RGD DISEASE ONTOLOGY - ANNOTATIONS

RGD uses the Human Disease Ontology (DO, https://disease-ontology.org/) for disease curation across species. RGD automatically downloads each new release of the ontology on a monthly basis. Some additional terms which are required for RGD's curation purposes but are not currently covered in the official version of DO have been added. As corresponding terms are added to DO, these custom terms are retired and the DO terms substituted in existing annotations and subsequently used for curation.
Term:tetanus

Accession:DOID:11338 term browser browse the term
Definition:A primary bacterial infectious disease that results in prolonged contraction of skeletal muscle fibers, has_material_basis_in Clostridium tetani, which produces tetanospasmin, a neurotoxin, which is carried to the brain and spinal cord, where it binds irreversibly to receptors inhibiting neurotransmission. Damaged upper motor neurons cannot control reflex responses to afferent sensory stimuli. (DO)
Synonyms:exact_synonym: clostridial tetanus;   infection due to Clostridium tetani
 primary_id: MESH:D013742
 alt_id: RDO:0006683
 xref: EFO:0005593;   GARD:5144;   ICD10CM:A35;   ICD9CM:037;   NCI:C85185
