| sporadic bovine leukosis | A rare disease of cattle less than 3 years of age, of unknown cause, characterised by the development of lymphosarcoma; three clinicopathological forms are recognised: calf or juvenile form, thymic form, and cutaneous form. (05 Mar 2000) |
| spot test for infectious mononucleosis | A slide test widely used for the diagnosis of infectious mononucleosis, based on the principle that the heterophil antibodies that occur in the serum of patients with infectious mononucleosis are absorbed by beef red cells but not by guinea pig kidney cells; thus, when horse red cells (which provoke heterophil antibodies) are mixed with patient serum and agglutination occurs in the presence of beef red cells, the presumptive diagnosis is infectious mononucleosis.

| immunodeficiency virus, bovine | A species of lentivirus, subgenus bovine lentiviruses (lentiviruses, bovine), found in cattle and causing lymphadenopathy, lymphocytosis, central nervous system lesions, progressive weakness, and emaciation.

| infectious anaemia virus, equine | A species of lentivirus, subgenus equine lentiviruses (lentiviruses, equine), causing acute and chronic infection in horses. It is transmitted mechanically by biting flies, mosquitoes, and midges, and iatrogenically through unsterilised equipment. Chronic infection often consists of acute episodes with remissions.
