CircoViradae Flashcards
Shape of circoviridae
Icosahedral
Diameter of circoviridae
17-25nm
Genome of circoviridae
Single strand
circular DNA
nucleic acid also infective (difficult to inactivate)
how many genes does circoviridae have
3-4
where does circoviridae replicate
in dividing cells (using polymerase enzyme)
does circoviridae have good antigens
yes
how resistant is circoviridae
VERY, outside can be infectious for months
PCV1
non pathogenic
PCV2
Responsible for PCVD (or in background)
heat deactivation of circoviridae
80° for 1h
cell type circoviridae is found in
immune cells
PCV2 & PCV3
same disease different genome
PCV4
similar to mink circovirus
pathogenesis of Porcine circovirus
oronasal route (or other)
–> Rep in Immune c –> Viraemia
–> Imunosupression OR PMWS
predisposing factors of PCVD
environment
diseases connected to PCV
- subclinical inf. (immune sup.)
- PCV2 systemic D. (new PMWS)
- PCV2 resp D
- PCV2 enteric D
- PCV2 repro D (most imp)
- PDNS (porcine dendritic néphropathy syndrome)
PMWS age
1,5 - 4 months
PMWS symptoms
- diarrhea, phtisis
progressive weight loss
jaundice
rough hair
PMWS patho
swollen lymph nodes (inguinal & mesenteric)
haemorrages
pneumonia
(myocardial replication)
PDNS age
from 1,5 months (30-100kg)
PDNS symptoms
red spots on skin
progressive weight loss
haemorrages, oedema
PDNS patho
Red, enlarged LN
Glomerulonephritis
Haemo in renal cortex
PRDC age
4-7 months
PRDC symptom
fever
lethargy
resp
PRDC patho
interstitial bronchopneumonia
peribronchial fibrosis
Repro disorders age
pregnant
Repro disorders symptoms
SMEDI
Repro disorders pathology
fetal myocarditis (also detected in liver c & macropages)
can the activated immune system help the development of the disease (PCV2)
yes
how to control PCV2 disease
vaccine protection
animals susceptible of PCV2
domestic pigs and reservoir species
PDNS pathogenesis
Type 3 hypersensitivity
what happens in sows infected with PCV2 before day 70
sever lesions : abortus, mummification & embryonic death
what happens in sows infected with PCV2 after day 70
immune response of fetus but repro pb remains
Where is PRDC more frequent than PMWS
North America
PRDC diagnosis
- Ab resistancy
- Histological lesions of lungs
- PCV2 detected in lungs
how to detect PCVD
- immunohistochemistry
- IF
- PCR
ELISA: for IgM in recent infections
Types of vaccines used for PCVD
Inactivated
Recombinant
what is the sow vaccine
protects from repro pb
enough protection for piglets in first few weeks
