Bovine Viruses Flashcards
Foot and mouth disease (FMD) belongs to what family of viruses
- picornaviridae - RNA naked
virus that causes vesicular mucosal lesions of ruminants and swine; what species does it not effect
- foot and mouth
- horses
how dose foot and mouth disease cause abortion
- by the fever
fist sign of foot and mouth disease in swine
- lameness
this virus has 7 serotypes; how does this effect diagnosis and vaccination
- foot and mouth
- vaccination - serotype-specific
- diagnosis - test for specific genome and antigens
main route of infection of foot and mouth disease
- inhalation of droplets
can foot and mouth be spread before clinical signs are seen
- yes; 24 hours before
which virus has recovery that correlates with appearance of antibodies, but immunity is short-lived
- foot and mouth
3 viruses that can present like foot and mouth and are therefore notifiable
- vesicular stomatitis
- swine vesicular disease
- vesicular exanthemia of swine
once a diagnosis is confirmed (by state officials) for foot and mouth what is the next steps
- determine area that must be quarantine
- cull infected, suspected and in contact
bovine leukemia (“leukosis”) belongs to what virus family
- retroviridae
which virus has some material been found in human mammary tumors
- bovine leukemia
- but not zoonotic!!
most presentations and diagnosis of bovine leukemia
- asymptomatic
- serology
30% of cows infected with bovine leukemia will develop what
- persistent lymphocytosis with no clinical signs
few animals infected (4-8yr) with bovine leukemia will develop what
- lymphoid tumors
lymphosarcomas of bovine leukemia present with what type of cells in the blood
- non malignant
diagnosis of bovine leukemia
- antibody ELISA
T/F bovine leukemia infects the entire herd
- false - is a 1 cow disease
- horizontal transmission requires close and prolonged direct contact
malignant catarrhal fever virus family
- herpesviridae
- herpesvirus 1
morbidity and mortality of malignant catarrhal fever
- low morbidity
- high mortality
bilateral opthlamia is see in what virus
- malignant catarrhal fever
- few survive
3 epidemiological patterns of malignant catarrhal fever
- cattle infected from subclinical wildebeest (calving time)
- cattle in close contact with sheep (at lambing)
- feedlot cattle in NA - minor epidemics
diagnosis of malignant catarrhal fever
- history and clinical signs
- confirmation by virus isolation in calf thyroid cells
can malignant catarrhal fever move from cow to cow?
- no; seem to be dead end
bovine viral diarrhea (BVD) belongs to what virus family
- flaviviridae
morbidity and mortality rate of BVD
- high morbidity
- high mortality (abortion)
T/F BVD cannot occur in sheep, goats, swine
- false - it can; also in deer and bison
postnatal infection of BVD in non-pregnant cattle clinical signs
- fever and panleukopenia
- drop milk yield
- lesions in mouth (not vesicles)
infection of BVD in cow less than 2 months pregnant
- animal will be aborted
- NCP (noncytoplasmatic)
infection of BVD in cow between 2 and 4 months pregnant
- immune system thinks virus is self
- persistent infection - will be born shedding virus
infection of BVD in cow after 4 months pregnant
- mature enough to know virus is not normal
- may cause deformation (eyes and brain)
- abortion is rare
PI infected calves with BVD appear normal and develop mucosal disease how (3 ways)
- superinfection with homologous BVDV
- mutation of NCP to CP
- vaccination with MLV BVDV strain
T/F: you can test for antibodies in a PI BVD calf
- false
- they do not have antibodies -> they do not seroconvert
