Picoronaviruses and Calciviruses Flashcards
calcivirus general properties
- pos ss RNA
- cause acute dx may persist but dx will be acute
- non enveloped
calciviruses replication
- can come in w/ mrna that can be instantly translated
important picoronaviruses
- foot-and-moutn dx
- swine vesicular dx
- Seneca valley virus
- enterovirus encephalomyelitis of pigs
- avain encephalomyelitis
picoronaviruses general properties
- pos ss RNA
- cause acute dx may persist but dx will be acute
- non enveloped
- small virus
- 6 genera, many dnt cause significant dx
picoronavirus replicatoin
- can come in w/ mrna that can be instantly translated
important calciviruses
- vesicular exanthema of swine
- feline calcivirus
- rabbit hemorrhagic dx virus
foot and mouth dx general characteristics
- highly contagious
- 7 serovars w/ many serotypes and no cross-protection btwn them
- v stable
- REPORTABLE
foot-and-mount dx affects who
- cloven-hoofed animals (pigs, cows, sheep)
foot and mouth dx location
- scattered across world, places have this as endemic dx
- NOT in us
economic effects foot and mouth dx direct costs
- loss income farmers and producers
- costs to eradicate
- can cost billions
economic effects foot and mouth dx indirect costs
- meat export shut down
- livestock exports shutdown
- tourism
- consumer fear (although no actual risk ot us if we eat animals infected with this)
concerns regarding foot and mouth dx
- can be Brough into country on suitcase and this is endemic in countries on our watch list so need to be v careful
ways to handle foot and mouth
- slaughter all potential carrires
- South America control in face of endemic situation w/ vac and keep it contained this may be better way to go
foot and mouth dx transmission
- resp aerosols
- feeding of infected animal products
- mechanical transmission (boots, hands ect.)
- artificial insemination
- contaminated biologicals (hormones)
foot and mouth dx infects what
infects oral mucosa
epidemiological role sheep and goats foot and mouth dx
- maintanence
foot and mouth disease virus persists in what sheep and voats
- pharyngeal tissue (4-6 months)
epidemiological role pigs foot and mouth dx
- amplifiers
foot and mouth dx virus persists in what in pigs
no viral persistence
epidemiological role cattle foot and mouth dx
indicators
foot and mouth dx virus persists in what in cattle
pharyngeal tissue 6-24 months
foot in mouth dx virus pathogenesis
- aerosolized fmdv -> primary infection of pharyngeal epithelial tissues -> spread to regional lns -> viremia -> spread to secondary virus replication sites in cornfield epithelia -> skin, tongue, mouth -> vesiculation -> release large quantities of virus from vesicular fluid into saliva and envionrment
foot and mouth dx transmssibility
all will get infected in a population, this spreads v fast then virus = secreted 24hrs b4 signs start to appear
foot and mouth dx incubation length
short
foot and mouth morbidity and mortablity
- morbidity= 100% in susceptible pop
- mortality is low
foot and mouth dx recovery
recovery w/ development of neutralizing antibodies but impact on production animals = long lasting
foot and mouth dx virus excretion
- found in all secretions and excretions of infected animals (ruptured vesicles on feet, saliva/ nasal discharge, mouth vesicles, breath, desquamated skin, urine/ feces/ vaginal discharge/ aborted fetuses/ embryo washings, milk, semen)
foot and mouth dx general signs
- vesicles and erosions mouth, nares, muzzle/ snout, feet, teat
- excessive salivation (bc ulcers in mouth)
- lameness, reluctance to move (vesicles in interdigital space)
cattle foot and mouth dx addition signs
- drop in milk yield (before other signs)
- oral lesions -> drooling and salivation
- hoof lesions = in interdigital space
- teat lesions
pigs foot and mouth dx clinical signs
- lameness (usually severe on hard floors, less so on pasture)
- death in unweaned piglets bc myocarditis
sheep foot and mouth dx clinical signs
- mild
- lameness
- death young lambs bc myocarditis
- bc signs mild w/ hard to find lesions sheep aren’t animals that make you find foot and mouth but they are ones you check once you find in cows/ pigs ect.
drooling cattle means what
- can be foot and mouth but can be a lot of things so dont jump to that but do check for vesicles
pig foot and mouth necropsy
- piglets focal areas myocarditis -> tiger striping
diagnosis foot and mouth dx
- clinical signs
- virus isolation and id
- detection antigen or nucleic acid
- complement fixation
- ELISA and virus neutralization
- REPORTABLE
- LAB SAMPLES SENT UNDER SECURE CONDITIONS TO AUTHORIZED LAB
differential diagnosis vesicular dx pigs
- vesicular stomatitis
- swine vesicular dx
- Seneca valley virus
- foot rot
- chemical and thermal burns
differential diagnosis vesicular dx cattle
- foot and mouth dx
- vsv
- infectious bovine rhinotracheitis
- bovine viral d+
- malignant catarrhal fever
- blue tongue
prevention and control foot and mouth dx
- infected or suspected or known in contact animals slaughtered
- ring vac around infected farm (with correct serotype)
- strict control movement humans and animals from infected premises
- disinfection and decontamination
