PED (Porcine epidemic diarrhea)
- not related to any other member of the Coronaviridae.
- virus persists in consecutive litters of pigs after weaning and after they lose their immunity from antibody in the milk
- pathogenesis and immune mechanisms are similar to those reported for TGE
- Oral infection results in viral replication in the epithelial cells of the small intestinal villi.
- Cells on colonic villi also become infected.
- No other tissue tropisms have been shown.
- Virus is excreted in the feces.
a zoonotic disease affecting a broad range of species. Naturally occurring infections can cause illnesses that range from an acute, highly fatal form to a less acute and less serious clinical illness that can also be fatal.
Anthrax
Which of the following species is most likely to develop acute fatal disease with anthrax infection?
Cattle
Infection in cattle and wild herbivores produces an abrupt fever followed by rapid decline and sudden death. Often, the course of disease is not observed, and animals are found dead on pasture. Sheep are also highly susceptible to anthrax. Dogs (B), humans (C), and pigs (D) are more resistant and usually develop a more mild and chronic form of illness that is often amenable to postexposure antibiotic treatment.
Anthrax is controlled in endemic areas through a variety of measures that include annual vaccination, rapid detection and reporting, treatment of exposed asymptomatic animals, and burning or burial of suspected and confirmed cases. Which of these measures, if used alone, would most effectively prevent cases of anthrax disease?
A. Annual vaccination
B. Rapid detection and reporting
C. Treatment of asymptomatic animals
D. Burning or burial of suspect and confirmed cases
A. Annual vaccination
Annual vaccination of all grazing animals in endemic areas is the most effective measure to prevent disease outbreaks. The other measures (B, C, D) are control measures important to minimize impact during an outbreak. Treatment of asymptomatic, exposed animals (C) is with a 7- to 10-day course of antibiotics followed by vaccination.
