MT4 - Pasteurellosis of swine and rabbits (W) Flashcards
Rabbit pasteurellosis is a generalised disease
T
affecting multiple organs and systems in rabbits. It commonly presents with respiratory symptoms, but it can also affect other organs such as the liver, spleen, and reproductive tract.
Pasteurella multocida A and D strains can cause pasteurellosis in rabbit
T
P. multocida A (D, F)
Clinical signs of pasteurellosis in rabbits are most severe in new-born animals
F
The agent of rabbit pasteurellosis can cause septicaemia.
T
- nasal discharge
- conjunctivitis
- laboured breath
- septicaemia
- otitis media (CNS)
- abscesses (sub cutaneous)
Nasal discharge is a typical clinical sign of rabbit pasteurellosis.
T
- nasal discharge
- conjunctivitis
- laboured breath
- septicaemia
- otitis media (CNS)
- abscesses (sub cutaneous)
Subcutaneous abscesses can be seen in the case of rabbit pasteurellosis
T
Pathology:
- purulent bronchopneumonia
- otitis media/interna
- abscesses
- pyometra, orchitis
Otitis media can be a clinical sign of rabbit pasteurellosis
T
- nasal discharge
- conjunctivitis
- laboured breath
- septicaemia
- otitis media (CNS)
- abscesses (sub cutaneous)
Rabbit pasteurellosis causes only respiratory clinical signs.
F
SEPTICEMIA
rabbit pasteurellosis is more frequent in large scale farms than in small ones
T
Mannheimia haemolytica causes rabbit pasteurellosis:
F
P. multocida A (D, F)
mixed infection is possible: S. aureus, B. bronchiseptica
Pasteurellosis is limited to the respiratory tract in rabbits.
F
Bibersteinia trehalosi is the causative agent pasteurellosis of rabbits.
F
P. multocida A (D, F)
mixed infection is possible: S. aureus, B. bronchiseptica
Serous pneumonia is typical in the case of pasteurellosis of rabbits
F
purulent bronchopneumonia
Pasteurellosis is limited to the respiratory track in rabbits
F
replication in lungs: bronchopneumonia, conjunctivitis
Neurologic signs can be seen in the case of pasteurellosis of rabbits
T
otitis media (CNS)
Pasteurellosis is common in suckling rabbits
F
- first cases in 4–5-week-old rabbits
- mainly in 2–3-month-old animals
The poor quality of the air can predispose to rabbit pasteurellosis
T
predisposing factors:
- humid, cold environment
- NH3
- mixing, overcrowding
Purulent bronchopneumonia is a frequent post mortem lesion of rabbit pasteurellosis
T
Pathology:
* purulent bronchopneumonia
* otitis media/interna
* abscesses
* pyometra, orchitis
Fibrinous pneumonia can be seen during necropsy in case of pasteurellosis in rabbit.
F
Pathology:
- purulent bronchopneumonia
- otitis media/interna
- abscesses
- pyometra, orchitis
Pasteurellosis in rabbit causes high amount of nasal discharge
T
Clinical signs:
- nasal discharge
- conjunctivitis
- laboured breath
- septicaemia
- otitis media (CNS)
- abscesses (sub cutaneous)
Pasteurellosis in rabbit is caused by P. multocida A
T
P. multocida A (D, F)
mixed infection is possible: S. aureus, B. bronchiseptica
Mycoplasmas predispose pigs to pulmonary pasteurellosis.
T
predisposing factors
- non infective
- management, nutrition
- stress, overcrowding, mixing
infective:
- mycoplasma, A. pleuropneumoniae
- circovirus, PRRS, Aujeszky-disease
- classical swine fever, African swine fever, swine influenza
Pulmonary pasteurellosis is more frequent in suckling piglets than in adults
F
Bordetella bronchiseptica predisposes pigs to pulmonary pasteurellosis
F
mycoplasma, A. pleuropneumoniae
Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae predisposes pigs to pulmonary pasteurellosis
T
mycoplasma, A. pleuropneumoniae
Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae of pigs can be chronic
T
Pasteurella multocida can cause haemorrhagic septicaemia in pigs
T
Pulmonary pasteurellosis of pigs is mainly caused by Mannheimia hemolytica
F
P. multocida A, (P. multocida D)
respiratory pasteurellosis of pigs is generally an acute, generalized disease
F
respiratory pasteurellosis may present as chronic respiratory disease, with pigs exhibiting persistent coughing, nasal discharge, and reduced growth rates over an extended period.
Vaccines can prevent pneumonia of swine caused by pasteurella
F
No vaccines
prevention of predisposing factors
P. multocida A is causative agent of pneumonia caused by pasteurellosis in swine
T
Dermonecrotoxin of Bordetella bronchiseptica causes lesions in the nasal cavity and on the skin of pigs
