26
Q

Disease caused by BLV

A

Enzootic bovine leukosis

aka B cell lymphosarcoma

27
Q

What is the most commone age range to be infected with BLV?

A

6 months to 3 years

28
Q

How is BLV transmitted?

A

Horizontal

Vertical

29
Q

What method of transmission is most common with BLV?

A

Horizontal

30
Q

How does horizontal transmission occur with BLV?

A

Transfer of blood containing infected lymphocytes

Biting flies is a possiblity though not 100% sure at this point

31
Q

How does vertical transmission of BLV occur?

A

Transplacentally

Or maybe through colostrum

32
Q

How long does the maternal antibodies protect the calf from BLV infections?

A

Months

33
Q

How long does the BLV infection last?

A

Life

34
Q

What is the clinical manesfestation of BLV?

A

Most are subclinical w/ persistant lymphocytosis

Clinical disease = Enlarged LN + GI problems + Decreased appetitie + wt. loss

35
Q

What cancer is most common with BLV? What is the rate of occurance?

A

5 to 10%

Lymphosarcoma

36
Q

What are the four disease stages seen with BLV infections?

A

Primary

Persistant infection

Persistant lymphocytosis

Tumoral

37
Q

Describe primary infection of BLV

A

Infection of B cells

Flu-like symptoms

38
Q

Describe persistant infection of BLV

A

Replication of B cells via active immune response

Immune dysregulation

Most subclincal, with no outward signs of infection

39
Q

What is the immune system dysregulation seen with persistant infection of BLV?

A

Overexpression of cytokines

40
Q

Describe persistent lymphocytosis infection of BLV?

A

Continued increased in lymphocytes

Increase in opportunistic infections

Decrease in milk production

41
Q

Describe tumoral infection of BLV

A

Transformation of B cells

Leads to lymphosarcoma

eventually leading to death

42
Q

JSRV aka …

A

Ovine pulmonary adenocarcinoma

43
Q

JSRV - Envelope protein

A

gp52 + 36

44
Q

JRSV - Enzymes

A

RT

Integrase

Protease

45
Q

Host of JRSV?

A

Sheep

46
Q

How is JSRV transmitted?

A

***occurs before clinical symptoms are seen

Inhalation of aerosolized respiratory secretions

(Also via colostrum + milk)

47
Q

How long is the incubation period for JSRV?

A

months to years

Longer in older animals

48
Q

Where are the tumors normally located that are related to JSRV infections?

A

Lungs

Associated lymph tissue

49
Q

What are the clinical signs of OPA?

A

Progressive emaciation

Loss of appetite

Weight loss

Frothy nasal exudate

Respiratory compromise

Severe dyspnea

50
Q

What is the target cell of JRSV?

A

type II alveolar cells

Non-cilatated bronchial cells

51
Q

What is responsible for inducing cellular transformation in JSRV?

A

Viral envelope proteins

52
Q

What happens once there is cellular transformation in JSRV in regards to clinical symtpoms?

A

Excess surfactant produced by cancerous cells = increase in pulmonary fluid

Tumor + Necrossis = secondary infections

53
Q

MVV related disease

A

Ovine Progressive Pneumonia

54
Q

Symptoms of MVV infection

A

Wasting

Respiratory distress

Mastitis

Secondary infections

55
Q

Common age where MVV infections are seen

A

4+ years of age

56
Q

How is MVV transmitted?

A

Pulmonary exudate

Colostrum

Milk

57
Q

What cell type does MVV target?

A

Mononuclear WBC’s

  1. Lymphocytes
  2. Monocytes
  3. Macrophages
58
Q

What happens when WBC’s are infected by MVV?

A

Lymphoproliferative lesions w/ mononuclear cell infiltration and strong immune response

59
Q

Where are lesions seen with MVV infections?

A

Lungs

Mammary glands

Synovial membranes

Brain

60
Q

CAEV related disease….

A

Chronic arthritis

61
Q

62
Q

How is CAEV transmitted?

A

Colostrum + Milk

63
Q

What is the target cell type of CAEV?
