Lecture 12 - Respiratory Virology 2 Flashcards
PRDC is a multifactoral disease caused by what 3 things
- bacteria
- virus
- management/environment
what are the ways PRRSV is transmitted
- aerosolized
- sexual transmission
- fomites
T/F: PRRSV has a very high mutation rate
TRUE
what is the site of infection and target of PRRSV
infection: lung or bulbourethral gland
target: macrophages
T/F: there have been no vaccines developed to address PRRSV shedding in semen
FALSE
what does PRRSV induce
immunosuppression
what are the clinical signs of PRRSV
- fever
- anorexia
- respiratory distress
- pneumonia
- SMEDI (abortions and stillbirths)
inactivated vaccines
low cross-protection; usually strain isolated from herd
live vaccines
some cross-protection; potential recombination
T/F: genetically modified pigs against PRRSV have been made but are not common
TRUE
Porcine respiratory coronavirus (PRCV) is a mutant of
Transmissible gastroenteritis virus (TGEV)
T/F: antibodies against ORCV and TGEV are cross-reactive
TRUE
Pseudorabies/Aujeszky’s is present in what populations
eradicated from commercial swine but endemic in feral swine populations
what are the natural and accidental hosts of pseudorabies
natural = swine
accidental = dogs, cats, horse, sheep, goats, rabbits
outcome of pseudorabies is dependent on what
- age
- immune status
Young pigs infected with pseudorabies undergo
multiorgan neonatal disease with high mortality
what is the primary agent in PRDC
porcine circovirus
what is the respiratory secondary infection that arises from PCVD
porcine respiratory disease complex
