Lecture 13 - Respiratory Virology 3 Flashcards
what are the subfamilies of herpesviridae
- alpha (rapidly growing, neuro)
- beta (slow, cytomegalic, glands/kidneys)
- gamma (lymphoid tissue, Marek’s)
what are the 3 targets of alpha herpesvirus epithelial infections
- respiratory disease
- ocular disease
- abortion
T/F: the presence of infection in both epithelium and nervous tissue create multi-organ neonatal infection
TRUE
T/F: absence of antibody in a neonate would occur if the neonate was born to an immune mother or FPT
TRUE
what are the 3 types of equine herpesvirus and their manifestations
- EHV3 (genitalia)
- EHV4 (respiratory)
- EHV1 (abortion, neuro, multi-organ neonatal)
describe EHV4
- equine rhinopneumonitis virus
- Young foals are commonly affected due to multiple factors
T/F: immunity to EHV4 is long-lived
FALSE
how is EHV4 controlled
- inactivated or ML vaccines
- dosing to foals and pregnant mares
T/F: EHV4 vaccines control respiratory, abortion, and CNS side effects of the disease
FALSE - does not manage CNS effects
describe equine rhinitis A virus
- high sero antibody prevalence suggests subclinical infections are common
- persistent infection
- infects pharynx, upper and lower airways
how is equine rhinitis A virus controlled
annual inactivated virus vaccine
describe the 4 phases of equine adenovirus pathogenesis
- replication in the oral and nasal epithelium
- viremia
- migration to epithelium of respiratory track, conjunctiva, and jejunum
- disease (mild or severe pneumonia)
what horse is genetically predisposed to B & T cell deficiency (CID)
Arabian horse
T/F: Hendra virus is zoonotic
TRUE
what are the 3 ways hendra virus is transmitted
- bat to horse (contaminated fruit)
- horse to horse (infected secretions)
- human-to-horse contact
describe the pathogenesis of canine distemper (paramyxovirus) in 1 sentence
infects mononuclear cells of oropharynx and spreads to lymphoid tissues (primary) then organ systems (secondary)
the clinical signs of canine distemper depends on what
- strain
- host
- age
- immunity
- environmental stress
