MT4 - Respiratory pasteurellosis of cattle (W) Flashcards
Pasteurella bovis can cause pasteurellosis in cattle
F
- P. multocida A, (D), M. haemolytica A1, A2
Diarrhoea is the main clinical sign of bovine pasteurellosis
F
fever, anorexia, nasal/ ocular discharge , death
Overcrowding is a predisposing factor of respiratory pasteurellosis of cattle
T
- transportation
- starvation, cold, thirst
- nutrition, overcrowding
The lesions of respiratory pasteurellosis of calves are generally in the diaphragmatic lobes
F
mainly in the anterior lobes ( fibrinous pneumonia)
Dermonecrotoxin of the agents is responsible for the clinical signs of respiratory pasteurellosis of cattle
F
-A2 P. multocida A, (D)- M. haemolytica A1
Primary pasteurellosis diseases are caused by obligate pathogenic Pasteurella bacteria
F
facultatively anaerobic: they can survive with or without oxygen
Respiratory pasteurellosis occurs only among cattle above 6 months of age
F
1-3 months (endemic form)
Toxoid vaccines can be used for the prevention of respiratory pasteurellosis of cattle
T
Toxoid vaccines (M. haemolytica)
killed vaccines: (P. multocida, M. haemolytica, H. somni)
The lesions of respiratory pasteurellosis of calves are generally in the diaphragmatic lobes
F
mainly in the anterior lobes ( fibrinous pneumonia)
Pasteurella multocida can cause pasteurellosis in cattle
T
* P. multocida A, (D), M. haemolytica A1, A2
mannheimia haemolytica can cause respiratory pasteurellosis of calves
T
* P. multocida A, (D), M. haemolytica A1, A2
Mannheimia haemolytica can cause pasteurellosis in cattle
T
* P. multocida A, (D), M. haemolytica A1, A2
Respiratory pasteurellosis can occur after transport.
T
- starvation, cold, thirst
- nutrition, overcrowding
- transportation
Mannheimia haemolytica is an important agent of shipping fever
T
Leukotoxin of M. haemolytica damages the alveolar macrophages
T
M. haemolytica
- cytotoxin production–> damage of the macrophages
- production of prostaglandin, mediators
- formation of thrombi, necrosis
Interstitial pneumonia is a frequent post mortem lesion of pulmonary pasteurellosis of cattle
F
it is not a frequent PM
