Q

By what means do bovine herpesvirus-1 spread systemically to other organs?

  1. Immune cells
  2. Red blood cells
  3. Nerve fibers
  4. Herpes-associated protein-B (HAPB)
A

A) Immune cells

Lymphocytes and macrophages, although produce little virus appear to be a means by which virus reaches extra-respiratory sites after respiratory infections.

Q
  1. How does the immune response to vaccination cause worsening of disease with bovine syncytial virus?
    a. Increased IL 8 production –> overwhelming neutrophil chemotaxis –> lung tissue destruction
    b. Increased IgG production from vaccine –> purpura-like vasculitis–> systemic illness
    c. Increased IgE from vaccine/natural exposure –> degranulation of mast cells–> severe lower airway pathology
    d. Increased adhesion of neutrophils to pathogen –> secondary neutropenia + immune suppresion
A

Q

What is the function of the surface glycoproteins in BHV-1 infection?

A

Surface glycoproteins gC, gD, gB interact with heparan sulfate proteoglycans for cell attachment and entry

Q

What are the six different components of Mannheimia hemolytica that causes pathogenicity ?

A
  1. Exotoxin (leukotoxin) - binds to cells via CD18 - contact increases expression of LFA-1 on ruminant leukocytes (increases sensitivity to injury). Low concentration: leukocyte death via apoptosis. Higher concentration: cell lysis.
  2. LPS - Excessive inflammation. Potentiates effects of Leukotoxin. IL-8 expression is especially important because it is a major inducer of neutrophil chemotaxis.
  3. Polysaccharide capsule - aids in attachment and prevents phagocytosis by neutrophils
  4. IROMP (Iron regulated outer membrane proteins)- bind transferrin - alters function of neutrophils
  5. Adhesions - mediate attachment to host cells
  6. Neuraminidase - aid in host colonization - decrease viscosity of respiratory mucus and decrease repellant negative charge on host cells by cleaving sialic acid residues.
17
Q

Lung lesions for M. bovis

A
  • Caseonecrotic lesions
  • Foci of coagulation necrosis
18
Q

Pathophysiology of OPP

A

Ingestion of milk/colostrum → monocytes or macrophages → spread to tissues

19
Q

With respect to BRSV and vaccination of calves before 1 month old

A

vaccination of calves before 1 month old is not effective.

20
Q
  1. Which best describes the pathophys of interstitial pneumonia/fog fever?
    a. eat lush grass with tryptophan –> forms perilla ketones –> directly kills clara cells/type 1 pneumocytes in lungs
    b. eat lush grass with tryptophan –> forms 3 methyl-indole in rumen –> directly kills clara cells/type 1 pneumocytes in lungs
    c. eat lush grass with tryptophan –> forms perilla ketones –> metabolized by clara cells/type 1 pneumocytes in lungs into toxic byproducts
    d. eat lush grass with tryptophan –> forms 3 methyl-indole in rumen –> metabolized by clara cells/type 1 pneumocytes in lungs into toxic byproducts
A

d. eat lush grass with tryptophan –> forms 3 methyl-indole in rumen –> metabolized by clara cells/type 1 pneumocytes in lungs into toxic byproducts

21
Q

Test for carriers of Mycoplasma mycoides-large colony type

A

PCR of auricular swabs

“hot swollen joints”

22
Q

3 important features of ABPEE

A
  1. Absence of coughing
  2. No signs of sepsis
  3. No adventitious lung sounds
23
Q

Main features in the pathogenesis of H. somni

A

Vasculitis and vascular thrombi Induce IgE

24
Q

27
Q
  • Most common lung worm in small ruminants
  • where is the adult parasite located?
A

Muellerius capillaris

28
Q

Why is Mycoplasma bovis resistant to b-lactams?

A

Bacteria lacks cell wall

  • Chronic pneumonia and polyarthritis
