocapsids of some viruses; may contain host material. (05 Mar 2000) |
