(09) Arteriviridae Flashcards
The four kinds of arteriviridae (which are of the order nidovirales)
- Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome Virus
- Equine Arteritis Virus
- Simian Hemorrhagic Fever Virus
- Lactate Dehyrdogenase-elevating Virus
*SHE IS GIVING US SLIDES ON LAST TWO BUT DOESN:T EXPECT US TO KNOW ABOUT THEM
(Characteristics of Arterivirus)
- Enveloped or no?
- smooth or rough?
- shape?
- Has a tropism for what?
- enveloped
- smooth
- spherical
- macrophage
(Genome)
- genetic substance?
- linear, single stranded + sense RNA (has 5’cap and Poly A tail)
(it immediately starts replicating non-structural proteins then moves on to genome)
(Genome organization)
- nonstructural part - has own what to provide proteins for replication?
- Structural - has overlapping what?
- proteases
- reading frames - allows for more proteins with less info
(Characteristic of Arterivirus)
- HAve restricted host range - are they zoonotic?
- no
(Characteristics of Arteriviruses)
- How transmitted?
- do they mutate alot?
- Why is it important that they infect macrophages?
- Do they causes persistent/asympotmatic diseases or severe/fatol ones?
- contact/aerosol
- yep (infidelity of polymerase/ recombination)
- get past immune responses
- can be either
D
(PRRSV)
(Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome Virus)
- How many genotypes?
- endemic in most swine producing regions worldwide
- 2
(PRRSV)
just read through these
PRRSV disease
- Respiratory Disease in pigs of all ages - most severe in what though?
- Reproductive disease in pregnant sows - worst when?
- weaken defenses against secondary infections?
- growing pigs
- third trimester (abortions, stillbirths, mummified piglets, weak piglets)
- yes
give this a look
and this
but don’t remember any of these
she just wants us to know that there can be more than one pathogen at once
(Route of PRRS)
basically remember that it goes where pigs go - established by contact
(PRRSV transmission)
- stability in environment?
- Aerosol transmission documented over what distance?
- relatively unstable (enveloped), can survive in cold
- 9 km
(PRRSV diagnosis)
just read this - sorry seems like a waste of time to ask a bunch of questions about these when
(Tools for control and elimianation of PRRS)
- What are the two ways to combat PRRS?
- management and immunity
