Porcine viruses (lecture 6) Flashcards
What are the four viral causes of swine enteritis
- rotavirus
- transmissible gastroenteric virus
- porcine epidemic diarrhea virus
- delta coronavirus
sudden outbreaks of scour involving large numbers of litters with acute diarrhea and high mortality suggest
transmissible gastroenteritis, porcine epidemic diarrhea, and delta corona virus associated diarrhea
what would you suspect is the cause of diarrhea that comes in waves in individual litters within the second half of lactation
rotavirus
PED and TGEV are _____ viruses
corona
describe the mortality of PED in regards to piglet age
suckling piglet- 100%
piglets older than 10 days- 10%
adults and fattening pigs- less than 5%
describe clinical manifestations of PED
diarrhea, vomiting, dehydration, metabolic acidosis
what is the incubation period of PED
3-4 days
how do you dx PED
fresh sample (feces, oral fluids, serum) then ID the agent via RT-PCR, ELISA, virus isolation (difficult)
or serological test- ELISA, immunofluorescence
how long will maternal immunity last in protection against PED
4-13 days
Swine delta coronavirus has ____ mortality rates in nursing pigs compared to PED
lower
when do outbreaks of SDCV occur
at 3-5weeks of age
how is TGEV related to PRCoV
TGEV is PRCov with the deletion of 225 aa in spike protein
what are some clinical signs of TGE
vomiting, profuse watery yellow diarrhea, rapid weight loss and dehydration
what day of gestation will infection of porcine parvovirus not result in fetal death
after day 70 fetus is immunologically competent
what material would you send to lab to test for PPV
fetal parts and mummified fetus
list the manifestation of parvoviral disease in cats
panleukopenia, enteritis, cerebella hypoplasia, abortion, fetal death, mummification, infertility
list the manifestation of parvoviral disease in dogs
lymphopenia, enteritis, neonatal myocarditis
list the manifestation of parvoviral disease in pigs
still birth, abortion, fetal death, mummification, infertility
