Q

Family: Adenoviridae - General properties

A

Agglutinate RBC. Hemagglutination. Tips of penton fibers bind to surface receptors on RBC. Some viruses are oncogenic in laborator animals. Relatively stable in environment, but are inactivated easily by common disinfectants, Most narrow host ranges.

Q

ICH - Ocular Lesions

A

Corneal edema (blue eye). Occurs in about 20% of natural infections. Less than 1% of dogs after S/C MLV CAV-1 vaccination. Seen in dogs during recovery of chronic cases.

Q

How does corneal edema develop?

A
  1. During viremia, CAV-1 enters the eye via the uveal tract.
  2. CAV-1 localizes in endothelium of choroid and causes mild uveitis.
  3. By 4-6 days post infection, virus enters the aqueous humor from the blood and replicates in corneal endothelial cells.
By day 7, Severe anterior Uveitis and
Corneal Edema (Blue Eye) develop
  1. CAV-1 antibody production increases, and formation of viral-antibody immune complexes.
  2. This result in Complement activation, neutrophil chemotaxis.
  3. Cause extensive damage to corneal endothelium.
  4. Disruption of intact corneal endothelium allows aqueous to enter the cornea.
  5. Accumulation of edematous fluid within corneal stroma results in corneal edema.
  6. From days 8-21, macrophages remove the immune complexes and corneal endothelium regenerates, re-establishing the hydrostatic gradient.
  7. Clearing of corneal edema.

Q

ICH - DIC

A

Results from damage to endothelium and inability of diseased liver to remove activated clotting factors

18
Q

ICH - Clinical signs - peracute cases

A

Severely infected dogs become moribound and die within few hours onset of clinical signs.

19
Q

ICH - Clinical signs - acute cases

A

Fever, vomiting, abdominal pain, hepatomegally, icertus is uncommon. Corneal edema and anterior uveitis occur when clinical recovery begins. Encephalitis is more commonly seen in foxes.

20
Q

ICH - Diagnosis

A

Clinical signs, necropsy and histopathology (“paintbrush” hemorrhageson serosa), virus isolation in urine, antigen detection using FAT, nucleic acid detection using PCR, paired serum tested.

21
Q

ICH - Treatment

A

Treatment is symptomatic and supportive. The goals of therapy are to limit secondary bacterial invasion. support fluid balance, and control hemorrhagic tendencies.

22
Q

ICH - Immunity

A

Maternal antibodies interferes with active immunization until puppies are 9 to 12 weeks of age. CAV-2 attenuated

23
Q

ICH - Immunity - Attenuated CAV-1 live vaccines

A

Have produced transient unilateral or bilateral opacities of the cornea. Vaccine virus can cause mild subclinical interstial nephritis and may be shed in urine. Discontinued in many countries.

24
Q

ICH - Immunity - Attenuated CAV-2 live virus strains

A

Provide cross protection against CAV-1. CAV-2 attenuated vaccines are preferentially used because they have very little tendency to produce corneal opacities of uveitis, and the virus is not shed in urine.

25
Q

Canine Adenovirus-2 (CAV-2)

A

Canine Infectious Tracheobronchitis ITB or Kennel Cough

Incubation period 1-3 days

26
Q

CAV-2 - Transmission

A

Highly contagious, via aerosolized droplets. Stress, unfavorable conditions increases severity of disease.

27
Q

CAV-2 - Clinical signs - Uncomplicated ITB

A

The prominent clinical sign is paroxysms of harsh, dry coughing, followed by etching and gagging. Coughing causes a high pitched “honking” sound. Rhinitis, serous nasal discharges, sometimes conjunctivitis.

28
Q

CAV-2 - Clinical signs - Complicated ITB

A

Severe pneumonia or bronchopneumonia and life threatening

29
Q

CAV-2 - Diagnosis

A

Clinical signs, coughing is easily induced by gentle palpation of the larynx or trachea. Nucleic acid detection, serology, virus isolation same as CAV-1.

30
Q

CAV-2 - Treatment

A

Anitussives, wen used in conjunctiong with bronchodilators, are often considered the standard treatment for dogs with ITB. Antitussive drugs serve to interrupt the cough cycle.

31
Q

CAV-2 - Immunity

A

MLV against distemper, parainfluenza and CAV-2 which also provides protection against CAV-1.

32
Q

Equine Adenovirus

A

EAV-1 and EAV-2. Most are asymptomatic or mild respiratory tract disease.

33
Q

EAV-1

A

Associated with severe respiratory disease in severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) foals

34
Q

SCID

A

Mutation in the allele encoding for DNA-dependent protein kinase (DNA-PK) that is needed for lymphocyte V(D)J recombination. As a result, there is severe immunodeficiency.

35
Q

Clinical signs in SCID foals

A

Severe broncholitis and pneumonia. Respiratory distress and related signs. May develop generalized EAV infections, as virus destroys cells of different organs, such as pancreas, GIT, renal and bladder.

36
Q

Avian Adenoviruses - Chickens

A

Inclusion body hepatitis. Egg drop syndrome.

37
Q

Avian Adenoviruses - Ducks

A

Hepatitis (rare)

38
Q

Avian Adenoviruses - Quail

A

Bronchitis

39
Q

Avian Adenoviruses - Turkeys

A

Hemorrhagic enteritis. Egg drop syndrome

40
Q

Avian Adenoviruses - Pheasants

A

Marble spleen disease

41
Q

ICH - Hepatitis

A

At time of infection, antibody titers (>500) show little clinical evidence of disease. Antibody response by day 7 post-infection clears virus from blood and liver and restricts hepatic damage. Persistently low antibody titer (16, but
