Mucosal disease without diarrhea Flashcards
mucosal diseases without diarrhea
Foot and Mouth
Vesicular Stomatitis
Bovine papular stomatitis
foot and mouth disease type of virus, genetic material
- Aphthovirus (vesicle)
- Family: Picornaviridae
- Small single strand RNA positive sense
FMD serotypes? cross protection?
Serotypes (7 distinct serotypes)
* A, O, C, Asia 1, Southern African
territories (SAT) 1, 2, & 3
* Not cross protection between subtypes
FMD in Canada - is it here? outbreaks? concerns?
- The last outbreak occurred in Saskatchewan in 1952
- Illegally imported contaminated meat
- Canada is FMD free
> By the Office
FMD host
- Affects cloven-hoofed animals
- Artiodactyla:
> Cattle, buffalo, swine, sheep, goats, camelids, deer, antelope - Other species:
> Elephant, fox, rat, mouse, capybaras, hedgehog
FMD Morbidity/ Mortality
Morbidity
* 100% in susceptible animal population
* In FMD-free areas (Great Britain, the United States, Canada, Mexico, Japan, New Zealand, and Australia)
<><>
Mortality less than 1% (0-15%)
* Higher in young animals and highly virulent virus strains
general reaction to finding an FMD positive animal
- Animals generally destroyed to prevent spread
FMD pathogenesis
- Pharyngeal and digestive mucosa infection and replication > replication in the stratum spinosum
- > spreads locally and enters circulation > 2- 21 days fever > vesicle formation > mouth and rumen pillars
- > skeletal and cardiac muscle degeneration (Zenker’s necrosis)
- Separation of superficial from basal epithelium and fill with fluid, slough of tissue
Animal Transmission of FMD? reservoirs? effectiveness of pasteurization?
- Respiratory aerosols
> Proper temperature and humidity
> Survives 1-2 days in human respiratory tract - Direct contact
- Ingestion of infected animal
parts/products
> AI, biologicals, hormones - Indirect contact via fomites
> Shoes, tires, equipment. - African Cape buffalos can be lifelong carriers
- Virus can survive pasteurization
what type of host of FMD are sheep/goats, pigs, and cattle? are they carriers and for how long?
sheep/goats - maintenance hosts, carriers in pharyngeal tissues 4-6 months
pigs - amplifiers, not carriers
cattle - indicators, carriers in pharyngeal tissue for 6-24 months
Human FMD? Transmission?
- Very rarely develop mild clinical signs
- Type O, C, rarely A
- Act as a transmitter to animals
> Harbor virus in respiratory tract for 1-2
days
> Contaminated boots, clothing, vehicles
> Spread to susceptible animals - Ingestion of unprocessed milk or dairy products from infected animals
FMD incubation period and general clinical signs?Recovery period?
- Incubation period: 2-12 days
- Fever and vesicles
> Feet, mouth, nares, muzzle, teats
> Progress to erosions - Abortion
- Death in young animals
- Recover in two weeks unless secondary infections arise
FMD clinical signs in cattle
Oral lesions
* Vesicles on tongue, dental pad, gums, soft palate, nostrils, muzzle
* Excess salivation, drooling, serous nasal discharge
Teat lesions
* Decreased milk production
Hoof lesions
* Interdigital space
* Coronary band
* Lameness
* Reluctant to move
<><>
Oral & hoof lesions, salivation, drooling, lameness, abortions, death in young animals, “panters”; Disease Indicators
FMD clinical signs in pigs
Hoof lesions
* More severe than in cattle
* Coronary band, heel, interdigital space
* Lameness
<><>
* Snout vesicles
<><>
Oral vesicles less common
* Drooling is rare
<><>
<><>
Severe hoof lesions, hoof sloughing, snout vesicles, less severe oral lesions: Amplifying Hosts
FMD clinical signs in sheep and goats? consequence?
Mild, if any, signs
* Fever
*Oral lesions
* Lameness
<><>
*Makes diagnosis and prevention of spread difficult
<><>
<><>
Mild signs if any; Maintenance Hosts
