Q

Differential diagnoses? indistinguishable from what diseases? what should we do if we see this disease?

A
  • Foot-and-mouth
  • Clinically indistinguishable from:
    > BVDB, bovine papular stomatitis, blue tongue (usually not epidemic)

Q

how to diagnose vesicular stomatitis?

A
  • 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)

Q

vesicular stomatitis post mortem lesions? histo? EM?

A
  • 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

Q

vesicular stomatitis treatment

A
  • Non-specific
  • Separate affected from unaffected
  • Rest, soft feed and source fresh of water
  • Topical disinfectants and antibiotics
    > (prevent 2nd infections)
  • Cleaning and disinfection: promises, feeders, watering milking equipment
17
Q

vesicular stomatitis vaccines?

A
  • Autogenous vaccines had been used in outbreaks
  • Safety tested but not proven to be efficacious
  • DNA vaccines under investigation and testing
18
Q

public health considerations for vesicular stomatitis? human infection and symptoms?

A
  • Humans are susceptible to VSV.
  • Flu-like symptoms of approx 1
    week duration
  • Rarely cause vesicular formation
  • Gloves and safety glasses are recommended when examining or handling affected animals.
19
Q

vesicular stomatitis clinical signs in humans? incubation? treatment, recovery, morbidity?

A
  • Incubation period: 1-6 days
  • Influenza-like symptoms
    > Headache, fever, retrobulbar pain, malaise, nausea, limb and back pain, oral vesicles (rare)
  • Self-limiting disease, supportive care
  • Recovery can be prolonged
  • Death is rare
20
Q

vesicular stomatitis prevention and control?

A
  • Quarantine of affected promises
  • No animal movement
21
Q

bovine papular stomatitis
- family, genus?

A
  • Family: Poxviridae
  • Genus: Parapoxvirus
22
Q

Bovine papular stomatitis - what type of disease and in what animals? characteristic lesions? importance?

A
  • Mild viral disease of young cattle
  • Clinically characterized by papules on the muzzle, inside the nostril and in the oral cavity
  • Minor importance but could serve as a portal entry for 2nd bacterial infections
  • Important differential diagnosis of erosive and vesicular viral diseases of the alimentary tract of cattle
23
Q

what animals are generally affected by bovine papular stomatitis? morbidity?

A
  • Young animals
  • 2 weeks-2 years of age
  • Morbidity close to 100%
24
Q

bovine papular stomatitis transmission? associated with what?

A
  • Direct contact with latently infected animals
  • Direct contact with diseased animals
  • Direct contact with contaminated food and water
  • Immunosuppressive situations
  • Associated with parasitism, IBR, BVD, etc.
25
Q

  • Muzzle
  • Hard palate
  • Esophagus
  • Rumen
26
