Q

Characteristics of Porcine Dermatitis and Nephropathy Syndrome (PDNS)

A

Sporadic

Reported in older piglets

17
Q

Transmission of Chicken Infectious Anemia

A

Virus shed in feces and feather dander

Horizontal transmission through inhalation or oral exposure

Vertical transmission through egg

Environmentally stable

18
Q

Morphology of Chicken Infectious Anemia Virus

A

12 Trumpet like structures that are less obvious in other circoviruses

19
Q

Porcine Circovirus 2 primarly targets

A

Cardiomyocytes

Hepatocytes

Macrophages - fetal life

Monocytes - post natal life

20
Q

Apoptin Protein

A

Protein of Chicken Anemia Virus that induces apoptosis and cause destruction of infected lymphocytes

21
Q

Etiology of Porcine Dermatitis and Nephropathy Syndrome (PDNS)

A

Porcine Circovirus 2

22
Q

Circovirus replication occurs in

A

Actively dividing cell

23
Q

Characteristics of Family Circoviridae

A

Small viruses

Circular single stranded DNA genomes

Virions are small, nonenveloped, spherical

24
Q

Effect of transplacental infection on the fetus

A

Infection during the first and second trimesters - fetal death and resorption or aborted fetuses with severe cardiace congestion

Infection during the last trimester has minimal effect on fetus

25
Q

Principal sites of Chicken Infectious Anemia Virus replication are

A

Hemocytoblasts in the bone marrow, precursor T cells in the cortex of the Thymus and dividing CD4 and CD8 cells in the spleen

26
Q

Goal for vaccinating against chicken infectious anemia

A

Protect the progeny from vaccinated breeders from early infections by means of maternally derived antibodies

27
Q

Post weaning multisystemic wasting syndrome is characterized by

A

Individual to coalescing foci of granulomatous inflammation in lymphoid tissues, lungs, liver, kidney, heart and intestines sometime with prominent botryoid intracytoplasmic inclusion bodies

28
Q

Host of Post Weaning Multisystemic Wasting Syndrome (PMWS)

A

Pigs

_____________________

Most common at 4-6 wees or age or 2-3 weeks post weaning

29
Q

Describe the genome of Genus Circovirus

A

Circular, single-stranded ambisense DNA

30
Q

Consistent feature in pigs that develop clinical post weaning multisystemic wasting syndrome

A

Lymphoid depletion and lymphopenia
