Canine viral diseases 1 - Nicole Flashcards
how does herpesvirus infect adult dogs?
infection through venereal or respiratory epithelial cells
how does herpesvirus infect neonate dogs?
ingestion or inhalation (birth canal, contact, fomites)
how does herpesvirus infect fetal dogs?
through the placenta
once a dog has been infected with herpesvirus, what happens? (adult, neonate, fetus)
adult & neonate >2 weeks old - localized infection & replication, then latency
Fetus & neonate <1 week old - leukocyte-associated viremia and generalized infection
Once the adult & neonate > 2 weeks old have been infected with herpesvirus, and localized infection & replication have happened, what is the outcome?
virus will not be cleared from body and will persist in respiratory and genital tracts & replicate in endothelial cells and have latency
after a neonate <1 week old or fetus are infected with herpesvirus, and leukocyte-associated viremia + generalized infection has taken place, what then?
diffuse necrotizing vasculitis, mutlifocal hemorrhagic necrosis of many organs, including CNS
THEN
- animal recovers OR
- neonatal illness/death // fetal abortion/ stillbirth / infertility
herpesvirus clinical presentation adults
often subclinical and latency follows. It may also be associated with mild rhinitis / vesicular vaginitis /posthitis
where are the sites of herpesvirus latency
the trigeminal and lumbosacral ganglia are the sites of latency
herpesvirus presentation in pregnant animals
early fetal loss, late-term abortion, stillbirth, or the birth of compromised neonates
what gross lesion is pathognomonic of canine herpesvirus-1 infection?
presence of petechiae in the renal cortex of the newborn
herpesvirus - radiating hemorrhages from the renal pelvis are present in the
kidneys & may also have tubular necrosis
herpesvirus-infected epithelial cells contain
round eosinophilic, intranuclear inclusion bodies surrounded by a clear halo and marginated chromatin
herpesvirus effects on liver
multifocal necrosis and hemorrhages
herpesvirus - viral antigen and similar lesions observable in which organs
vascular endothelium, liver, adrenal glands, lungs, spleen, kidneys, and lymph nodes
lung lesions from herpesvirus
small coalescing pale foci - necrotizing interstitial pneumonitis
pulmonary parenchyma appearance herpesvirus
focally effaced by fibrin exudate and necrotic cell debris
herpesvirus-infected epithelial cells contain
round, eosinophilic, intranuclear inclusion bodies surrounded by a clear halo and marginated chromatin
ocular form of herpesvirus
diffuse corneal oedema and mature cataracts
can you isolate herpesvirus in the CNS?
yes in cerebellum and cerebrum
diagnosis herpesvirus
-lesions in affected neonates are pathognomonic
- virus can be isolated from fresh lung, liver, kidney, and spleen by cell culture techniques
-histological demonstration of intra-nuclear inclusion bodies
-virus neutralization assay is available at OVC
control of herpesvirus
no vaccine is available
- colostrum (maternal antibody) protects the pup from disease
- removing puppies from affected mother by c-section and rearing in isolation has prevented deaths under experimental conditions - but if virus has crossed the placenta already might not work
infectious canine hepatitis family & causative agent
adenoviridae & canine adenovirus 1 (CAV-1)
CAV-2 infection is part of the complex that causes
infectious canine tracheobronchitis (kennel cough)
CAV-1 virus description
-naked double stranded DNA virus
-replicates in nucleus & forms intranuclear inclusions
Adenoviridae pentons make up
the apices and possess projecting fibers that mediate the attachment of the virus to cellular receptors
can adenoviruses infect many different species?
yes
is CAV-1 stable in the environment?
yes but is susceptible to iodine, phenol, and sodium hydroxide and heating for 5 minutes between 50-60°C
CAV-1 causes clinical disease in
dogs, foxes, coyotes, and other canids and bears
is subclinical disease common for CAV-1
yes, widespread serological response in wild canids
most common age for Infectious canine hepatitis
within a year of age - however, unvaccinated dogs may get the clinical disease at any time
transmission of infectious canine hepatitis
contact with fomites
-oronasal exposure
-ectoparasites are shown to harbour the virus and may be involved
-aerosol transmission unlikely
does canine infectious hepatitis have an acute or chronic phase?
both
acute canine infectious hepatitis - virus excretion
virus excretion in saliva, feces, respiratory mucus-during the acute phase (5-10 days)
which type of hypersensitivity does canine infectious hepatitis cause?
local type 3 hypersensitivity - immune complex formation
canine infectious hepatitis - chronic - how long do animals excrete the virus
virus excretion in urine for 6-9 months, start 10-14 days of infection
mechanisms of kidney damage during canine adenovirus 1 * WILL PROBABLY BE A QUESTION*
1 - cytopathic effect due to viral replication
2 - antibody production/immune complex formation
canine adenovirus 1 - cytopathic effect due to viral replication explained
virus can replicate in cells which causes damage to the cells and affects hepatocytes, renal tubule cells, and vascular endothelial cells
