Q

What are prevention methods of BTV?

A

Vaccines: attenuated vaccines, which are available in countries including the US, are generally serotype specific; polyvalent vaccines are available in South Africa, Israel and other countries

Vector control: use of repellents and insecticides, lodging animals indoors during night since Culicoides have nocturnal feeding habits, using nets in windows and doors of animals shelters, not allowing animals to graze near possible insect breeding area

Q

What is African horse sickness (AHS)?

A

Infectious, non-contagious, arthropod-borne disease of horses, donkeys and mules

17
Q

T/F: Dogs can contract a highly fatal form of AHS

A

True

Resulting from the ingestion of infected carcass material from horses that have died from AHS

18
Q

T/F: AHS is also a list A infectious disease of the OiE?

A

True

Enzootic in sub-Saharan Africa, although occasional outbreaks have occurred in Northern Africa, Middle East and in Europe.

19
Q

What causes AHS?

A

A virus in the genus Orbivirus

20
Q

How do Culicoides transmit AHS?

A

Get blood meal from infected horses or zebra reservoirs -> healthy horses

Pathogenesis is the same as Bluetongue in sheep

21
Q

What are the forms of AHS?

A

Acute (pulmonary) Horse sickness (Dunkop)

Subacute (cardiac) horse sickness (Dikkop)

22
Q

How do we prevent and control AHS?

A

Vaccination in enzootic areas
Control vector population
Reduced exposure to biting insects
Slaughter of sick or viremic animals

23
Q

What virus is a major cause of severe viral diarrhea in young mammals and birds

A

Rotavirus

24
Q

T/F: based on differences in VP6 protein and VP6 gene, rotaviruses are classified into at least 6 groups/species, designated as RVA-RHV

A

False, 8 groups, not 6

25
Q

RVAs are the most common cause of what in the young of humans and a wide variety of animal species and birds?

A

Viral diarrhea

26
Q

What is the transmission of rotavirus in animals and humans?

A

Infected stool contains large number of viruses
Fecal-oral transmission is the most likely route of rotavirus spread
Virus can survive in environment, is resistant to common disinfectants, and can be transmitted through contaminated objects, water or food
The main site of viral multiplication is the mature enterocytes on the villi of upper small intestine

27
Q

What are the symptoms common with rotavirus?

A

Severe diarrhea in young animals
Profuse diarrhea, anorexia, dehydration and occasionally mild fever
Uncomplicated cases usually recover within 3-4 days

28
Q

What are the vaccines available for rotavirus?

A

Equine RV Vaccine

Bovine RV Vaccines:
Adjuvanted. Bovine rota-coronavirus inactivated virus, Cl perfringens type C toxoid, Escherichia coli Bacterin. For vaccination of healthy, pregnant cows.
[Bovine rotavirus-coronavirus vaccine, killed virus, Clostridium perfringens types C and D Escherichia coli bacterin-toxoid]. For vaccination of healthy pregnant cows.

29
Q

Are rotaviruses zoonotic?

A

YES

30
Q

What is avian reovirus?

A

Avian reoviruses are involved in a variety of disease conditions in domestic poultry of which the most important is viral arthritis/tenosynovitis in chickens

31
Q

Who are the hosts of avian reovirus?

A

Broilers tend to get viral arthritis/tenosynovitis and leg weakness.

32
Q

What is the transmission of avian reovirus?

A

Fecal-oral route
Transovarial
Inhalation

33
Q

What is the pathogenesis of avian reovirus?

A

After intestinal replication, the virus spreads via the bloodstream to all parts of the body.
Pathogenic viruses localize in the hock joint, where they cause arthritis

34
Q

What are the clinical findings with avian reovirus?

A 
Lameness
Viral arthritis/tenosynovitis
Swollen and inflamed hock joints
Clear synovial fluid and inflammation of synovial membranes
Ruptured gastrocnemius tendons
35
Q

How can we prevent avian reovirus arthritis?

A

Lived and killed vaccines are available.
Since chicks are the most susceptible to avian reovirus infection immediately after hatching, vaccine protocols aim at offering passive immunity to chicks from maternal antibody following vaccination of the hen, or by active immunity after early vaccination with a live vaccine.

36
Q

Can you name the common biological vector of BTV?

A

Culicoides

37
Q

Rotavirus is primarily transmitted by ____?

A

Fecal-oral route

38
Q

Dunkop and Dikkop forms are clinical forms of _____?

A

African Horse Sickness
