Ch 8 - Enteric Viruses Flashcards
4 viruses that target the villi
- Coronaviruses
- Rotaviruses
- Astroviruses
- Noroviruses
(CRAN)
What type of virus targets the crypts?
Parvoviruses
How does villous blunting result in diarrhea?
causes a decrease in absorption
How do rotaviruses cause diarrhea?
They increase fluoride excretion
How does inflammation lead to diarrhea?
vasodilation –> leaky vessels –> diarrhea
Where are Rotaviruses (generally) limited to?
the small intestine (jejunum and ileum)
Rotaviruses are (enveloped/nonenveloped), (dsDNA, dsRNA, ssDNA), and (segmented/non-segmented)
non-enveloped, dsRNA, segmented
speices affected by Rotaviruses
calves, goats, pifs, sheep, foals, humans
T or F
Most mamals have their own host-specific rotavirus
True
Rotavirus clinical signs in neonates
diarrhea (“milk-scours”)
rapid weight loss
dehydration
how do you Dx Rotavirus?
PCR/ELISA
Control/Prevention of Rotaviruses?
Management is key!
Killed Vx/Modified Live oral Vx for newborn calves
Coronaviruses are (more/less) severe than rotaviruses. Why?
More. They can involve the colon
3 distinct syndromes of Bovine Coronsviruses
- calf diarrhea
- winter dysentry of adult cattle (diarrhea with blood)
- BRD (Bo. Resp Disease)
4 Swine Coronaviruses:
