1
Q
(Corynebacterium Pseudotuberculosis)
- Disease
- Host
- Transmission
- Clinical Signs
- Path
- Diagnosis
- Treatment
- Immunity
- simllar to what?
A
- Caseous lymphadenitis in sheep/goats
ulcerative lymphaginitis in cattle/horse
- sheep, goats, cattle, horses
- through skin from contaminated soil
- (cattle/goat/sheep)
skin –> LN of neck/lungs –> abcesses in head/neck region
(horses)
same thing but in lower pectoral limb
- Cx, smear
- lance LN, topical Abx
- no vx
- mycoplasma, cell wall has high content (resistant to phag killing)
2
Q
(Anaplasma Marginale)
- Disease
- Host
- Transmission
- Clinical Signs
- Path
- Diagnosis
- Treatment
- Immunity
- why worse in old?
A
- Bovine Anaplasmosis
- cattle, deer, bison, ruminants
- tick/flies (mechanical too)
- acute = fever, death
chronic = emaciation/anemia
- invaginate RBC (inclusion bodies contain parasites)
- culture, smear
- aureomycin in beef feed, oxytetracyline
- none (mess up surveillance)
- greater immune response
3
Q
(Anaplasma Platys)
- Disease
- Host
- Transmission
- Clinical Signs
- Path
- Diagnosis
- Treatment
- Immunity
A
- infectious cyclic thrombocytopenia
- dogs
- tick
- none (mild fever)
- replicates in platelets
- serology (blood smear not good cause not much in blood)
- tetracyclines
- no vx
4
Q
(Anaplasma Phagocytophilum)
- Disease
- Host
- Transmission
- Clinical Signs
- Path
- Diagnosis
- Treatment
- Immunity
- suspect this when dogs neg for what?
A
- Erlichiosis, pasture fever
- horse, cow, dog, deer
accidental = human
reservoir = rodents
- ticks
- mild genx
- replicate in granulocytes (neutrophils)
- blood smear, Ab
- doxycyline
- no vx
recovery = lifelong immunity
- E. Canis
5
Q
(Ehrlichia Canis (E. weingii, E. Chafeensis))
- Disease
- Host
- Transmission
- Clinical Signs
- Path
- Diagnosis
- Treatment
- Immunity
A
- Canine Ehrlicosis
- dogs
- ticks
- acute/sub/chronic
genx
- C’s infect monocytes
E infect neutrophils
- platelet counts, blood smear (tough), Ab
- doxycycline or cloramphenicol
- no vx
6
Q
(Neorickettsia Helminthoeca)
- Disease
- Host
- Transmission
- Clinical Signs
- Path
- Diagnosis
- Treatment
A
- Salmon Poisoning Disease
- dogs
- ingestion of infected fluke in fish
- high fever, bloody diarrhea, fatal
- rep in phags
- ova in feces, org in phags, history
- support
penicillin/sulfonamides
7
Q
(Neorickettsia Risticii)
- Disease
- Host
- Transmission
- Clinical Signs
- Path
- Diagnosis
- Treatment
- Immunity
- How different from other Rickettsiales
A
- Potomac Horse Fever (equine monocytic ehrlichiosis)
- horses & ponies
- ingestion of infected freshwater snail
- high fever, bloody diarrhea, abort in mid trimester
- rep in intestinal tract
- serology
- tetracyline
support
- vx (doesn’t guarantee protection)
- unlike other Rickettsiales - high strain variation (affects severity)
