| anicteric virus hepatitis | A relatively mild hepatitis, without jaundice, due to a virus; the principal physical signs and symptoms are enlargement of the liver, lymph nodes, and often the spleen, together with headache, continuous fatigue, nausea, anorexia, sudden distaste for smoking, abdominal pains, and sometimes mild fever; labratory tests reveal evidence of hepatitis.

| A-P-C virus | <virology> An icosahedral (20-sided) virus that contains DNA, there are over 40 different adenovirus varieties, some of which cause the common cold. (10 May 1997) |
| Argentine haemorrhagic fever virus | A member of the Arenaviridae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| arteritis virus | A genus that is currently unclassified, arterivirus is likely to be part of coronaviridae or a new family. It was previously classified under togaviridae. The type species is arteritis virus, equine. (12 Dec 1998) |
| arthritis-encephalitis virus, caprine | A species of lentivirus, subgenus ovine-caprine lentiviruses (lentiviruses, ovine-caprine), closely related to visna-maedi virus and causing acute encephalomyelitis, chronic arthritis, pneumonia, mastitis, and glomerulonephritis in goats. It is transmitted mainly in the colostrum and milk. (12 Dec 1998) |
| attenuated virus | A weakened virus that is no longer virulent. Can be used to make a live virus vaccine. (12 Dec 1998) |
| Aujeszky's disease virus | A herpesvirus causing pseudorabies in swine. Synonym: Aujeszky's disease virus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Australian X disease virus | A group B arbovirus of the genus Flavivirus that causes Murray Valley encephalitis; it is transmitted by Culex mosquitoes, and also infects birds and horses. Synonym: Australian X disease virus, MVE virus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| avian encephalomyelitis virus | <virology> A virus of the genus Enterovirus (family Picornaviridae) causing avian infectious encephalomyelitis in young chicks. (05 Mar 2000) |
| avian erythroblastosis virus | <virology> Group of C type RNA tumour viruses (Oncovirinae) that cause various leukaemias and other tumours in birds. The acute leukaemia viruses, that are replication defective and require helper viruses, include avian erythroblastosis (AEV), myeloblastosis (AMV) and myelo cytomatosis viruses. AEV carries two transforming genes, v erbA and v erbB, the cellular homologue of the latter is the structural gene for the epidermal growth factor receptor. AMV carries v myb and causes a myeloid leukaemia, avian myelocytomatosis virus carries v myc. The avian lymphatic leukaemia viruses (ALV) are also Retroviridae but are replication competent and induce neoplasia only after several months, they often occur in conjunction with replication defective leukaemia viruses. (02 Jan 1998) |
| avian infectious laryngotracheitis virus | <virology> A herpesvirus causing avian infectious laryngotracheitis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| avian influenza virus | <virology> A type A influenza virus (genus Influenzavirus) that causes fowl plague. Synonym: fowl plague virus. (05 Mar 2000) |
