LPS, adenylate cyclase toxin, dermonecrotic toxin, histamine sensitizing factor
What does Bordatella bronchiseptica cause in pigs?
Atrophic rhinitis
Eventually, Bordatella bronchiseptica causes cilial stasis. What is the toxin that causes tehis?
Dermonecrotic toxin
Bordatella bronhciseptica in pigs usually sets up an infection with _______ that can release a toxin that causes degeneration of osteoblasts and osteocysts resulting in turbinate atrophy
Pasturella multocida type D
T/F Atrophic rhinitis can affect pigs of any age
FALSE; must occur when pigs are very young
Immunity for Bordatella bronchiseptica is primarily:
Antibody mediated
Bordatella bronchiseptica is one of the organisms involved in _______ in dogs, along with _______ & ______
kennel cough
canine adenovires
parainfluenza
T/F Bordatella bronchiseptica causes epithelial damage in pigs

Bordatella bronchiseptica is spread via _____ in dogs and has a ______ morbidity and ________ mortality
aerosol
high
low

14 months
1 to several weeks
