Q

What is the pathogenesis for Listeriosis?

A

Environmental and nutrional stress

Requires wound entry

Erupting teeth

Rootlet trigeminal > intra-axonal migration > brainstem = havoc

The constant cel mvt evades phagocytosis, making it difficult to tx.

A

c. Commensal bacT of URT and urogenital tract in many mammals

20

Which of the following is true about TEME?

a. migrates through unprotected endothelial cells
b. Results in drastic influx of albumin and reduced transendothelial electrical resistance
c. Decreased paracellular permeability of vascular endothelial cells-neuro signs
d. death do to subsequent epithelial cell apoptosis

A

c. somnolence

22
Q

Farmer comes to you with his herd being affected by a mysterious bug. Cows are fine one day and the next he finds them dead. There a few showing signs of ataxia and weakness and closed to partially closed eyelids.

Whats your top DDx?

How do you Dx to confirm your suspicions?

A

TEME

CSF: cellular changes relfective of bacT inf and evidence of hemorrhage.

Confirm at necropsy

23
Q

How do you treat the cows that are showing clinical signs of TEME?

A

Attempt early in Dz: Abx with gram - spectrumshould be tried

Down animals: euthanize. (a down animal is a dead animal especially with FA)

Can prevent with Vax!

24
Q

a. Focal myocarditis due to H. somni can be an appreciable source of death loss
b. Gross lesions are readily detected in affected hearts
c. Acute, subacute, and chronic fatal h. somni myocarditis can produce single deaths over time.

d. Plenty of CNS signs
e. Tx is difficult and grave px

A

b. brain abcesses are common in cattle

RARE

26
Q

A

Hematogenous origin: Rete mirabile, cavernous sinus

Dehorning complication

Head butting

Plenty of CNS signs: blindness, pupillary dysfx, nystagmus, dysphagia, facial paralysis, circling, head tilt

27

c. thiamine cofactor in neuronal actyl-CoA
d. rumen microbes needed for thiamine production
e. Ruminants rely on diet

A

b. Dysfx of Na-K atp pump
d. rumen microbes needed for thiamine production

28
Q

Which of the following is False about Polio?

a. sulfer and sulfates metabolize to toxic sulfide ions
b. Grain diets promote HCO3 gas
c. Sulfer interferes with oxidative processes of mitochondria, leading to depletion of ATP
d. H2S likes brain because of high lipid content
e. Found in drinking water, ,olasses, forage, urine acidifiers, and mineral supplements and some plants.

A

b. Grain diets promote HCO3 gas

29
Q

Which of the following Polio signs are False?

a. CNS signs develop slowly
b. Leads to recumbency and opisthotonus, eventually death
c. Affects all ages, most common in growing animals.

A

a. CNS signs develop slowly

RAPIDLY

30
Q

What are the main CS for polio?

A

Central blindness

Dorsomedial strabismus

Opisthotonus

Convulsions

31
Q

How do you Dx polio?

A

Mostly based on CS and response to Tx

can test food/water for H2S

<1000 ppm in water, >4000ppm in diet, >10000ppm in rumen gas indicates toxic levels

32
Q

How do you tx Polio?

A

Thiamine 10mg/kg q 6hr IV or IM until improvement, then q 12 hrs for 48 hrs.

Increase forage add glucogenic precursors.

33
Q

Which of the following is true about Nervous Ketosis?

a. multifactorial respiratory derangement
b. Frequently seen with anorexia and drop in milk production
c. More common than previously thought.

A

b. Frequently seen with anorexia and drop in milk production

34
Q

How can you tx nervous ketosis?

A

IV glucose 500ml of 50% dextrose once

Oral propylene glycol (2 formulations)

propylene glycol is absorbed from the rumen intact and metabolized to glucose in liver
