Lecture 6: Canine Viruses 1 Flashcards
What is the family and subfamily of canine herpes virus
- Family: Herpesviridae
- Subfamily: Alphaherpesvirinae
List 5 common canine respiratory viruses
- Canine Influenza
- Canine Herpes virus 1
- Canine adenovirus 2
- Canine distemper virus
- Canine para influenza
Describe the pathogenesis of canine herpes virus in adults, neonates, and fetuses
- Pathogenesis:
o Adult: infect via resp/repro tract = localized infection
Quick acute infection (viremia) -> latency
o Neonate: infect via ingest/inhale in birth canal/contact/fomites
>2 week: viremia and acute local infection
< 1 week: epithelial cell replication, leukocyte associated viremia = necrotizing vasculitis or like adult infection
o Fetus: infect in utero
leukocyte associated viremia = necrotizing vasculitis
What are the clinical signs of canine herpes virus in adults and pregnant animals
o Adults; subclinical (latent), mild rhinitis, vesicular vaginitis, posthistis
o Pregnant animals: early and late term abortion, still birth
What are the clinical signs of canine herpes virus in neonatal animals - describe the histological lesions you would expect
o Neonate: eosinophilic intranuclear inclusions surrounded by clear halo and marginated chromatin = in liver/adrenal glands/lungs/spleen/kidney/lymph node
Kidney: petechiae of renal cortex, tubular necrosis,
Liver: multifocal necrosis and
Lungs: small coalescing pale foci of necrotizing interstitial pneumonia – fibrin
Eye; corneal edema/cataracts
Bran: viral nucleic acids in cerebellum and cerebrum
How to diagnose canine herpes virus (3 ways)
- Dx: virus isolated from fresh lung/liver/kidney/spleen
o Histology for intra-nuclear inclusion bodies
o Virus neutralization assay (OVC lab)
How to control/prevent canine herpes virus
- Control: no vaccine – colostrum provides passive immunity
o C-section prevent contamination at birth (may already be infection from placenta)
What family is the agent for Canine infectious hepatitis
- Family: Adenoviridae
What are the viral characteristics of agent for Canine infectious hepatitis
- Virus: non-enveloped, with pentons that have projecting fibres (allow attachment to receptors
o Virus stable in environment

Two of the organs impacted by canine adenovirus- 1 infection is
the brain and kidney. What are the mechanisms of pathogenesis
of brain and kidney lesions? (3 marks).
Brain:
- endothelial cell damage cytopathic effect due to direct viral replication
- type 3 HS due to circulating immune complexes that can deposit in blood vessels and induce vasculitis
Kidney:
- tubular epithelial cells and endothelial cells
- type 3 HS due to circulating immune complexes that can deposit in kidney tubule epithelium and impact filtration ability or deposit in blood vessels of kidney and induce vasculitis
What a type 3 HS? What are the 2 types?
- Type 3 HS: antibody/antigen complex
o Circulating – deposit in vessel walls (=vasculitis) or in kidney (= damage filtration)
o Local/Arthus rxn – attract complement = attract neutrophils = tissue damage
What does CAV1 cause
- Canine Adenovirus 1 = infectious canine hepatitis
What are the target species of CAV1
o Target: dog/coyote/fox/canid/bears – subclinical dz widespread
