37
Q

A

Worldwide

38
Q

How do we diagnose NDV?

A

Clinical signs vary and are dependent on factors such as: virus/pathotype, host species, age of host, co-infection with other organisms, environmental stress, immune status.

Clinical signs alone do not present a reliable basis for diagnosis of ND

Q

Lentogenic strains of NDV are usually associated with what type of disease? And what are the clinical signs of this strain?

A

Subclinical disease
Mild respiratory symptoms, coughing, gasping, sneezing and rales

If other co-infectious agents are circulating, can result in severe signs
Mortality is negligible

40
Q

Mesogenic strains of NDV cause what type of disease? Is mortality high or low?

A

Acute respiratory disease with neurologic signs in some species. Mortality is low.

If there is co-infection with other agents, the disease can result in severe signs

41
Q

Velogenic strains of NDV cause what type of disease in chicken? Is mortality high or low? What are the clinical signs?

A

Severe disease with high mortality.
Signs are mainly respiratory or nervous
Initial clinical signs: lethargy, inappetence, ruffled feathers, edema.
Later: greenish or white watery diarrhea, dyspnea, inflammation of the head and neck with cyanotic discoloration.
Neurologic signs may be tremors, tonic/clinic spasms, wing/leg paresis, torticollis, and aberrant circling behavior

42
Q

Will you see a drop in egg production with the velogenic strain of ND?

A

Yes

Eggs contain a watery albumin and abnormally colored, rough or thin shells

43
Q

Velogenic strains result in what? Will you see clinical signs?

A

Sudden death with few or no signs

44
Q

Morbidity and mortality rates may approach ____ in unvaccinated chickens?

A

100%f

45
Q

A

No pathognomonic gross lesions.
Final diagnosis must await virus isolation and ID

Only velogenic strains produce significant gross lesions:
Swelling of eyes or entire head
Edema, hemorrhage or degeneration of ovaries
Ulcerations of respiratory/digestive lymphoid tissue

(Edematous comb containing foci of hemorrhage, conjunctival hemorrhage is most severe in nictitans, tracheal and laryngeal mucosa hemorrhage, cecal tonsil necrosis

46
Q

What are the lab diagnosis that can be done?

Samples should be sent to reference lab
Dead birds: Oro-nasal swabs, lung, kidneys, intestine, cecal tonsils, spleen, brain, liver and heart tissues, separately or as a pool
Live birds: tracheal or oropharyngeal and cloacal swabs
Clotted blood or serum for serology
Inoculation of embryonated specific pathogen free eggs and tested for hemagglutination activity
ELIDA
Validated specific molecular methods (PCR)

Bird-proofing houses, feed and water
Proper carcass disposal

50
Q

Tell me about the nipah virus

Severe, respiratory disease in pigs

52
Q

Who are the reservoir species for Nipah?

Virus is found in the urine and in partially eaten fruit (saliva).

No known secondary host. Virus that infects man comes from another animal.
Dogs and cats can be infected
Vertical transmission
I activated at 60C for 60 minutes
Susceptible to common soaps and disinfectants
Survives for days in fruit bat urine and contaminated fruit juice

53
Q

Experimentally in cats, 6-8 days
Average incubation is 4-20 days

54
Q

What are the clinical signs of Nipah in pigs?

A 
Sucking piglets (<1 mo): labored breathing and muscle tremors with limb weakness, mortality in piglets can be high (40%)
Young swine (>1-6 mo): acute fever, labored breathing, nasal discharge and loud non-productive cough (barking pig or one-mile cough), neurologic signs, mild to fulminant disease with high morbidity and low mortality 
Older animals (>6 mo): marked neurologic signs, respiratory signs: open-mouthed breathing, nasal discharge, and sialarrhea
