parvoviral (par·vo·vi·ral) (pahr´vo-vi”vəl)  pertaining to or caused by parvoviruses.

Parvoviridae (Par·vo·vi·ri·dae) (pahr”vo-vir´ĭ-de)  the parvoviruses: a family of DNA viruses having a nonenveloped virion 18–26 nm in diameter composed of 60 copies of the capsid protein with icosahedral symmetry. The genome consists of a single molecule of linear single-stranded DNA (MW 1.5–2.2 × 106, size 4–6 kb). Viruses contain 2–4 major polypeptides, depending on the species, and are resistant to heat, lipid solvents, deoxycholate, and nucleases but sensitive to formalin, β-propiolactone, hydroxylamine, oxidizing agents, and ultraviolet radiation. Replication and assembly occur in the nucleus and require S-phase cellular function in the host cell or the presence of helper virus. Host range is narrow and transmission may be vertical or by mechanical vectors. There are two subclasses: Densovirinae, comprising genera that infect invertebrates, and Parvovirinae, comprising genera that infect vertebrates.

Parvovirinae (Par·vo·vi·ri·nae) (pahr”vo-vir-i´ne)  a subfamily of the family Parvoviridae, containing parvoviruses that infect vertebrates; it comprises three genera: Dependovirus, Erythrovirus, and Parvovirus.

Parvovirus (Par·vo·vi·rus) (pahr´vo-vi”rəs) [parvo- + virus]  parvoviruses; a genus of viruses of the subfamily Parvovirinae (family Parvoviridae) that infect mammals and birds. Viruses multiply in the nucleus and require S-phase cellular functions for replication. Transmission is transplacental or by mechanical vector. Human parvoviruses cause transient aplastic crisis, acute arthritis, erythema infectiosum, hydrops fetalis, spontaneous abortion, and fetal death. Animal pathogens include bovine, canine, feline, and goose parvoviruses, feline panleukopenia virus, mink enteritis virus, Aleutian mink disease virus, and various murine parvoviruses.

parvovirus (par·vo·vi·rus) (pahr´vo-vi”rəs) [L. parvus small + virus]  any virus belonging to the family Parvoviridae.

bovine p.  a virus of the genus Parvovirus infecting cattle that causes diarrhea in calves; infection during the first or second trimesters of gestation may result in abortion. Infection is widespread and antibody to the virus can be found in a high proportion of adult cattle.

canine p.  a virus of the genus Parvovirus that causes myocarditis in dogs and a type of enteritis called canine parvovirus disease; it is sometimes considered to be a species-specific variant of feline parvovirus.

feline p.  a virus of the genus Parvovirus that primarily affects cats. Canine parvovirus, feline panleukopenia virus, and mink enteritis virus are sometimes considered to be host-specific variant strains.

goose p.  a virus of the genus Parvovirus that causes a highly fatal disease of young geese affecting the liver, thyroid, and pancreas.

human p. B19  B19 virus.

human p. RA-1  a species belonging to the genus Parvovirus that has been associated with rheumatoid arthritis.

parvule (par·vule) (pahr´vūl) [L. parvulus very small]  a very small pill, pellet, or granule.

Paryphostomum (Par·y·phos·to·mum) (par”e-fos´to-məm)  a genus of flukes related to Echinostoma.

PAS (PAS)  p-aminosalicylic acid; periodic acid–Schiff (see under reaction).

PASA (PASA)  p-aminosalicylic acid.

Pascal's law (Pas·cal's law) (pahs-kahlz´) [Blaise Pascal, French mathematician and physicist, 1623–1662]  see under law.

pascal (pas·cal) (Pa) (pas-kal´, pas´kal) [after Blaise Pascal]  the SI unit of pressure, which corresponds to a force of one newton per square meter.

Paschen's bodies (corpuscles, granules) (Pa·schen's bodies (corpuscles, granules)) (pah´shenz) [Enrique Paschen, German pathologist, 1860–1936]  see under body.

Paser (Pas·er) (pās´er)  trademark for a preparation of aminosalicylic acid.

PASG (PASG)  pneumatic antishock garment.

paspalism (pas·pal·ism) (pas´pəl-iz-əm)  poisoning of livestock by ingestion of excessive amounts of Paspalum commersonii or P. scrobiculatum, grasses containing neurotoxic hydrocarbons; characteristics include tremor, convulsions, and coma. See also paspalum staggers, under staggers.

Paspalum (Pas·pa·lum) (pas´pə-ləm)  a genus of grasses commonly eaten by livestock in Asia and Africa. Some species contain a toxic hydrocarbon that can cause paspalism; other species are sometimes contaminated with an ergot and cause paspalum staggers.

paspalum (pas·pa·lum) (pas´pə-ləm)  any grass of the genus Paspalum.

passage (pas·sage) (pas´əj)  1. a channel.  2. an evacuation of the bowels.  3. introduction of infectious material into an experimental animal or culture medium, followed by recovery of the infectious agent.
 
serial p.  the successive transfer of a virus or other infectious agent through a series of experimental animals, tissue culture, or synthetic media, with growth occurring in each medium. The process is usually used to attenuate a pathogenic agent.
