|---|---|
| Venezuelan equine encephalomyelitis virus | A group A arbovirus of the genus Alphavirus, family Togaviridae, occurring in Venezuela and several other South American countries, in Panama and Trinidad, and occasionally the United States causing Venezuelan equine encephalomyelitis in horses and humans; it seems to be more viscerotropic than neurotropic; the virus is transmitted by Culex mosquitoes. Synonym: VEE virus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Marburg virus | <organism, virology> A filovirus that causes Marburg disease, a severe haemorrhagic fever developed in many people who work with African green monkeys. (18 Nov 1997) |
| marburg virus disease | An RNA virus infection of rhesus, vervet, and squirrel monkeys transmissible to man. (12 Dec 1998) |
| Marek's disease virus | The herpesvirus that causes avian lymphomatosis (Marek's disease); is distinct from those causing other forms of leukosis. Synonym: avian lymphomatosis virus, fowl neurolymphomatosis virus, Marek's disease virus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| receptors, virus | Specific molecular components of the cell capable of recognizing and interacting with a virus, and which, after binding it, are capable of generating some signal that initiates the chain of events leading to the biological response. (12 Dec 1998) |
| paravaccinia virus | A species of parapoxvirus causing a pox-like disease on udders of cows that may spread to milkers. (12 Dec 1998) |
| marmoset virus | A herpesvirus obtained repeatedly from throat swabs and tissues of New World monkeys. (05 Mar 2000) |
| German measles virus | The type (and only) species of rubivirus causing acute infection in humans, primarily children and young adults. Humans are the only natural host. A live, attenuated vaccine is available for prophylaxis. (12 Dec 1998) |
| Germiston virus | A virus in the genus Bunyavirus, family Bunyaviridae (05 Mar 2000) |
| masked virus | A virus ordinarily occurring in the host in a noninfective state, but which may be activated and demonstrated by special procedures such as blind passage in experimental animals. (05 Mar 2000) |
| mason-pfiser monkey virus | The type species of type d retroviruses (retroviruses, type d) isolated from mammary carcinoma and normal tissues in rhesus monkeys. It appears to have evolved from a recombination between a murine b oncovirus and a primate c oncovirus related to the baboon endogenous virus. Mpmv induces simian aids (saids). (12 Dec 1998) |
| Mason-Pfiser virus | A D-type retrovirus in the subfamily Oncornaviridae that was isolated from a mammary carcinoma of a rhesus monkey. (05 Mar 2000) |
| vesicular exanthema of swine virus | The type species of the genus calicivirus, an RNA virus infecting pigs. The resulting infection is an acute febrile disease which is clinically indistinguishable from foot and mouth disease. Transmission is by contaminated food. (12 Dec 1998) |
| vesicular stomatitis-indiana virus | The type species of vesiculovirus causing a disease symptomatically similar to foot-and-mouth disease in cattle, horses, and pigs. It may be transmitted to other species including humans, where it causes influenza-like symptoms. (12 Dec 1998) |
