Q

Describe the pathogenesis of canine herpes virus in adults, neonates, and fetuses

A
  • 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

Q

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).

A

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

Q

What a type 3 HS? What are the 2 types?

A
  • 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

16
Q

What age is susceptible to CAV1

A

o Time: infection clinically significant <1yr (but unvx = can get any age)

17
Q

How is CAV 1 transmitted

A

o Transmit: fomites/oronasal maybe ecto-parasite (not aerosol)
 Virus excreted acutely (5-10day) in saliva/feces/resp mucus and chronically in urine (6-9 moths after)

18
Q

What is the pathogenesis of CAV1

A

o Pathogenesis: viral ingestion > tonsil cervical LN/thoracic duct/blood in 5 days
 Viral replication in cells = cytopathic effect: hepatocyte (acute hepatitis)/renal tubule (nephritis)/vascular endothelium (hemorrhage/DIC)
 Antibody production = complex formation = circulating (renal damage) and local (corneal edema/opacity type 3 HS
 Both types of pathogenesis can affect brain

19
Q

What are the clinical signs, bloodwork, and histopath lesions of CAV1

A

o Clinically: lethargy/pale MM/tender abdomen/icteric/vomiting

 BW: pyrexia/leukopenia/lymphocytosis/neutrophilia/high ALP/coagulopathy/proteinuria/neutralizing Ig

 blue eyes (anterior uveitis/corneal edema/opacity – will resolve spontaneously)
 Multifocal lung hemorrhage
 Thickened/enlarged gallbladder
 Hemorrhagic lymph nodes
 Segmental hemorrhagic enteritis
 Oral mucosal hemorrhage
 Cerebral hemorrhage
 Large/friable/yellow/petechiae liver – basophilic intranuclear inclusionis surrounded by clear zone

20
Q

How to diagnose CAV1

A

o Dx: hematological results, serology, virus isolation/IF or histopath (if postmortem)

21
Q

How to control/prevent CAV1

A

o Control: passive immunity (colostrum) – 5-7 weeks (14-16 week gone)
 Vaccine: killed vaccine – require frequent doses
* Modified live: 3-5 year protection – can localize in kidney = shed in urine or cause blue eye – IM/SC
* Contain either CAV1 or 2 not both

22
Q

25
Q

What are the features (family/type) of the viruses causing CAV2

A

o Virus: Adenoviridae (dsDNA) or Paramyxoviridae (-ssRNA)

26
Q

how is CAV2 transmitted

A

o Transmit: ocular/resp secretions – aerosols/direct/fomite = very contagious
 Shed 8-10 day post infection (bordatella shed = 3 months)

27
Q

What are the clinical signs of CAV2

A

o Clincically:
 Uncomplicated: harsh dry cough/watery nasal discharge/pharyngitis/tonsiltis
* Virus rerplicate in resp epithelium
* Self limiting – reduce stress/exercise (mild 1-2 wk, severe 3-4 wk)

 Complicated: lethargy/fever/anorexia/dry hacking honking cough/gagging
* Young unvx puppies/immunocompromised/old
* Viirrus and bacteria replicate in resp epithelium = can’t generate Ig response = viremia/2 bacterial infection

28
Q

How to control CAV2

A

o Control: modified live vx: DAPPV (distemper/adenovirus/parainfluenza/parvo) – also prevent against CAV1
 Modified live parainflenza avirulent intranasal bordatella vx

29
Q

A
  • Canine influenza
    o Family: Orthomyxoviridae
    o Subtype: H3N8 and H3N2
30

How did canine influenza develop

A

o Antigenic shift: related to equine influenza (mutated into the canine population)

31
Q

How to control canine influenza

A

o Control: monovalent/bivalent vx for H3N8/H3N2 – will reduce severity/duration not prevent infection
