  We present the derivation of second-order relativistic viscous hydrodynamics
from an effective Boltzmann equation for a system consisting of quasiparticles
of a single species. We consider temperature-dependent masses of the
quasiparticles and devise a thermodynamically-consistent framework to formulate
second-order evolution equations for shear and bulk viscous pressure
corrections. The main advantage of this formulation is that one can
consistently implement realistic equation of state of the medium within the
framework of kinetic theory. Specializing to the case of one-dimensional
purely-longitudinal boost-invariant expansion, we study the effect of this new
formulation on viscous hydrodynamic evolution of strongly-interacting matter
formed in relativistic heavy-ion collisions.
