(11) Paramyxoviridae Flashcards
(Paramyxoviridae)
- What order?
(structure)
- What is the symmetry?
- genome?
- 15k genome codes for how many proteins?
- What is the replication site?
- How do they get out of cell?
- Does it have spikes?
- what does nucleic acid look like inside?
- mononegavirales
- helical capsid
- (-) ssRNA
- 10-12 proteins
- cytoplasmic replication
- budding from the plasma membrane
- yes
- helical
(Virion Proteins)
1-2. What are the two classes of proteins?
- membrane proteins
- nucleocapsid proteins
(then look at this a little bit - I don’t really want to know this - it seems like he is focusing on the fact that different types contain different proteins)

(Virus Replcation_
learn this

1-2. What are the two major families of Paramyxoviridae?
- Paramyxovirinae
- Pneumovirinae
look at these a little

AND THIS

(Newcastle Disease (Avian Paramyxovirus 1))
- Disease of birds including domestic poultry that affects what three areas?
- Contagious?
- How stable?
- Devastating epidemics in poultry
- one of the major threats to poulty industry
- need to report?
- Respiratory, GI, CNS
- highly (worldwide)
- stable (persists in flocks and carcasses)
- maybe
(Pathogenesis of Newcastle Disease (AP1))
- Replicates where?
(three strains)
- mild
- intermediate
- highly virulent
- zoonotic?
- epithelial cells of upper respiratory and intestinal tracts
- lentogenic
- mesogenic
- velogenic
- mildly (conjuctivitis)
(Pathogenesis of Newcastle Disease (AP1))
- incubation period?
- growth?
- 4-6 days
- leads to poor growth - poor egg production
(Diagnosis of Newcastle Disease)
- Clinical signs - combo of what three things?
- Gross lesions - hemorrhage where?
- respiratory, diarrhea, and CNS signs
- trachea and gizzard
(Canine Distemper (Morbillivirus)
- Most important disease of dogs?
- most common when?
- Mortality and morbidity in unvaccinated?
- Labile virus - readily destroyed by what?
- yes
- 4-6 months of age
- high in both
- disinfectants
(Pathogenesis of Canine Distemper cont)
- virus shed within what?
- What is the mortality rate?
- What form is most serious in dogs?
- all body secretions
- 30-80%
- CNS (may have lingering CNS effects)
Look at this slide

and this one

(Diagnosis of Distemper)
1-3. What three ways is this done?
- paired serology: ELISA, IFA, VN
- Localization of viral antigen by IFA
- Virus Isolation from buffy coat (difficult)

(Control of Canine Distemper)
he just sped right through this

Rinderpest (Morbillivirus)
- Is a virus serologically related to what other two viruses?
- Host range?
- where at?
- Labile? what does this mean?
- canine distemper and measles virus
- cattle, water buffalo, sheep, goats, camels, pigs
- mostly Africa
- yes - can be destroyed by disinfectants
Rinderpest (Morbillivirus)
- mortality
- Signs?
- recovery?
- 90-100%
- Fever, weakness, depression, respiratory distress, diarrhea
- 4-5 weeks (immune of rlife)
Rinderpest (Morbillivirus)


Rinderpest (Morbillivirus)


(Control of Rinderpest)
- Importation from endemic countries forbidden
- What is used in endiemic countries?
- -
- attenuated live vaccines
don’t think we really need to know this

(Bovine Respiratory Syncytial Virus (BRSV))
- genus what?
- Causes disease in cattle of what age?
- Major cause of what in calves during the first year of life?
- During outbreak… morbidity? mortality?
- may infect what else?
- genus pneumovirus
- cattle of all ages
- respiratory diseases
- high, usually low
- sheep and goat
(Bovine Respiratory Syncytial Virus (BRSV))
(Clincal Disease)
- Subclinical infections may occur
ach - just read this

(Bovine Respiratory Syncytial Virus (BRSV))

(Bovine Respiratory Syncytial Virus (BRSV))
(Epidemiology)
- common when cattle and sheep confined together
- stress of transportation
- common when?
- spreads through what?
- Existing immunity reduces clinical disease
- winter
- respiratory secretions
