Final Flashcards
Herpesvirus - morphology
enveloped, icosahedral capside (100-110 nm)

self limiting but sever in immunocompromise/novel host
Herpesvirus - human 1,2,3 conditions
oral, genital, chickenpox

abortion, IBR (rhinotracheitis), IPV (pustular vulvovag), IPB (pustular balanoposthitis)
EHV 1 and 4 - necropsy
Rhinopneumonitis (1/4)- edema and petechiation; abortion (1/4) -fetus not autolyzed; neruo (1)- brain/spinal cord hemorrhage
Herpesvirus inclusions
Intranuclear
EHV 3 - condition
Equine coital exanthema
Equine coital exanthema - incidence and occurence
worldwide, subclinical, with persistence and recurrence
Rhinopneumonitis- viral cause
EHV 1 and 4
Equine coital exanthema -etiology
EHV 3
Equine coital exanthema -CS
vesicles on skin of vulva or penis that progress to erosions and scabs, heal in 2 weeks; secondary bacterial skin infection common, may leave depigmentation
Human betaherpes
5, 6, 7 (cytomegalovirus, roseolovirus, pityriasis rosea
Human gamma herpes
4, 8 (eppstein barr, kaposi’s sarcoma)
Sheep and wildebeast
Catarrhal fever!
Poxvirus - morphology
Very large enveloped complex virion (brick vs ovoid)
Poxvirus - lesions
Epitheliotropic - induces proliferative lesions
Poxvirus - inclusions
Intracytoplasmic
Poxvirus - pathogenesis
Self limiting to lethal, can be broad hosts, zoonotic potential
Poxvirus - disease caused by
Chordopoxviruses (has 9 genera)
Name the two zoonotic pox viruses
Chrodopoxviruses: Orthopoxvirus and parapoxvirus
Orthopoxvirus- infection
Cowpox virus
Orthopoxvirus- species
Man, cattle, cats, zoo species
Parapoxvirus- infection
Pseudocowpox virus, bovine papular stomatitis, orf virus
Parapoxvirus- species
sheep, cattle, goat, human
Pseudocowpox- describe
Pathognomonic ring/horseshoe lesion, teat lesions proliferative, milker’s nodule in humans
What is the most important pox virus of all domestic animals
Sheeppox, goatpox, LSD (lumpy skin disease) of cattle
Sheeppox, goatpox, LSD - mortality/morbidity
Mortality high especially in young, morbidity = loss of milk/meat
Sheeppox goatpox- etiology
Different species tropisms in each geographic region
Sheeppox goatpox- CS
Malignant (more common)- lesions, depression, fever, discharge, sudden death before lesions; Benign- only skin lesions under tail
Sheeppox goatpox- describe lesions
On unwooled skin and on buccal, respiratory, digestive and urognital mucosae
LSD of cattle- geo origin
SE africa- spreading
Sheeppox goatpox LSD- virus type
carpripoxvirus
LSD of cattle- CS
Respiratory and skin lesions, lymphadenopathy and edema
LSD of cattle- morbidity/mortality
Morbidity 100%, mortality 1-2%
LSD of cattle- differentiate from
pseudo-lumpy skin disease (BoVH2)
Fowlpox- describe lesions
Comb, wattle, face
Parvovirus- morphology and nucleic acid type
small, naked, icosahedral (18-26), linear ssDNA (5kb)
Parvovirus- replication
Replicates in rapidly dividing cells’ nucleus (GI tract, WBC, pregnancy,
Parvovirus- inclusions
Eosinophilic intranuclear
Parvovirus- repro consequences
SMEDI- stillbirth, mummification, embryonic death, infertility
