Q

Explain the migration of Ascariasis

A

Intestine -> portal vein -> liver -> vena cava -> larval -> development in lungs -> cough and swallow -> intestinal maturation -> eggs in faeces

Q

What happens to foetus when affected with BVD

A

If foetus is infected by non-cytopathic strain of BVDV transplacentally early in gestation - Possible reproductive failure - PI immunotolerant carrier

21
Q

What happens to the PI of BVD

A

Mucosal disease: PI carriers that later become super infected by cytopathic BVDV strain

22
Q

What is the outcome with mucosal disease

A

Severe, usually fatal - Fever, anorexia, nasal dischage, respiratory disease, ptyalism - Acute stomatitis and pharyngitis -> oral erosions and ulcers - Severe diarrhoea, rapid dehydration, death Chronic mucosal disease - Some evidence of healing of ulcers - Frequent, scant mucoid faeces with blood flecks, tenesmus - Emacication - Occasionally interdigital dermatitis, coronets, laminitis

23
Q

What is the appearance of the lesions of mucosal disease

A

White necrotic foci 1-2mm with margin of hyperaemia progress to ulcers Erosions, ulcers and crusts on nares and muzzle Ulcers throughout GIT - Oral cavity - Oesophagus, rumenoreticulum, omasum, abomasum - GALT and Peyer’s patches in intestines are necrotic - Chronic: food lesoions: interdigital dermatitis, coronets

24
Q

What is rinder pest similar to

A

BVD

25
Q

What is malignant catarrhal fever

A

Pansystemic ideas of cattle and wild ruminants - Sporadic disease, high mortality

26
Q

What are the two forms of MCF

A
  • Wildebesst associated MCF - Sheep associated MCF
27
Q

What are the clinical signs of MCF

A
  • Conjunctivitis, corneal opacity, lacrimation - Enlarged lymph nodes, nervous signs, diarrhoea
28
Q

What bacteria causes Johne’s disease (paratuberculosis)

A

Mycobacterium avian spp. paratuberculosis

29
Q

What age cows are infected with Johne’s disease

A

Over 18 month of age - Chronic diarrhoea, emaciation, hypoproteinaemia

30
Q

What are the lesions of Johne’s disease

A

Chronic thickened intestinal mucosal folds - Ileum, caecum, proximal colon Granulomatous enteritis - Accumulation of many foamy macrophages in lamina propria esp ileum - Mesenteric lymphadenopathy

31
Q

What bacteria causes Yersoniosis

A

Yersinia enterocolitica and pseudotuberculosis

32
Q

What does Yersoniosis. mainly occur as

A

Intestinal disease Mainly a disease of temperate climates

33
Q

What is Yersoniosis commonly known as

A

Mud fever

34
Q

What is the action of Yersoniosis

A

Invade via M cells over Peyer’s patches

35
Q

What does coccidiosis infect

A

Young animals: neonatal scours

36
Q

What is something about coccidiosis

A

Very host and tissue specific protozoa - Many species of Eimeria infect different ruminant species - Obligate intracellular pathogens
