BVD is a complex disease caused by a __________ group of related BVDV that differ in (3):
heterogeneous; antigenicity, cytopathogenicity, and virulence

worldwide
what are the routes of BVDV transmission
vertical and horizontal
what important bovine virus causes vertical and horizontal transmittion
BVDV
what are the two types of BVDV and which causes persistent infection
cytopathic and non-cytopathic; the latter causes persistent infection
what is the predominant biotype of BVDV in nature
non-cytopathic
what 2 factors influence the disease pattern of BVD within and between herds
1) herd immunity
2) presence or lack of persistently infected animals
what 2 host factors cause varying clinical and pathological manifestation of BVDV
age and pregnancy status of the animal
what are some signs of cytopathic BVDV
- erosive/ulcerative lesions of GI tract
- thrombocytopenia
- diarrhea
- nasal/ocular discharge
- ulcers in lips, mouth oral cavity
what are the 3 outcomes of fetal infection with BVDV:
1) early pregnancy
2) mid pregnancy
3) later pregnancy
1) embryonic death and resorption
2) persistent infection WITH tolerance
3) immune response and elimination of virus
how does mucosal disease from BVDV develop
when a persistently infected animal (aka non-cytopathic) becomes infected with a cytopathic strain
what is a critical aspect of BVDV control
identifying and culling persistently infected animals within the herd
what 3 diseases in cattle cause oral lesions
1) FMD
2) BVDV
3) malignant catarrhal fever
togaviridae:
- type of genome
- enveloped/nonenveloped
- (+) ssRNA
- enveloped
how are togaviruses spread
arthropod vectors (they are arboviruses)
all 3 togaviruses are _________ and __________
arboviruses; zoonotic
what is the ultimate outcome of togavirus infection
-viral infection invades into brain cortex -> paralysis and death
what are the 3 togaviruses
eastern equine encephalitis virus, western equine encephalitis virus, venezuelan equine encephalitis virus
what 4 arboviruses have we discussed
1) african swine fever virus
2) eastern equine encephalitis virus
3) western equine encephalitis virus
4) venezuelan equine encephalitis virus
arteriviridae:
- type of genome
- enveloped/nonenveloped
- (+) ssRNA

in what cells does arteriviridae replicate
macrophages and endothelial cells
what is the most important arterivirus discussed
PRRS
T/F PRRS is on the OIE list
T
what is the most economically important swine disease
PRRS
is PRRS frequently subclinical or clinical
subclinical
what is unique about PRRS survival and what does this mean for infection
survives well in low temperatures so see infections in the winter months
how is PRRS transmitted
horizontal via aerosol, semen, direct contact
what are the 2 main RESPIRATORY syndromes observed in an animal with PRRS and why
interstitial pneumonia (due to pulmonary macrophage infection and secondary pneumonia) and ear cyanosis
what is the main REPRODUCTIVE syndrome of PRRS
SMEDI; abortion; if born alive piglets weak and often die of pneumonia
