Q

why do we see cases of malignant catarrhal disease sporadically ? what affects the number of animals with disease?

A

MCF does not cause disease in the natural host. Bison are more susceptible to OvHV-2 than cattle. Susceptible animals are dead-end hosts.

No

31
Q

how do you control MCF?

A

management practices are KEY

32
Q

Why care about knowing macacine herpesvirus-1?

A

it is zoonotic and fatal (causes encephalitis in people)

33
Q

3 main determinants of host range (influenza virus)

A

receptor, HA protein, and fusion protein

34
Q

2 main envelope proteins of influenza virus

A

HA, NA

35
Q

HA protein function

A

contains fusion protein, critical for entry and allowing release of nucleic acid to replicate

36
Q

NA protein function

A

binds and cleaves the sialic acid. critical for exit.

37
Q

antigenic drift

A

minor antigenic change due to point mutations in viral RNA. The usual source of change (like seasonal influenza)

38
Q

antigenic shift

A

MAJOR antigenic change due to re-assortment of viral genes. usual source of pandemics. - New viral “subtypes”

39
Q

how are influenza viruses generally subtyped?

A

H# and N#

40
Q

Explain how influenza virus is maintained in nature and the role of waterfowl.

A

Influenza A - fundamentally a virus of waterfowl. Harbor all H and N types (Except new bat types.) They distribute influenza A viruses worldwide by migration.

41
Q

? serve as “mixing vessels” for avian, human and swine flu strains.

A

swine

42
Q

swine are an important source of reassortment events that leads to antigenic Drift/shift & seasonal change/pandemics

A

shift, pandemics

43
Q

host and ciral factors that affect pathogenicity of flu virus

A

**Host determinants: **
* Availability of receptors on cells
* Host proteases that cleave HA fusion protein (trypsin-like or fur in-like proteases)
* Internal biochemistry of the cells
* Immunity against the specific viral HA and NA epitopes (i.e. subtype of virus)
* Immunity of a population
Viral factors:
* Binding to host cells (HA)
* Release of virions from cells (NA)
* Virus genetics (driven by selective pressure)

44
Q

canine and equine influenza: diagnosis

A

RT-PCR detects viral RNA. Antigen detection ELISA. Serology.

45
Q

canine and equine influenza: control

A

vaccination, isolation/quarantine

47
Q

molecular difference of HPAI vs LPAI

A

HPAI oncy seen with H5 and H7 subtypes

48
Q

LPAI vs HPAI disease

A

LPAI: resp disease most common

49
Q

List the two distinguishing clinical features associated with avian influenza virus infection in

A

F

57
Q

Indicate where the two different currently circulating subtypes of canine influenza originated
from and generally what genetic changes occurred to allow them to infect dogs.

Q

major organ systems targeted by the Morbillivirus genus.

resp, enteric, CNS

60

List several animals susceptible to Canine Distemper Virus (CDV) and indicate which species serves as the principal reservoir for the virus

A

dogs, dingo, fox, raccoons, bears, ferrets, lions….

dogs are the main reservoir

61
Q

pathogenesis of CDV

A
  1. entry via aerosols into URT
  2. replication in phagocytic cells of tonsils and trachea
  3. replication in DCs, monocytes, lymphocytes of regional LNs

  5. Secondary viremia (slinically significant)
62
Q

Acute CDV disease signs

A

bi-phasic fever, rhinitis/nasal D/C, conjunctivities, bronchitis, catarrhal pneumonia, secondary infections, gastroenteritis, anorexia, depression

63
Q

CDV CNS disease usually follows ? signs by ? weeks

A

acute, 1-3

64
Q

CDV CNS disease usually in animals with….

A

overwhelming infections and/or inadequate immune responses

65
Q

CDV acute CNS disease signs

A

acute encephalitis +/- ataxia, paresis, seizures, tremors, myoclonus

66
Q

presenting signs for chronic persistent distemper

A

hyperkaratosis or “hard pad”, encephalitis (immune mediated), old dog encephalitis

67
Q

sign of CDV young puppy infection

A
