Bovine Viral Diseases Part 1 Flashcards
What bovine diseases does coronaviridae cause?
Calf diarrhea
Winter dysentery
Respiratory disease
Winter dysentery
Acute disease of adult cattle (winter)
Explosive bloody diarrhea with ↓ milk production, depression, anorexia and resp. signs
Winter dysentery transmission
Feco-oral resp
Lesions with winter dysentery
Profuse loss of water and bleeding from necrosis of the crypt cells in LI
Respiratory disease
Mild resp. disease in 2-6 m old calves (rhinitis)
Shed from nose and in feces
Pathogenesis of coronavirdae in cattle
Multiply in mature entrocytes, crypt cells and resp. tract (trachea, bronchi, bronchioles and alveoli)
Coronavirus shedding persists up to __________ after infection
10 days
Consequences of bovine coronavirus
Malabsorption, rapid loss of water and electrolytes
Hypoglycemia, acidosis and hypovolemia → circulatory failure and death
Secondary infection to bovine coronavirus
Secondary bacterial infection → shipping fever pneumonia caused by Mannheimia haemolytica biotype A (10-14 dys after shipping)
Differentials of bovine coronavirus
Acute diarrhea: salmonellosis, coccidiosis, BVD (but not dyssentery in those diseases and limited to LI)
Dx of bovine coronavirus
Cell culture isolation (HRT-18 cells)
ELISA (feces and nasal swabs)
RT-PCR
IHC for post-mortem
Immunity against calf diarrhea
Dams vx during calves suckling period (passive immunity via colostrum)
Intranasal live modified
T/F: Resp. disease and winter dysentery currently have no vx
TRUE
attenuated bovine enteric coronavirus vx may reduce risk of infection in WD
Flaviviridae causes ________________-
Bovine viral diarrhea
genus: pestivirus
BVD virus genotypes
2 genotypes (types I and II) → 2 clinically diff diseases: BVD and mucosal disease
BVD
Acute resp. disease of cattle usually 6- 24 mon of age
Immune suppression: hallmark
Mucosal disease
Fatal, sporadic but sudden
Occurs in persistently infected cattle
BVD transmission
Vertical transmission to the fetus → abortion, teratogenesis, persistent infection
BVD pathogenesis (postnatal infections)
Resp. route → replication nasal mucosa and tonsils → thrombocytopenia OR ulcerative lesions in intestine
Postnatal infection in non-preggo young cattle with BVD
Mild: biphasic fever and leukopenia within 5-7 days with diarrhea, nasal or ocular discharge, ulceration in mouth/ lips
Severe: thrombocytopenia → hemorrhage and death
BVD infection in preggo cows
0-50: abortion
50-12: persistently infected calves, tolerant and clinically normal
100-180: severe, malformations, eye, jaw, CNS
When does mucosal disease occur
When 2 biotypes of the virus (cytopathic and non-) are present (super infected with CP strain)
Profuse watery diarrhea and discharge, intestinal necrosis, serve erosive or ulcerative stomatitis then death
Congenital malformations for in utero fetal infections with MD
In utero fetal infections between 4-6 m in development the eye and CNS → mummification, premies, stillbirth and birth of weak calves, cerebellar hypoplasia, caviation
Acute mucosal disease
Striking necrosis of the GI and lymphoid organs, erosions and ulcers in the epithelium or oral and nasal cavities, esophagus
Chronic mucosal disease
GI lesions not present
Skin ulcers, hyperkeratosis in neck, shoulders and extremities
What does herpesviridae (Bovine herpes 1) cause in bovine?
Infectious Bovine Rhinotracheitis and Infectious Pustular Vulvovaginitis
Initial CS of Bovine Herpes 1
Ulcerated mucosa covered by cream-colored diphtheritic membrane (formed by coagulative necrosis)
Fever, nasal discharge (purulent), hyperemic nasal mucosa with hemorr.
CS of Bovine rhinotracheitis
Unilateral/bilateral conjunctivitis, profuse lacrimation, gastroeneteritis, mastitis
Abortion @ 4-7 mon gestation
