describe the two forms of TGE

A

epidemic: virus first introduced into susceptible herd, observed usually in winter. rapid spread, high morbidity and mortality in piglets.
endemic: virus persists in partially immune herd, or due to concurent porcine respiratory coronavirus (PRCV) infection (deletion mutant of TGE virus). less severe form, lower mort and morb

Q

describe the transmission and pathogenesis of porcine hemagglutinating encephalomyelitis

A

aerosol route –> replication in nasal mucosa –> replication in small intestine, lungs, tonsils –> spread to CNS via peripheral NS –> replicate in the brainstem, cerebrum, cerebellum.

-In piglets <4 wks, the virus will also replicate in the distal vagi ganglion, leading to vomiting, as well as the vagal nerves in the gut, causing malnutrition and characteristic lesions in the intramural plexi.

basically same as with coronavirus infection in calves… diarrhea

30

32
Q

FIP is a highly fatal ______ mediated disease of cats and wild felids.

A

immune

33
Q

t/f - FIP is poorly understood and prevention is difficult.

A

True

34
Q

describe FIP transmission

A

infected cat or chronic carrier sheds FCoV in feces –> mainly fecal oral transmission to uninfected cat.

also inhalation and transplacental are possible.

35
Q

name the possible outcomes and frequency of FCoV infections

A
  • Resistant (5-10%)
  • Transient infection - diarrhea(70%)
  • Persistent carrier (5-10%)
  • Feline infectious peritonitis (1-3%)
36
Q

FIP FCoV has an affinity for what cell?

A

macrophages

37
Q

what kind of immune response allows the prevention of FIP?

A

a strong cell-mediated response

38
Q

what kind of immune response will result in the Effusive (wet) form of FIP? What are the signs in the dz?

A

a weak CMI and strong humoral (Ab) response.

peritonitis, pleuritis, vasculitis, intravascular coagulation, ascites, glomerulonephritis

39
Q

what kind of immune response allows for the non-effusive(dry) form of FIP? what are the signs of the dz?

A

an intermediate response.

small granulomas, ocular lesions, CNS involvement.

40
Q

Describe the role of mutations in FIP/FCoV

A

Usually, when FCoV infects a healthy cat, it’s an avirulent/low virulence strain of the virus. Usually leads to mild diarrhea or something, as the virus affects the villi.

However, FCoV will often mutate in the body, usually just stays low virulence. Sometimes though, the mutation leads to a really virulent strain, with affinity for the macrophages; which would be FIP virus. Severe dz. infect and replicate in macrophage

41
Q

describe how FIP enters the macrophage and alters host immune response

A

virus infects macrophage through the CD13 receptor on the macrophage. –> macrophage becomes activated, carries virus throughout body. –> macrophage releases inflammatory mediators/cytokines –> macrophages skew the immune response from a Th1(cell mediated) response to a Th2(humoral) response, as well as causing lymphocyte apoptosis (and subsequently lymphopenia=reduced lymphocytes) due to TNF release

42
Q

what is the role of the FIPV spike-specific antibody?

A

enhances uptake and replication of FIPV in macrophages.

leads to Ag-Ab complex formation –> complement activation –> vasculitis/edema… effusive (wet) FIP

43
Q

name some lesions/signs of effusive(wet) FIP

A
  • distended abdomen
  • diffuse fibrinous peritonitis
  • ascites
  • pygranulomatous foci on the serosal surface of intestines
  • pyogranulomas in liver
  • serofibrinous pleuritis
  • abdominal viscera show pyogranulomatous foci
  • pyogranulomas on omentum
  • thoracic effusion
44
Q

In non-effusive(dry) FIP, _______ macrophages are infected than in wet FIP.

A

fewer

45
Q

what are some signs/lesions of dry FIP?

A
  • granulomatous inflammation/enlarged mesenteric lnn.
  • pyogranulomatous lesions on kidney
  • granulomatous meningoencephalitis
  • granulomatous uveitis
  • keratic precipitates on the inner cornea
46
Q

Describe the Rivalta Test.

A

Method of diagnosing FIP.

  • in a test tube, add 1 drop 98% acetic acid to 5 ml water. Add one drop of effusion(ascites tap) to the tube.
  • If drop disappears, and solution is clear, negative for FIP
  • If drop retains shape, drops down, or attaches to surface of tube, positive for FIP
47
Q

what is the main flaw of ELISA, IFA, and virus-neutralization tests for FCoV?

A

they detect antibodies, but CANNOT differentiate b/w the various strains.

48
Q

t/f - there is an intranasal vaccine available for FIP

A

true, but its use is not recommended. controversial

A

highly; chickens

51
Q

what is S protein of IBV?

A

antigenically significant, major inducer of protective immunity.

52
Q

what are IBV protectotypes?

A

by mutation and recombination, there is genetic variation in the S protein gene of IBV. this variation leads to antigenic variation, and some of these serotypes are known are protectotypes.

A
  • live vaccines: used in meat type (broiler) chickens, and for the initial vaccination and priming of breeders and layers… the Massachusetts (M41) strain, H120, and other vaccines of the massachussetts serotype.
  • inactivated: used in layers and breeders
