| haemorrhagic fevers, viral | A group of viral diseases of diverse aetiology but having many similar clinical characteristics; increased capillary permeability, leukopenia, and thrombocytopenia are common to all. Haemorrhagic fevers are characterised by sudden onset, fever, headache, generalised myalgia, backache, conjunctivitis, and severe prostration, followed by various haemorrhagic symptoms. Haemorrhagic fever with kidney involvement is haemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome. (12 Dec 1998) |
| cytopathogenic effect, viral | Visible morphologic changes in cells infected with viruses. It includes shutdown of cellular RNA and protein synthesis, cell fusion, release of lysosomal enzymes, changes in cell membrane permeability, diffuse changes in intracellular structures, presence of viral inclusion bodies, and chromosomal aberrations. It excludes malignant transformation, which is cell transformation, viral. Viral cytopathogenic effects provide a valuable method for identifying and classifying the infecting viruses. (12 Dec 1998) |
| hepatitis, viral | Liver inflammation caused by viruses. Specific hepatitis viruses have been labelled a, b, c, d, e, f, and g. While other viruses, such as the mononucleosis (epstein-barr) virus and cytomegalovirus, can also cause hepatitis, the liver is not their primary target. (12 Dec 1998) |

| duck viral enteritis | A viral enteritis of ducks and other waterfowl in Europe, Asia, and the U.S. Caused by an anatid herpes virus 1; manifested by weakness, lethargy, and diarrhoea accompanied by catarrhal haemorrhagic enteritis and echymotic haemorrhages in organs and muscles. Synonym: duck viral enteritis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| duck viral hepatitis | An acute, highly contagious disease of young ducklings caused by an enterovirus and characterised by lethargy, spasmodic paddling and rapid death. (05 Mar 2000) |
