| infectious arteritis virus of horses | <virology> A virus of the genus Pestivirus, a member of the family Togaviridae, that causes equine viral arteritis. It is probably the most common cause of equine influenza and an important equine respiratory disease frequently causing abortion, pneumonia, or other infections. Synonym: infectious arteritis virus of horses. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| infectious avian bronchitis | A specific infectious disease of young birds, caused by infectious bronchitis virus, a member of Coronaviridae, and associated with blocking of respiratory passages by exudate; it is highly transmissible, and often causes heavy losses of young chicks and heavy production losses among older laying birds. Synonym: gasping disease. (05 Mar 2000) |
| infectious bronchitis virus | An RNA virus of the family Coronaviridae and the type species of the genus Coronavirus, causing infectious avian bronchitis, being most pathogenic in chicks up to about 4 weeks of age; not to be confused with avian infectious laryngotracheitis virus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| infectious bronchitis virus, avian | A species of coronavirus causing infections in chickens and possibly pheasants. Chicks up to 4 weeks old are the most severely affected. (12 Dec 1998) |
| infectious bulbar paralysis | A highly contagious herpes virus infection affecting the central nervous system of swine, cattle, dogs, cats, rats, and other animals. (12 Dec 1998) |
| infectious bursal disease | A highly contagious acute disease of chickens caused by the infectious bursal disease virus and characterised by whitish diarrhoea, dehydration, prostration, and destruction of the bursa of Fabricius, compromising the bird's immune system. Synonym: Gumboro disease. (05 Mar 2000) |
| infectious bursal disease virus | A species of avibirnavirus causing severe inflammation of the bursa of fabricius in chickens and other fowl. Transmission is thought to be through contaminated feed or water. Vaccines have been used with varying degrees of success. (12 Dec 1998) |
| infectious canine hepatitis | A disease of dogs, caused by canine adenovirus 1, and characterised by fever, depression, loss of appetite, vomiting, bloody diarrhoea, petechial haemorrhages in the gums, pale mucous membranes, and jaundice. Synonym: hepatitis contagiosa canis, Rubarth's disease. (05 Mar 2000) |
| infectious conjunctivitis | <ophthalmology> Inflammation of the conjunctiva of the eye that results from infection with a virus. Adenovirus is a common cause of viral conjunctivitis. Occasionally referred to as pink eye. (13 Nov 1997) |
| infectious coryza | An acute respiratory disease of chickens caused by the bacterium Haemophilus paragallinarum and characterised by nasal discharge, sneezing, and swelling of the face under the eyes; also occurs in pheasants, guinea fowl, and turkeys. (05 Mar 2000) |
| infectious disease | A disease resulting from the presence and activity of a microbial agent. (05 Mar 2000) |
| infectious ectromelia virus | A virus belonging to the family Poxviridae morphologically similar to vaccinia virus, which occurs as a latent infection in laboratory mice, but which may be activated by stresses such as irradiation and transport to cause disease; inoculation into the footpad results in oedema and necrosis. Synonym: ectromelia virus, mousepox virus, pseudolymphocytic choriomeningitis virus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| infectious eczematoid dermatitis | An inflammatory reaction of skin adjacent to the site of a pyogenic infection; e.g., purulent otitis, the area around a colostomy, or intranasal infection; thought to be due to a local sensitization to the resident organisms. (05 Mar 2000) |
| infectious enterohepatitis | A disease chiefly affecting turkeys, caused by Histomonas meleagridis and characterised by ulcerative and necrotic lesions of the liver and caecum, acute onset, and a high mortality rate. It is transmitted inside the eggs of the nematode Heterakis gallinae, which is primarily responsible for maintaining and spreading the infection. Synonym: blackhead, infectious enterohepatitis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| infectious granuloma | Any granulomatous lesion known to be caused by a living agent; e.g., bacteria, fungi, helminths. (05 Mar 2000) |
