Mucosal disease without diarrhea pt 2 Flashcards
vesicular stomatitis - what virus, genus, genetics?
- Vesicular Viral Disease
- Family: Rhabdovirus (bullet-shaped)
- Genus: Vesiculovirus
- Enveloped, single-strand negative sense RNA virus
- Several serotypes
vesiculat stomatitis affects what species
- Natural infection: cattle, horses, swine and llamas
<><> - Experimental: opossum, rats and lab animals (rabbits, ferrets, mice, hamsters, etc)
four types of vesicular stomatitis? which are in USA? cross immmunity?
Four distinct viruses recognized:
* VS Indiana (formerly called Indiana 1),
* VS New Jersey
* Alagoas virus (formerly called Indiana 3)
* Cocal virus (formerly called Indiana 2)
<><>
* Indiana 1 and New Jersey occur in the United States.
* Viral strains vary in virulence
<><>
* No cross immunity between types
vesicular stomatitis morbidity and mortality
- Morbidity 90%
> Variable with conditions
> Sporadic infection in 5-10% of herd - Mortality rate low
> Death in young not as common
as for FMD
vesicular stomatitis transmission
- Insects (Vectors)
- Play a major role, both hematophagous and
non-blood feeding insects
> Sandflies
> Blackflies
> Seasonal outbreaks - Mechanical transmission
- Contact
> Direct (Infected animals): oral mucosa
> Indirect (Contaminated objects): milking machine
vesicular stomatitis human transmission
- Contact with infected tissues, fluid from lesions, saliva
- Vector injection
> Blackfly, sandfly - Aerosol transmission in a laboratory setting
vesicular stomatits clinical signs
- Fever
- Oral lesions (ulcers)
> Salivation and reluctance to eat - Erosions or gums and tongue
- Ulcer on teats, interdigital
space & coronary band - Decrease in milk production
- Most infections are subclinical
vesicular stomatitis incubation period
3-5 days
vesicular stomatitis has fever and vesicles that resemble
FMD
do horses get affected by vesicualr stomatitis?
Horses severely affected
* Oral lesions
> Drooling, chomping, mouth rubbing, lameness
* Coronary band lesions
<><>
Most severe with oral and coronary band vesicles, drooling, rub mouths on objects, lameness
vesicular stomatitis clinical signs in cattle and pigs? where do vesicles appear? recovery time?
- Vesicles: oral, mammary gland, coronary band, interdigital region
- Salivation, lameness
- Vesicles isolate to one area of
body - Mouth or feet
- Recover within 2 weeks
<><>
Vesicles in oral cavity, mammary glands, coronary bands, interdigital space
sheep and goats clinical signs of vesicular stomatits?
Rarely show signs
Differential diagnoses? indistinguishable from what diseases? what should we do if we see this disease?
- Foot-and-mouth
- Clinically indistinguishable from:
> BVDB, bovine papular stomatitis, blue tongue (usually not epidemic)
> Toxins, bristle grass, etc.
Reportable disease
how to diagnose vesicular stomatitis?
- Viral culture
- RT-PCR
- immuno- fluorescence
- complement fixation tests
- antigen-capture ELISA.
- Antigen-capture ELISA can also be used for serotyping.
- Electron microscopy: distinguishing VSV from other viruses (FMD virus)
vesicular stomatitis post mortem lesions? histo? EM?
- Death is rare
> (usually attributed to 2nd infections: mastitis,
pneumonia) - Erosive, ulcerative lesions
> Oral cavity, teats, coronary band - Histology
> Degeneration of epithelial cells - Electronmicroscopy
> Virus in fresh lesions, vesicular fluid
