Q

what is the most common chromosomal sex abnormality in cattle? How does it happen?

A

Freemartin
when there are two or more sets of cells with different chromosomes (ie a male and a female) where a placental vascular anastomoses between the twin fetuses allow the mixing of hematopoietic cells in early gestation, this impedes the development of the female ovaries

Q

what are two chromosomal sex abnormalities seen in human medicine? Briefly explain them both.

A

Turner’s syndrome - when there is only an X chromosome (XO)

Q

what are the two portals of entry for organisms to cause inflammation of the uterus? When do they typically occur?

A

Via the vulva (ascending infection) - typically occurs around the time of estrus, breeding or parturition (when the cervix is open).
Or hematogenously typically occur during pregnancy

Q

what uterine condition has only been described in dogs and involves the persistence of trophoblasts in the uterus beyond the normal 12 weeks following parturition? What are some of the gross lesions present?

A

Subinvolution of placental sites

Q

what is cystic endometrial hyperplasia and what species is it seen in?

A

if there is a source of irritation or inflammation in the uterus (like bacteria) the uterus undergoes hyperplasia like what would occur during pregnancy. It is an exaggerated or inappropriate response resulting in the formation of cysts within the hyperplastic glands

Q

what causes hydrometra and mucometra?

A

due to obstruction of normal outflow or from increased secretory activity of the endometrial glands (endometrial hyperplasia) while the cervix is closed

Q

what is the definition of abortion?

A

the expulsion of a fetus prior to the completion pregnancy

20
Q

what is the definition of stillbirth?

A

the delivery of a dead fetus after a full-term gestation, when a normal fetus would be capable of independent existence outside of the uterus

21
Q

describe fetal mummification

A

when a dead fetus is retained in the uterus and becomes dehydrated. Implies the absence of bacteria as it would lead to lysis of the tissues, therefore the cervix had remained closed

22
Q

describe fetal maceration

A

occurs when a dead fetus is retained in the uterus but undergoes softening because of the presence of bacteria that cause lysis of the tissues

23
Q

in what species does the CL persist throughout the gestation and have a pre-determined lifespan?

A

Dogs and cats

24
Q

in what species is the CL necessary throughout gestation, but their lifespan is not pre-determined?

A

Pigs and goats

25
Q

in what species is the CL needed until mid-gestation and then the fetal-placental unit takes over and produces progesterone?

A

Ewes, mares, and cows

26
Q

what are the 3 compartments in which disease in it can cause abortion?

A

the dam, the placenta or fetus

27
Q

what are 5 viruses that can cause abortion in cats?

A
  1. feline herpesvirus
  2. feline immunodeficiency virus
  3. Feline infectious peritonitis
  4. feline leukemia virus
  5. feline panleukopenia virus (feline parvovirus)
28
Q

what virus is associated with abortion and developmental defects such as cerebellar abiotrophy?

A

feline panleukopenia virus (feline parvovirus)

29
Q

what bacteria are most commonly associated with abortions in cats? How does it enter?

A

E. coli, staphylococcus, and streptococcus
enters during breeding

30
Q

what virus causes fetal death, delivery of mummified fetuses, and later term abortion in dogs? What is a pathognomic lesion seen with this virus?

A

Canine herpesvirus
Hemorrhage and necrosis of the kidneys

31
Q

what bacteria is seen to cause abortion of dead and autolyzed fetuses in dogs?

A

Brucella canis

32
Q

what acronym is used in association to the affects of of viruses on porcine reproduction?

A

S - stillbirth
M - mummification
E - embryonic
D - Death
I - infertility

33
Q

what virus causes late term abortion, hemorrhage and edema as well a myocarditis in the aborted fetuses of pigs?

A

PRRS - porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome - an aterivirus

34
Q

what virus of pigs causes fetal mummification, abortions, stillbirths, and weak newborn piglets?

A

Porcine circovirus-2

35
Q

what virus of pigs can cause embryonic death with resorption, fetal mummification, small litters, and stair-step litters?

A

Porcine parvovirus

36
Q

what is a stair-step litter?

A

a litter of variable sized, dead fetuses that are at different stages of resorption, which correlates with different stages of development at the time of in-utero death

37
Q

what are two reportable diseases in pigs that are associated with early embryonic death, fetal mummification, abortion and stillbirths?

A

hog cholera/classical swine virus (pestivirus) and pseudorabies/Aujeszky’s disease (porcine herpesvirus-1)

38
Q

what are two bacteria that pose a big threat to pigs associated with abortions?

A

Brucella suis and Leptospira

39
Q

what virus of sheep can cause abortion, stillbirths, or the birth of lambs a neurologic abnormality in which there is hypomyelination of the spinal cord causing tremors to tonic-clonic contractions? What are these lambs called?

A

Border disease virus (pestivirus)
lambs are called hairy shakers

40
Q

what is the most common cause of infectious abortions in sheep and goats? What is it also referred to as? What is the most reliable lesion found?

A

Chlamydophila abortus, aka enzootic abortion
Multifocal, localized, or generalized necrotic placentitis of cotyledons and intercotyledonary areas

41
Q

what bacteria of sheep and goats can cause abortion and still birth and be transmitted by ticks or ingested?

A

Coxiella burnetii

42
Q

What bacteria of sheep and goats can cause abortion storms and leaves target lesions on the liver of the aborted fetuses?

A

Campylobacter fetus

43
Q

What zoonotic protozoa causes abortion in sheep and is transmitted by cats?

A

Toxoplasma gondii

44
Q

infection of BVDV in pregnant cows between these days has what affects?
45-125 days
60-120 days
80-150 days

A

45-125 days - intrauterine growth retardation
60-120 days - PI calves
80-150 days - CNS, ocular, and other malformations

45
Q

what virus of cattle can cause fetal death within 24 hours of infection and causes multifocal necrosis of most commonly the liver?

A

IBR (bovine herpesvirus-1)
