Diseases Flashcards
PRRS is also called?
blue ear disease
A viral disease characterized by reproductive impairment or failure in
breeding animals, and respiratory disease in
pigs of any age.
Porcine Reproductive and Respiratoy Syndrome (PRRS)
PRRS causative agent
arterivirus
PRRS incubation period
3-37 days
Porcine parvovirus causative agent
Porcine parvovirus
Parvo incubation period
20-40 days
A bat-borne, zoonotic virus that causes Nipah virus infection in humans and other animals, a disease with a very high mortality rate
Nipah Virus
Causative agent for Nipah virus
Nipah virus (NiV)
Incubation period for Nipah virus
7-14 days
Symptoms of Nipah virus in pigs?
Barking Pig Syndrome
Porcine Respiratory Encephalitis
Porcine Respiratory and Neurologic Syndrome
It is a severe, highly contagious vesicular viral disease of livestock that has a significant economic impact. It usually produces severe
disease in pigs
Foot and Mouth Disease, Hoof and Mouth Disease, Aphthous Fever, Aftosa
Causative agent for FMD
Foot-and-Mouth
disease (FMD) virus, an aphthovirus
7 distinct serotypes of FMD
A, O, C,
S.A.T.1, S.A.T.2, S.A.T.3, Asia 1
FMD incubation period
2-14 days
A chronic,
typically clinically mild, infectious
pneumonia of pigs. The disease is
characterized by a persistent dry
cough, impaired growth, occasional
flares of overt respiratory distress, and a high incidence of lung lesions in
slaughtered pigs
Enzootic Pneumonia
Causative agents for Enzootic Pneumonia
Mycoplasma hypneumoniae
Enzootic Pneumonia incubation period
2-8 weeks
Enzootic Pneumonia treatment
tetracyclines
and macrolides
A highly contagious and
economically significant viral disease of pigs. The severity of
the illness varies with the strain of the virus, the age of the pig,
and the immune status of the herd.
Classical Swine Fever (CSF) or Hog Cholera
CSF incubation period
2-14 days OIE
Acute: 7-10 days
Severe: 2-6 days
In Classcal Swine Fever (CSF) death occurs within __ days after infection
10 days
This organism causes severe pleuropneumonia which is
a highly contagious disease of swine often
characterized by sudden onset, short clinical course,
high morbidity, and high mortality
Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae
Causative agent of pleuropneumonia
Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae
Other names for pleuropneumonia
Swine Lung Pasteurellosis, Swine Pleuropneumonia, Porcine pleuropneumonia
Pleuropneumonia incubation period
12hr-3days
Age affected by APP
6-20 week old piglets
The thoracic cavity often contains blood-tinged fluid. The classic lesion is
hemorrhage and necrosis in the dorsal portion of one or both diaphragmatic lobes.
Lesions in the lungs are dark red to black, firm, and develop as areas of infarction.
Bloody froth often fills larger airways and there may be interlobular edema.
Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae (APP)
The virus can cause damage at the cellular level in the
developing pig fetuses within the uterus, leading to the clinical signs
mentioned in previous responses
Porcine Parvovirus
Sows and gilts infected with this virus may
exhibit a higher rate of returning to estrus (heat) shortly after giving
birth, indicating a delayed return to fertility.
Porcine Parvovirus
As the disease progresses, vesicles
rupture, causing erosions and painful
ulcers in the mouth, tongue, palate, and
dental pad.
Foot and Mouth Disease
The disease is
characterized by a persistent dry
cough, impaired growth, occasional
flares of overt respiratory distress, and a high incidence of lung lesions in
slaughtered pigs.
Enzootic Pneumonia
Medicine for enzootic pneumonia
long-acting OTC, tiamulin, lincomycin, valnemulin,
tilmicosin, or penicillin/streptomycin
Causativr agent for swine erysipelas
Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae
Erysipelas is also called?
Diamond Skin Disease
T or F: Erysipelas is a zoonotic disease
True
Erysipelas incubation period
1-4 days
Erysipelas susceptible age
all pigs
over the age of 12 weeks
The erysipelas organism is very sensitive to
Penicillin
