| bovine virus diarrhoea-mucosal disease | Acute disease of cattle caused by the bovine viral diarrhoea virus (diarrhoea virus, bovine viral). Often mouth ulcerations are the only sign but fever, diarrhoea, drop in milk yield, and loss of appetite are also seen. Mortality is high in animals showing clinical signs, especially diarrhoea.

| Bunyamwera virus | A serologic group of the genus Bunyavirus, composed of over 150 virus types in the family Bunyaviridae. Origin: Bunyamwera, Uganda, where first isolated (05 Mar 2000) |
| B virus | A herpesvirus, in the family Herpesviridae, affecting Old World monkeys, that is very similar morphologically to herpes simplex virus; fatal infection may occur in humans following the bite of an infected monkey, although other modes of transmission have also been documented. Synonym: monkey B virus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Bwamba virus | A genus of viruses in the family Bunyaviridae; a serologic group of the genus Bunyavirus; associated with cases of Bwamba fever in Uganda. Origin: Bwamba, forest in Uganda where first isolated (05 Mar 2000) |
| California virus | A serologic group of the genus Bunyavirus, comprising over 14 strains including La Crosse and Tahyna virus, and the type strain, California virus, which causes encephalitis, chiefly in the age group 4 to 14 years. (05 Mar 2000) |
| camelpox virus | An orthopoxvirus causing camelpox in camels. (05 Mar 2000) |
| canarypox virus | A poxvirus of the genus Avipoxvirus causing a fatal disease of canaries, and also infecting sparrows. (05 Mar 2000) |
| canine distemper virus | An RNA virus of the genus Morbillivirus, a member of the family Paramyxoviridae, that causes canine distemper. Synonym: dog distemper virus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| caprine arthritis-encephalomyelitis virus | A lentivirus causing caprine arthritis-encephalomyelitis in goats. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Caraparu virus | A species of C group Bunyavirus and an agent of bunyavirus encephalitis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| rabbit fibroma virus | A poxvirus of the genus Leporipoxvirus, closely related to vaccinia and myxoma viruses, that causes Shope fibroma. Synonym: fibromatosis virus of rabbits, Shope fibroma virus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| rabbit myxoma virus | The poxvirus of the genus Leporipoxvirus causing myxomatosis of rabbits. Synonym: myxomatosis virus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| rabbitpox virus | An orthopoxvirus that causes epidemics of pox in laboratory rabbits; immunologically, it is closely related to vaccinia virus but is more virulent in rabbits. (05 Mar 2000) |
| rabies virus | <organism, virology> Species of the Rhabdoviridae that causes rabies in humans. The virus infects the cells in the brain, causing a fatal encephalomyelitis. It is found all over the world, but strict quarantine regulations have excluded it from Britain and Australia. The virus infects a number of domestic and wild mammals, whose saliva is infective. Some bats and small mammals can carry the virus without showing any symptoms of disease. (18 Nov 1997) |
| vaccinia virus | <molecular biology, virology> DNA viruses used in several biotechnology applications, including expression vector systems. Because they can hold quite a lot of DNA, they can be used to make more than one protein at once in a cell, which can be useful for making proteins with more than one polypeptide chain.
