Gastrointestinal Tract Viral Disease Flashcards
what are the forms of feline panleukopenia?
subclinical
peracute
acute
chronic does not exist
what is the most common form of panleukopenia?
subclinical
what is seen in peracute panleukopenia?
sudden onset fever
leukopenia
death within 24 hours
may look like sudden death (“fading kitten syndrome”)
who is seen with acute panleukopenia?
fetus to neonate
more than 4 weeks old to adult
what happens if a fetus in early to mid gestation is infected with panleukopenia?
death
in cats more than 4 weeks old, what cells does panleukopenia target?
small intestine epithelial cells
lymphocytes
bone marrow precursor cells
how does feline panleukopenia virus enter cells?
clathrin-mediated endocytosis
where does feline panleukopenia virus first replicate?
oropharyngeal lymphoid tissues
which cells does feline panleukopenia virus target?
rapidly dividing cells
why are there gastrointestinal signs with feline panleukopenia virus?
intestinal crypt epithelial cells have a high rate of replication
why does feline panleukopenia virus cause leukopenia?
bone marrow progenitors have a high rate of replication
which patients show cerebellar hypoplasia due to infection with feline panleukopenia virus?
kittens infected in utero
how does feline panleukopenia virus cause cell death?
apoptosis
necrosis
lysis by cytotoxic T cells
why does recovery from panleukopenia occur relatively quickly?
neutralizing antibodies develop in 3-5 days
acute disease can be devastating
how does feline panleukopenia virus spread?
direct contact with bodily fluids from cats with acute and subclinical infections
can be shed from recovered cats for >6 weeks
what are the clinical signs of canine parvovirus?
fever
vomiting
diarrhea
dehydration
lethargy
anorexia
what virus causes canine parvovirus?
canine parvovirus 2 (CPV-2)
what is the genome of canine parvovirus 2?
ssDNA
5Kb genome
is there cerebellar hypoplasia with in utero canine parvovirus 2?
no known
what cells are impacted if a fetus to a week old puppy is infected with canine parvovirus 2?
cardiac myocytes
what cells are impacted by canine parvovirus 2 in dogs more than 4 weeks old?
intestinal crypt epithelial cells
bone marrow hematopoietic progenitors
in dogs more than 4 weeks old, what happens with canine parvovirus?
bone marrow precursor cells impacted
neutropenia pronounced: short half-life
neutropenia predisposes to secondary bacterial infections (esp. pneumonia)
neutropenia transient
how long does canine parvovirus 2 survive in the environment?
months
what are the disease syndromes of infectious canine hepatitis (ICH)?
peracute
acute
chronic
what are the reservoirs of canine parvovirus?
canids primarily
what do you see in the chronic form of infectious canine hepatitis?
chronic active hepatitis
hepatic fibrosis
cirrhosis
survival up to 8 months
what is the most common form of infectious canine hepatitis?
acute
what virus causes infectious canine hepatitis?
canine adenovirus-1 (CAV-1)
how does initial infection of infectious canine hepatitis occur?
nasopharyngeal, conjunctival, or oropharyngeal routes
then replication in tonsils
then systemic infection
how is infectious canine hepatitis shed?
saliva
feces
urine
how is infectious canine hepatitis spread?
direct contact
fomites
who does white scours affect?
bovine
swine
who is affected in bovine by white scours?
5-14 days old
what is the most common diarrheal disease in calves?
white scours
who is affected in swine by white scours?
7-10 days old
why does white scours have a high mortality rate?
dehydration
secondary infections in calves as well
what are the direct mechanisms of pathogenesis of white scours?
infection targets mature villus tip enterocytes
secretory diarrhea
what are the indirect mechanisms of pathogenesis of white scours?
osmotic dysregulation
malabsorption due to villus blunting
how is white scours transmitted?
fecal-oral: direct, fomites
environmentally stable
what are the clinical syndromes of calf diarrhea or winter dysentery?
calf diarrhea
winter dysentery
respiratory disease
what does calf diarrhea cause?
usually in <3 weeks old, can be up to 3 months
profuse watery diarrhea
high morbidity/mortality
what does winter dysentery cause?
adults affected
explosive bloody diarrhea
low mortality
concurrent mild respiratory disease
what are the cell targets of calf diarrhea or winter dysentery?
epithelial cells of gastrointestinal tract
epithelial cells of respiratory tract
does recovery from calf diarrhea or winter dysentery protect against disease and infection?
only disease, not infection
what are some porcine enteric coronaviruses?
transmissible gastroenteritis (TGE)
porcine epidemic diarrhea syndrome (PEDS)
porcine delta coronavirus (PDCoV)
swine acute diarrhea syndrome (SADS)
how does transmissible gastroenteritis (TGE) affect swine less than 7 days old?
near 100% mortality
how does transmissible gastroenteritis (TGE) affect growers?
moderate diarrhea
how does transmissible gastroenteritis (TGE) affect 2-3 week old swine?
severe disease
survive
