Parvoviridae Flashcards
Enveloped or Nonenveloped?
Nonenveloped
Virion capsid has ____ protein subunits with a T number of ___
60, 1
DNA of parvoviridae
single stranded, linear
Disinfection is difficult because
resists 60C for 60 min and PH 3-9
Replication occurs
in the nucleus
infection leads to
large intranuclear inclusion bodies
Subfamily that infects insects
Densovirinae
Subfamily that infects vertebrates
Parvovirinae
Genera of parvovirnae
Parvovirus Erythovirus Bocavirus Dependovirus Amdovirus
Parvovirus replication
Only in cells that pass through the mitotic S phase
actively dividing cells
Erythrovirus
“fifth disease, slap cheek rash”
replicate autonomously
Humans (parvovirus B19)- rash, anemia, arthritis
Dependovirus
do not cause disease
unable to replicate without helper viruses (usually adenovirus)
goose and duck parvovirus
sometimes bovine parvovirus 2
Bocavirus
Contain a 3rd Open Reading Frame
infect GI and respiratory
Humans, dogs, cattle
Feline parvovirus (panleukopenia) general
Feline distemper
Feline infectious enteritis
Highly contagious, often fatal
FPV epidemiology
Ubiquitous in environment
unvaccinated kittens are protected until 3 mon.
can be subclinical
shed in urine and feces for 6 weeks after recovery
FPV transmission
Infected oro-nasally
In-utero transmission
mechanical transmission by flies
FPV pathogenesis
enter oropharynx, replicate in pharyngeal lymphoid tissue
viremia
other organs from blood
Hallmark of FPV
severe leukopenia
affects WBC in circulation and lymphoid organs (become destroyed)
thrombocytopenia due to bone marrow damage
FPV damage to GI
crypts cells not absorptive cells
blunt villi, diarrhea
In Utero FPV
death, abortion, mummified fetuses
near end of gestation- live kittens with neural tissue damage, variable effects
FPV CNS
optic nerve and retina damage
cerebellar hypoplasia if cats are infected 2 weeks before or after birth
FPV DIC
Kittens get secondary bacT infection –> gram negative LPS is released –> causes coagulation factors to go into overdrive —> DIC –> hemorrhage
FPV clinical signs
diarrhea lymphopenia neutropenia anemia abortion cerebellar ataxia depression rough coat vomiting sever dehydration
Incubation of FPV
2-10 days
