Mild Marek’s disease. Most associated with neural MD. Disease is preventable with HVT (Turkey’s herpesvirus vaccine

100
Q

vMDV

A

Virulent Marek’s disease. Associated with high incidence of neural and visceral lymphomas. Disease is preventable with HVT (Turkey herpesvirus vaccine)

101
Q

vvMDV

A

Very Virulent Marek’s disease. Associated with high incidence of neural and visceral lymphomas. Viruses are oncogenic in HVT vaccinated chickens. Disease preventable with bivalent vaccines.

102
Q

vv+MDV

A

103
Q

A

Various overlapping virus-cell interactions have been observed.

104
Q

Marek’s disease - Fully productive infection

A

Production of enveloped virions and cell death (lysis). Occurs only in feather follicle epithelium. Infected T cells appear to be the “trojan horse” by which MDV enters the feather-follicle epithelium.

105
Q

Marek’s disease - Productive-restrictive infection

A

Production of naked virions (not infectious) and viral antigens. Cell death due to lysis. Occurs in B-cells and activated T-cell (primarily CD4+ cells). Profound immunosuppression.

106
Q

107
Q

Marek’s Disease Virus is slowly cytopathic and remain associated with cells.

Q

Subfamily: Gammaherpesvirinae

A

Malignant Catarrhal Fever (MCF). Includes

  1. Alcephaline herpesvirus-1 (AHV-1)
  2. Ovine herpesvirus-2 (OvHV-2)
124
Q

Subfamily: Gammaherpesvirinae - Properties

A

Lymphotrophic (replicate in B or T cells). Slowly cytopathic for epithelial and fibroblastic cells, causing death without production.

125
Q

MCF- Synonyms

A

Bovine Malignant Catarrh, Malignant Head Catarrh

126
Q

MCF - Host

A

Highly fatal disease of cattle and some wild ruminants (deer, bison, antelope)

127
Q

MCF - Alcephaline herpesvirus-1

A

Wildebeest associated. Transmits to cattle. Occurs in most African countries. DOES NOT CAUSE DISEASE TO WILDEBEEST. Epizootic and seasonal (based on wildebeest calving season)

(def. epizootic - denoting a disease that is temporarily prevalent and widespread in an animal population.)

128
Q

MCF - Ovine herpesvirus-2

A

OvHV-2 is transmitted from sheep to cattle. Occurs year round.

129
Q

REMEMBER!

A

In Africa, MCF is predominantly found where cattle are in close contact with blue or black wildebeest, while outside Africa, it is usually associated with contact between sheep and susceptible species.

130
Q

MCF - AHV-1 - Transmission

A

Wildebeest to cattle. Present in nasal and ocular secretion of young wildebeest in a cell free state. Ingestion of pasture contaminated with nasal or ocular secretions from young wildebeest. Direct or close contact, inhalation or aerosol with young wildebeest. Direct or close contact with wildebeest during calving (virus in cell-free state in young). Virus in cell-associated form in adult wildebeest, so rarely transmitted from adults.

131
Q

MCF - OvHV-2 - Transmission

A

Not known. Presumably by inhalation or ingestion.

132
Q

MCF - Cattle

A

Cattle are dead end hosts. Cattle have cell-associated virus, but not cell-free virus, in secretions. this may explain the noncontagious nature of MCF when contact occurs with MCF affected cattle.

133
Q

MCF - Pathogenesis

A

Infection followed by cell-associated viremia. Lymphoid proliferation and infiltration. Necrotizing vasculitis. CD8+ T cells are predominant cells associated with vascular lesions.

134
Q

MCF - Clinical signs - Peracute

A

Sudden death. “Head and eye” form may not appear. High fever, acute gastroenteritis.

135
Q

MCF - Clinical signs - Head and eye form - Early stages

A

Reddened eyelids, bilateral corneal opacity, crusty muzzle, nares, nasal discharge, salivation.

136
Q

MCF - Clinical signs - Head and eye form - Later stages

A

Erosions on the tongue and hard palate. Necrosis and erosion of the buccal papillae.

137
Q

MCF - Other Clinical signs

A

Joints, superficial lymph nodes swell, horn, hoof, coverings slough, nervous signs, incoordination, head pressing, nystagmus, hyperesthesia (extreme sensitivity to touch), enlarged prescapular lymph node, sloughing of hoof coverings.

138
Q

MCF- Alimentary/Intesinal form

A

Death occurs from severe diarrhea. Diarrhea is rarely observed in wildebeest derived MCF, but is more commonly in sheep associated MCF.

139
Q

MCF - Mild form

A

inoculated animals, recovery expected

140
Q

MCF - Necropsy findings

A

Zebra striping: bovine colon. Severe longitudinal linear congestion of the mucosa.
