False
reo virus genus
orthoreovirus
rotavirus
OrbiVirus (BTD, AHS & EE)
epizootiology of Orthoreovirus in birds
- mainly chicken & turkeys
- in young birds
- resistance above 10 wks of age
- V resistant
- inf PO
- shed by faeces
- Germinative inf
Orthoreovirus in birds pathogenesis
- PO (trypsin resistant)
- (trypsin sensitive strains, airborne)
- propagation in intestinal epithelial cells & bursa of fabricus)
- epithelial damage
- viraemia
- virus dissemination
- necrotic inf. foci in organs tenosynovitis and arthritis
Orthoreovirus in birds main diseases
arhritis-tenosynovitis
enteritis
hydropericardium (in geese)
resp
immunosuppression
CNS signs
Orthoreovirus in birds arthritis & tenosynovitis CS
- 4-8wks broilers, poor keeping
- lameness
- swollen tiobio-tarsal, tarso-metatarsal joint
- rupture of the m.gastrocnemius
- decreased BW (eco. loss)
(several serotypes)
Orthoreovirus in birds arthritis & tenosynovitis diagnosis
RT-PCR
Ab detection: ELISA
exp infection of day old chicks : footpad or IM
Orthoreovirus in birds arthritis & tenosynovitis prevention
vaccines: live, attenuated & inactivated
- chickens with yolk immunity : 5-7 wks
- chikens without yolk immunity: 1dy old + vacc against Marek
+ before laying period : inactivated vaccine
Runting stunting syndrome (RSS) in which animals
chicken
Poult enteritis and mortality complex syndrome (PEMS) which animals
turkey
RSS & PEMS disease
enteritis
feather problems (helicopter)
cartilage necrosis
enlarged intestines
inflammation of parenchymal organs
Orthoreoviruses in waterfowl
classical & new type (mortality higher in new type)
lethargy
lameness
kindey, liver, spleen enlarged
arthritis
Orthoreoviruses in mammals
PO/aerogenic
shed by faeces
mainly in calves (diarrhea, resp)
colostrum Ab protects up to 5 months
