Q

what can BPIV3 do during replication that BRSV cannot?

A

BPIV3 replicates well in pulmonary alveolar macrophages, which induces immune suppression because phagocytosis and prostaglandin production is suppressed.

Q

how does BRSV infection cause damage through the hosts immune system?

A

proinflammatory genes are upregulated and extensive mast-cell degranulation (creates cytokine storm)

Q

is BRSV more pathogenic in neonates or young calves? why?

A

more pathogenic in young calves because they have developed an immune system, which then goes into overdrive upon BRSV infection (creates cytokine storm)

fever
depression
cattharal inflammmation
severe eye lesions
swollen lymph nodes
lameness
CNS signs

38
Q

what is a distinctive lesion of MCF?

A

severe eye lesions

39
Q

what kind of virus is herpesvirus

A

large double stranded enveloped DNA virus

40
Q

what species are infected by bovine herpes virus 1?

A

cattle and buffalo

41
Q

what can BHV-1 lead to?

A

upper resp disorders, conjunctivitis, genital disorders, immune suppression

42
Q

what does BHV-1.1 impact?

A

respiratory tract, aborted fetuses*

43
Q

what does BHV-1.2a impact?

A

respiratory tract, genital tract (IBR), infectious pustular vulvovaginitis (IPV), balanopostitis (IPB), abortions

44
Q

what does BHV-1.2b impact?

A

respiratory disease, IPV/IPB, NOT abortion

45
Q

which subtype of BHV-1 is most prevalent in north america

A

BHV-1.1

46
Q

how is BHV-1 transmitted?

A

direct nose-to-nose contact or aerosol over short distances

also through semen

47
Q

which cells does BHV-1 infect?

A

enters epithelial cells, but resides in ganglion cells when in latent period

48
Q

how does BHV-1 cause pathology?

A

lysis of infected cells- necrosis and apoptosis

49
Q

why is lysis of ciliated epithelium important in regards to BHV-1?

A

without functional ciliated epithelia, bacteria is deposited in alveoli (unable to push pathogens out of trachea)

50
Q

how does BHV-1 cause immunosuppression (3 ways)

A
  • apoptosis of CD4+ cells
  • reduced expression of MHC I and MHC II molecules
  • down regulation of type 1 interferon
51
Q

what diseases/pathologies are related to BHV-1?

A

-c onjunctivitis
- IPV
- IBR
- infectious vulvovaginitis
-encephalitis
- mastitis
- abortion

52
Q

what is IBR

infectious bovine rhinotracheitis

53
Q

IBR is caused by

A

BHV-1

54
Q

what are distinctive lesions of IBR?

A

nasal lesions of numerous clusters of grayish necrotic foci on the mucous membrane of septal mucosa

eye lesions, keratitis

55
Q

when can abortions occur with IBR?

A

can occur at the same time as respiratory disease, but also up to 100 days after incubation

56
Q

in regards to IBR, _____ is a complication and not a part of the primary disease

A

pneumonia

57
Q

what are clinical signs of IBR?

A

-serous rhinitis with hyperemia and edema of mucosa

soap! (its an enveloped virus)
vaccinations

60

can cause abortion
can cause sickness
(if given at an inappropriate time)

A

naked double stranded RNA viruses with segmented genomes

68
Q

how many serogroups of rotaviruses are there? which are we concerned with as vets?

A

7 groups (A-G)
