Slow virus infections of the central nervous system.
The major slow viral infections discovered in man manifest themselves in chronic neurological disease. Studies of these diseases have allowed a better understanding of the mechanisms of virus persistence in the central nervous system. Findings are summarized from recent investigations on such slow viral infections as subacute sclerosing panencephalitis, progressive multifocal leukoencephalopath...
متن کاملVirus diseases of the central nervous system; a review.
CLASSIFICATION The virus diseases of the central nervous system are of growing importance. Some are apparently increasing in incidence, others are newly recognized. Even in a country like Great Britain the more exotic types may be seen in these days when air travel has brought the remotest parts of the tropics within one or two days' travelling time of North-western Europe. They may be classifi...
متن کامل[Slow virus infections of the nervous system].
The term "slow infection" was coined originally in the veterinary literature to describe several trans missible diseases of sheep. 1 Two of these diseases, scrapie and visna, have become the prototypes of slow infection of the central nervous system (CNS). After inoculation of sheep with tissues from an in fected sheep, a latent period of one or more years ensues, during which the sheep appea...
متن کاملADENOSINE IN THE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM
Besides being a metabolite of nucleotides like ATP, adenosine is a mediator of neuronal function in the central nervous system. Its actions are mediated by at least three extracellular receptors. In this review different aspects of adenosine such as biosynthesis, release, inactivation and its receptors are discussed. It also covers pre- and postsynaptic effects as well as postreceptor mecha...
متن کاملInfectious diseases of the central nervous system.
Neurologic disease is seen commonly in cats, with infectious causes accounting for 30-45% of cases. However, since a specific infection cannot be identified in 12-40% of these cases, it is essential that we try to understand these cases better in the hope that we can eventually identify the cause(s), and so determine how best to treat and/or prevent them.
