Q

Bovine RSV

A

Affects young beef/dairy cattle

  • component of bovine respiratory disease complex due to frequency of occurrence, predilection for lower respiratory tract, ability to predispose respiratory tract to secondary bacterial infection
  • high morbidity, up to 20% fatality rate

  • large cats
  • phocine and dolpins
19
Q

Factors affecting pathogenesis

A
  • virus strain
  • age of host
  • host immune status/competence
20
Q

Canine distemper diagnosis

A
  • hematology: acute cases
  • cytology: acute cases
  • viral isolation
  • PCR
  • CSF analysis
  • serology (ELISA)
  • samples from serum, blood smear, conjunctival smear
21
Q

Which diagnostic techniques are complicated by canine distemper vaccine?

A

ELISA

  • IgM persist in dogs with distemper for 5 weeks to 3 months
  • IgM lasts for 3 weeks after vaccination
22
Q

Presence of both IgM and IgG, but negative blood smear and conjunctival smear

A

CNS distemper or successful vaccination in 3 weeks

23
Q

Presence of IgG, but negative for IgM, blood and conjunctival smear

A

Not infected with CDV, protected by vaccination or previous infection

24
Q

Presence of IgM, but negative to IgG, blood and conjunctival smear

A

Early vaccine titer, not disease

- rare

25
Q

Positive blood smear, possible positive conjunctival smear, no signs of IgM or IgG

A

Very early acute CDV (rare)

26
Q

No signs of IgM, IgG, negative blood smear and conjunctival smear

A

No infection, no protection

27
Q

New Castle Disease

A

APMV-1 (family paramyxoviridae)

  • lentogenic, mesogenic, velogenic
  • neurotrophic, viscerotropic
28
Q

Exotic Newcastle Disease

A

US definition for velogenic viscerotropic strains of Newcastle

29
Q

Respiratory and neurological disease in horses

30
Q

What are 3 new viruses carried by fruit bats?

A
  • hendra
  • nipah
  • menangle
31
Q

Nipah virus

A

Primarily affects adult males with swine contact

  • swine: severe respiratory disease, transmitted by movement of infected pigs
  • human: febrile encephalitis, high mortality
  • no vaccine available
32
Q

Reservoir

A
  • flying foxes (fruit bats) –> are not affected
  • virus found in urine and partially eaten fruit
  • no known secondary host
