| simian malaria | Plasmodial infection of monkeys and apes, as with human malaria, transmitted chiefly by anopheline mosquitoes; a number of Plasmodium species are responsible, with Southeast Asia and Africa being the apparent centres of evolution; among the 20 plasmodial agents described from nonhuman primates, some resemble and induce a malarial infection similar to those caused by the four species of Plasmodium from humans, from which the agents of human malaria appear to be derived. Synonym: monkey malaria. (05 Mar 2000) |
| african swine fever virus | The lone species of the genus african swine fever-like viruses. The virus causes a fatal disease among domestic pigs in africa and a less virulent infection in europe. The virus is present in soft ticks (ornithodoros moubata), warthogs, or domestic pigs. Originally listed as a species of iridoviridae, the virus exhibits some similarities to poxviridae but its differences warranted placement in a separate genus of an, as yet unknown, family.

| bovine ephemeral fever virus | A rhabdovirus causing bovine ephemeral fever in cattle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| malignant catarrhal fever virus | A herpesvirus of wide distribution causing malignant catarrhal fever of cattle; sheep and wildebeests harbor inapparent infections and may transmit the virus to cattle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| rift valley fever virus | A mosquito-borne species of the phlebovirus genus and member of the sandfly fever group viruses found in eastern, central, and southern africa, producing massive hepatitis, abortion, and death in sheep, goats, cattle, and other animals. It also has caused disease in humans. (12 Dec 1998) |

| ephemeral fever virus | A rhabdovirus that causes ephemeral fever of cattle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ephemeral fever virus, bovine | The type species of ephemerovirus causing disease in cattle. Transmission is by haematophagous arthropods and the virus has been isolated from both culicoides and mosquitoes. (12 Dec 1998) |
| yellow fever virus | <virology> A togavirus (Class IV) with an RNA genome responsible for the disease of the name whose symptoms include fever and haemorrhage. Transmitted by the mosquitoes Aedes aegypti and Haemagogus. Only one antigenic type of the virus known and causes fatal hepatitis in many primates, including humans. This virus is endemic to areas of Africa, South America and the Carribean and has been a major epidemic threat. (11 May 1997) |
