Q

What determines the target cell specificity and attachment of Adenoviruses? How is their replication different?

A

fiber proteins

  • early and late phases —> error-prone
  • release viral capsid in cytosol then transferred into nucleus

Q

What are the 6 steps of Adenovirus replication?

A
  1. virus attached to host receptors through the fiber glycoproteins and is endocytosed into vesicles
  2. disruption of endosome releases viral capsid in the cytosol and is released into the nucleus
  3. transcription of early genes (E genes) and replication of DNA in nucleus
  4. transcription of late genes (L genes), mostly encoding for structural proteins
  5. assembly of new virions in nucleus
  6. virions release by lysis

Q

What is the pathogenesis of Canine Adenovirus-1, causing infectious hepatitis?

A
  • oro-nasal infection
  • replication in tonsils, Peyer’s patches, and other lymphatic tissues
  • viremia allows for replication in vascular cells in many organs —> hepatocytes, endothelial cells of renal glomeruli, cornea, uvea

Q

How does blue eye result from canine infectious hepatitis? What are the 7 steps?

A

immune complex deposition in the cornea and uvea, cauing persistent inflammation

  1. CAV-1 enters eye via uveal tract and localizes in vascular endothelial cells, causing uveitis
  2. CAV-1 specific antibody response increases in the bloow to reach the eyes via uveal duct
  3. CAV-1 is free in the aqueous soluition and endothelial cells and forms a viral-antibody immune complex
  4. complement fixation on IC and intranuclear inclusion body formation
  5. corneal endothelial cell loss allows aqueous solution to enter the cornea (corneal edema = blue eye)
  6. unveal inflammation may lead to blockage of filtration angle and glaucoma
17
Q

What vaccine is best against canine infectious hepatitis?

A

homologous > heterologous

18
Q

What is egg drop syndrome? What causes it? What is the natural host?

A

infectious disease of laying hens resulting in thin-shelled or shell-less eggs +/- depigmentation

Adenovirus

ducks, geese, chickens

19
Q

In what birds is egg drop syndrome the most severe? How was it first introduced into chickens?

A

broiler breeders and brown egg layer strains

through contaminated vaccine

20
Q

In what 2 ways can egg drop syndrome be transmitted?

A
  1. excretion in feces
  2. vertical transmission (primary)
21
Q

What are 3 clinical signs of egg drop syndrome? How can it be controlled?

A
  1. loss of color in pigmented eggs
  2. thin-shelled/shell-less eggs
  3. egg production drops 40%
  • avoid contact of diseased with other birds
  • disinfect all equipment regularly
  • inactivated vaccines before egg laying begins
22
Q

What is the host range of Fowl Adenovirus Inclusion Body Hepatitis? How is it transmitted?

A
