Pathophysio Flashcards
Tumorous abscesses, very hard and diffusely swollen tongue
actinobacillosis
Seen primarily in cattle but also in sheep, horses, pigs, and dogs
Actinibacillosis
Pyogranulomatous Lx in soft tissues associated with the head, neck, limbs, and subcutaneous tissue
Actinobacillosis
– l o c a l i z e d , c h r o n i c , p r o g r e s s i v e ,
granulomatous abscess that involves the
mandible, maxillae, or other bony tissues
in the head
Actinomycosis
introduced via penetrating wounds of
the oral mucosa from wire or coarse hay
or sticks
Actinomycosis
hemolymphatic, multi-systemic
Anthrax
rapidly dividing bacteria produce capsule and toxins
Anthrax
toxins help the bacteria to evade the immune
system resulting in systemic infection
Anthrax
with severe bacteremia toxins enter cells of other
systems resulting in vascular shock and death
Anthrax
many affected cattle are found dead, with no
premonitory signs
Bacillary Hemoglobinuria
port-wine–colored urine is the most prominent
clinical sign
Bacillary Hemoglobinuria
organisms are ingested, pass through the wall of
the GIT, and, a ft e r g a ining a c c e s s to the
bloodstream, are deposited in muscle and other
tissues (spleen, liver, and GI tract) and may
remain dormant
Black leg
emphysematous and necrotizing myositis
Black leg
abortion is the most obvious clinical sign
Brucellosis
overall health is not impaired in uncomplicated
abortions
Brucellosis
zoonotic
Brucellosis
Ss metritis, chronic infection
Brucellosis (Brucella abortus)
Abortion may occur at a cut febrile stage
Leptospirosis ( Leptospira hardjo)
Cows that abort may die of septicemia near term. Retained placenta and metritis
Listeriosis ( Listeria monocytogenes)
ascending bacterial infection and inflammation
of the urinary tract
Bovine Cystitis and Pyelonephritis
pyuria, hematuria, stranguria
Bovine Cystitis and Pyelonephritis
organism colonize the mucosal lining of
bladder and ureters after some traumatic insult
Bovine Cystitis and Pyelonephritis
variable degree of mucopurulent endometritis
causing EED, prolonged luteal phases, irregular
estrous cycles, repeat breeding resulting to
protracted calving periods
Bovine Genital Campylobacter
chronic (cachexia), contagious granulomatous
enteritis characterized by progressive weight
loss, debilitation, and death
Bovine Paratuberculosis
