1
Q

Where is most respiratory pathology going to be auscultated?

27
Q

What is a common way to dx BHV1?

A

Nasal swabs for viral isolation

28
Q

What two respiratory diseases lead to mucosal sloughing?

A

BHV1 and Bovine Viral Diarrhea Virus

29
Q

What are some CS of BHV1?

A

Fever, rhinitis, conjunctivitis, labored breathing, hyperemia of muzzle, pustules and diphtheretic plaques
Primary lung lesions NOT seen

30
Q

Parainfluenza-3 most commonly affects what type of cells and in what location?

A

Epithelial cells of upper respiratory tract

Damage to mucociliary transport leading to mild bronchitis

31
Q

What is a characteristic sound produced in PI-3?

A

Tracheal rales

32
Q

What will be found on PM exam from a calf with PI-3?

A

Mild interstitial pneumonia

Intracytoplasmic inclusion in mucosa

33
Q

When is bovine coronavirus most commonly seen?

A

Post stressful event

Can commonly contribute to development of calf scours

34
Q

In patients with bovine respiratory syncytial virus, the lungs cannot fully expand with air, what is a result of this?

A

Pulmonary emphysema and SQ emphysema

35
Q

What group of cattle does BRSV most commonly occur in?

A

YOUNG CATTLE- 3-12 months old (unvaccinated)

36
Q

What is a potential reproductive effect associated with BRSV and what causes it?

A

Abortions caused by pyrexia

37
Q

What is a common diagnostic test done for BRSV?

A

IHC of lung tissue

38
Q

What is the most common subtype of BVD seen in the US?

A

1b

39
Q

Who is the most important reservoir for BVD?

A

PI calves

These calves are infected in-utero, born infected, and immunotolerant to BVD that causes infection in other calves/cows

40
Q

What is the gold standard dx test for BVD and what is our source of collection?

A

Virus isolation through nasal swabs

41
Q

What is the most common pathogen associated with shipping fever?

A

mannheimia haemolytica

42
Q

When is a soft cough seen with mannheimia haemolytica infection?

A

6-10 days post stressful event

43
Q

Why is there high mortality seen w/ mannheimia haemolytica?

A

Bronchial obstruction w/ fibrinous exudates

44
Q

What does mannheimia haemolytica cause?

A

Severe fibrinous pleuropneumonia

45
Q

What pathology is seen with the lung lobes on necropsy of a patient with mannheimia haemolytica?

A

Cranioventral lung lobe pathology

Dark reddish-black to grayish-brown and firm with marked distention of interlobular septae by gelatinous yellow fluid

46
Q

What is the second most common pathogen associated with shipping fever?

A

Pasteurella mulocida

47
Q

What does pasteurella multocida cause?

A

Fibrinopurulent bronchopneumonia

“Pus former”-multiple coalescing abscesses are common

48
Q

This bacteria causes excess fibrin on pleural surface of lungs within 2 weeks of arrival in feedlot leading to bronchopneumonia

A

Histophilus somni

49
Q
