Bovine Respiratory Disease Flashcards
what does bovine herpesvirus 1 do?
replicates in and destroys airway epithelial cells
latency
what is bovine herpesvirus 1 termed?
bovine infectious rhinotracheitis (IBR)
how do viral particles spread cell to cell?
directly: avoid neutralizing antibodies in extracellular fluid
what are the immunosuppressive effects of bovine herpesvirus 1?
induction of apoptosis in CD4+ T cells
MHC I and MHC II molecule expression down regulated
lysis of ciliated epithelial cells: decreased mucociliary clearance
what are two paramyxoviruses that infect the bovine respiratory tract?
bovine respiratory syncytial virus (BRSV)
parainfluenza-3 (PI-3)
what is the hallmark of infectious bovine rhinotracheitis?
erosions and ulcers in upper respiratory tract
what is the etiologic agent of contagious bovine pleuropneumonia (CBPP)?
Mycoplasma mycoides var. mycoides small-colony (SC) type
where is contagious bovine pleuropneumonia prominent?
Africa
Aisa
sometimes Europe
eradicated from US in 19th century
what is Mannheimia haemolytica?
gram negative bacterium associated with acute fulminating pleuropneumonia in cattle
what are the virulence factors of Mannheimia haemolytica?
protein adherence to tracheal epithelial cells
endotoxin
secreted enzymes
specific leukotoxin produced during log phase growth
how does the leukotoxin that Mannheimia haemolytica secretes lyse cells (high contentrations)?
forms transmembrane pores that allow ion influx and ultimately cell rupture
what organism is most commonly associated with bovine respiratory disease complex (shipping fever pneumonia)?
Mannheimia haemolytica
what is Mannheimia haemolytica pneumonia characterized by?
cranioventral fibrinopurulent pleuropneumonia
what happens in bovine respiratory disease complex (BRDC/shipping fever) after bacteria enter the deeper lung tissues?
cranioventral pneumonia characterized by fibrin exudation, neutrophil and macrophage influx, capillary thrombosis, and coagulation necrosis
what does enzootic calf pneumonia cause?
young calves
mild cranioventral pneumonia to extensive fibrinopurulent pneumonia
can result in long-lasting chronic infections and slow growth
what bacterial pathogens are associated with enzootic calf pneumonia?
Mannheimia haemolytica
Pasteurella multocida
Corynebacterium pyogenes
