Q

T/F

BVDV biotypes are based on what the virus does in cell culture, not based on virulence

19
Q

Bovine Viral Diarrhea Virus:

Two different biotypes:

A

Cytopathic

Non-cytopathic

20
Q

What is the clinical significance of the non-cytopathic biotype of BVDV?

A

Leads to persistently infected calves that will shed the virus

21
Q

Bovine Viral Diarrhea Virus:

Transmission is:
A. Vertical
B. Horizontal
C. Both
D. Neither
22
Q

Bovine Viral Diarrhea Virus:

Vertical Transmission is important for two broad reasons:
1.
2.

A
  1. Where creation of persistently infected calves occurs

2. Depending on time of fetal exposure, different disease manifestations occur.

23
Q

Bovine Viral Diarrhea Virus:

Horizontal Tranmission occurs most often via….

A

Persistently infected calf shedding high numbers of virus particles.
OR
Fomites

24
Q

Bovine Viral Diarrhea Virus:

An acutely infected animal was usually exposed via….

A

Persistently infected calves

25
Q

Bovine Viral Diarrhea Virus:

Virus can be shed in what substances?

A

Tears, Feces, Saliva, Urine, Semen, Milk

26
Q

Bovine Viral Diarrhea Virus:

PI: Two ways they occur?

A

(PI = persistently infected)

  1. PI cows create PI calves
  2. Fetus infected in utero prior to day 120-150
27
Q

Bovine Viral Diarrhea Virus:

Clinical features of PI animal:

1.
2.
3.

A
  1. Ill-Thift
  2. Intermittent diarrhea
  3. Chronic Respiratory Disease
28
Q

Bovine Viral Diarrhea Virus:

Most PI animals (do/do not) show clinical signs

29
Q

Bovine Viral Diarrhea Virus:

Diagnostic confirmation of PI animal:
1.
2.

A
  1. Remain virus neutralizatio negative with tests 14 days apart
  2. Remains virus isolation positive for 14 days or longer
30

Potential economic reproductive impacts:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
A
  1. decreased conception
  2. abortions
  3. stillborn
  4. weak calves
  5. ovarian pathology
31
Q

Bovine Viral Diarrhea Virus:

Potential production-related economic impacts:

1.
2.
3.
4.

A
  1. Decreased weight of gain
  2. Respiratory
  3. Decreased immune status
  4. Decreased milk
32
Q

Bovine Viral Diarrhea Virus:

Diagnosis Methods:

  1. Gold standard? Downside of this method?
    2.
    3.
    4.
A
  1. Virus isolation. Maternal antibodies interfere
  2. Immunohistochemistry
  3. PCR
  4. ELISA
33
Q

Bovine Viral Diarrhea Virus:

Control methods:

1.
2.
