16
Q

Pseudorabies in Pigs Pathogenesis

A

primary site of infection is URT
Spreads via lymph nodes
Spreads to CNS via cranial nerve axons w/preference for pons and medulla

17
Q

CNS lesions associtated with Pseudorabies in pigs

A

gangioneuritis
nonsuppurative meningioencephalitis
perivascular cuffing

18
Q

Family Herpesviridae Morphology

A
enveloped, spherical to pleomorphic 
150-200nm
Icosohedral
162 capsomers, has tegument
Glycoproteins embedded in lipid envelope
19
Q

Clinical Signs Pseudorabies in Pigs

A

Nonimmune piglets die
nonimmune pregnant sows 50% abortion
Older piglets, growers, and adult pigs- mild dz

20
Q

Clinical signs in Pseudorabies in secondary hosts

A

Pruritis

High mortality

21
Q

Do cats generally have pruritis with Pseudorabies?

A

No, the dz progresses too rapidly

22
Q

Pseudorabies Dx

A
History and clinical finding
Intranuclear inclusion bodies
Perivascular cuffing
Serology
PCR
23
Q

Do Pseudorabies vx prevent infection?

A

No they reduce clinical signs

24
Q

Equine Herpes Virus-1
Distribtion
Transmission

A

endemic worldwide
aerosol
direct/indirect contact with nasal discharge, aborted fetuses, placenta/placental fluids

25
Q

Where does latent EHV-1 live?

A

Trigeminal ganglia

Lymph system- lymphocytes

26
Q

Central lesion associated with EHV-1

A

infection of endothelial lining

27
Q

How does EHV-1 cause Immunosuppression?

A

EHV-1 codes for a protein that inhibits TAP, blocking antigen delivery of antigen to class I MHC molecules.

28
Q

Respiratory EHV-1

A

Younger horses
Rhinopneumonitis
Fever
Secondary bacterial infections

29
Q

Encephalomyelopathy of EHV-1

A

immune mediated vasculitis leading to infarction and hemorrhage within brain and spinal cord
can lead to lameness, quadraplegia and recombancy resulting in death

30
Q

Reproductive Form of EHV-1

A

Mostly occur in last trimester, sporadic, natural immunity lasts up to 3 years hence “abortion storms”

31
