Parvoviruses and circoviruses Flashcards
parvovirus structure
- small single stranded DNA pos or neg sense
- non-enveloped
- icosahedral capsid
parvovirus replication where
- in nucleus of diving cells
parvovirus inclusions bodies
large intranuc inclusion bodies
parvovirus replication steps
ssdna converted by cell dna pol -> dsdna -> template for mrna formation by cell rna pol -> translation into proteins which can be nonstructural then make new ssdna strains based on dsdna -> capsid formed from structural proteins -> together form newly formed viron
parvovirus infects what hosts broadly
- host range infect vertebrates and invertebrates
parvovirus properties
- v stable in environment bc non-enveloped
- hemagglutinate rbcs
parvovirus pathogenesis
- requirement for replicating cells so v destructive in newborn/ young animals
parvoviruses entry routes
- oral
- fomites
- in utero
parvovirus infection length
- acute infection
- some can persist for long time despite robust host immune response
carnivore parvoviruses
- canine parvovirus (CPV)
- feline panleukopenia virus (FPV)
- these are variants of same virus ; antigenic and host range variations occur
- can also -> dx in wild carnivores
canine parvo virus caused by what and causes what
- canine parvovirus 2
- important cause infectious d+ domestic and wild canids
canine parvovirus incidence
- declined a lot bc of vac
carnivore parvovirus transmission
virus- contaminated feces
carnivore parvovirus dx in who and syndromes
- dx in growing puppies
- enteritis syndrome
- myocarditis syndrome
enteritis syndrome
- v+/ bloody d+/ death
myocarditis syndrome
- acute heart failure
- sudden puppy death
feline panleukopenia contagious/ seen in who
- highly contagious
- in kittens but cats all ages susceptible
feline panleukopenia replication
oral entry -> initial replication in pharyngeal lymphoid tissue -> cell-free and associated viremia -> spread to organ
feline panleukopenia signs
- servere leukopenia (all types abcs destroyed including those in lymphoid organs)
feline panleukopenia forms
- peracute form
- acute form
- in-utero infection
feline panleukopenia peracute form
high fever -> death
feline panleukopenia acute form
fever -> v+/ bloody d+
feline panleukopenia in-utero infection
cerebellar hypoplasia/ atrophy
feline panleukopenia diagnosis
- Elisa look for viral antigens in feces
- virus isolation need to stain for viral antingens
- hemagglutination inhibition look for antibodies
feline panleukopenia who is most susceptible
- young animals = waning maternal antibody titers
feline panleukopenia vac
protective (modified live form)
feline panleukopenia control
virus inactivated by diluted hypochlorite
porcine parvoviruses distribution
- worldwide
- enzootic in many herds
porcine parvoviruses incidence
dec bc vaccination
porcine parvovirus in gilts
- majority gilts = infected naturally = immune before farrowed -> antibodies decline = become highly susceptible
- problem if this occurs when giving brith
porcine parvovirus boars
- important for spread of virus shed via semen
largest impact porcine parvovirus
- infection of pregnant gilts and sows
what dictates clinical signs porcine parvovirus and what are those signs
- state of gestation when infected = dictates clinical signs
- clinical signs = SMEDI
- S- stillbirth
- M- mummification
- ED- embryonic death
- I- infertility
porcine parvovirus pathogenesis
- 15 days for virus to reach fetus after mom infected
- infection < 30 days after conception: fetus dies and resorbs -> return to oestrus 3-8 weeks after conception
- infection 30-70 days after conception -> severely affected fetuses die -> sm litter w/ mummified fetuses
- infection > 70 days after conception -> less severely affected fetuses mount immune response -> weak piglets
- virus replicates in lymphoid tissues, salivary gland, and other organs
- causes persistent infection w/ chronic shedding
porcine parvoviruses clinical signs in who
- clinical signs in fetuses only
- others asymptomatic
- severe dx if confection with porcine circovirus type-2
porcine parvovirus diagnosis
= immunofluorescence for viral antigen in fetal tissues
- HAI
- PCR shows dna presence only which w/ chronically persistently infected animals doesn’t tell you iff issue you’re dealing with is caused. by that virus
- serology = limited value; must do paired
porcine parvovirus control
- vac
- modified live ok in pregnant animals
equine parvovirus ->
- aborption
- synovitis
- found in CSF
equine parvovirus-hepatitis (EpPV-H)
- most likely cause thriller’s dx -> serum hepatitis
- replicates in hepatocytes
equine parvovirus hepatitis (EpPV-H) spread
some natural transmission possible but we don’t know route
what is strange about equineparvovirus hepatitis replication
replicates in hepatocytes = terminally differentiated cells when normally Parvo replicates in rapidly replicating cells
additional parvoviruses to know
- Aleutian mink disease virus
- goose and duck parvovirus
- rodent parvovirus
Aleutian mink dx virus affects who -> what
- minks, skunks, ferrets
- splenomegaly, glomerulonephritis, arteritis, death
goose and duck parvovirus what kind of virus what is outcome
- adeno-associated virus (need helper virus to effectively replicate)
- lethal dx goslings and ducklings
rodent parvovirus found where, significance, see what
- enzootic infections in rodent colonies
- usually subclinical infections but can have cofounding effect on research outcomes
rodent parvovirus control
- biosafetly
- eliminate infected populations
maternal antibodies with parvoviruses
- maternal abs = protective to young but interfere w/ vac
circoviruses structure
- small
- single stranded dna
- icosahedral capsid
- non-enveloped
circovirus replication where; leads to what
- replication in nucleus of divine cells (young animals = severely effected)
- -> large intranuclear inclusion bodies
circovirus replication general steps
binding receptor on cell surface -> entry via receptor mediated endocytosis -> release ssdna in nucleus -> conversion ds dna using cell dna pol -> substrate to make viral mRNA ->
viral proteins structural or non-structural
-> new single stranded dna made
both of above made-> combination structural proteins and new single stranded dna -> release
