Q

What does Leptospira hardjo causes? What is the reservoir? How do we diagnose?

A

Bovine abortion, infertility and milk loss
Reservoir: cattle and sheep co-grazing/water/introduction of new animals/shared bull
Diagnose: paired serology

Q

What is bovine infectious infertility?

A

Caused by Campylobacter fetus venerealis

On MM and prepuce of mature bull as lifelong asymptomatic infection

Infection of the cow causes catarrhal inflammation of the genital tract

This causes endometritis and inflammation

MM and prepuce of mature bull
Detect by culture:
Sheath washing or products of abortion

18
Q

What type of pathogen is Chlamydophila abortus? What does it cause?

A 
Enzootic abortion in sheep
Obligate intracellular pathogen
Persistent infection
Late pregnancy abortion in ewes
Subsequent fertility NOT imparied
19
Q

What is the reservoir for Chlamydophila abortus? What detection and prevention is there?

A

Sheep infection, faeces, birds
Venereal or oral transmission
Antigen detection by ELISA or Koster’s stain
Vaccination prevents new cases by does not clear established infection

20
Q

What is Koster’s stain?

A

Modified ZN

Weak carbol fuschin followed by 5% acetic acid then methylene blue

A

10% of ovine abortions (sporadic)

Resrvoir:

  • GI
  • Ingestion
  • Invasion
  • Blood
  • Bacteraemia
  • Placenta
  • Abortion
