Poultry Viruses Flashcards
newcastle disease virus family
- paramyxoviridae
T/F: newcastle is not zoonotic
- false - it is
T/F: cyanosis of comb and wattle clinical sign of newcastle
- true
T/F: depression, muscular tremors, paralysis of wings and/or legs, twisting of head and neck, ataxia, circling, chronic spasms are all clinical signs of newcastle
- true
pathogenesis of newcastle
- replicates in mucosal epithelium of upper respiratory and intestinal tract after first viremia reaches spleen and bone marrow
second viremia of newcastle results in infection of
- infection of lungs and CNS
gross lesions of newcastle
- ecchymotic hemorrhages respiratory and GI tracts
histologic lesions of newcastle
- necrotic foci in intestinal mucosa and lymphatic tissue and hyperemic changes in all organs
3 virulences of newcastle disease
- velogenic - fastest at causing disease
- mesogenic - more or less
- lentogenic - slow, little
IgG effect against infection with newcastle
- blocks viremia but does not prevent respiratory infection
IgA effect against infection with newcastle
- important in respiratory and GI tract
what type of detection is only diagnostic in unvaccinated flocks of newcastle disease
- antibody detection
transmission of newcastle
- direct or indirect
- in all secretions and excretions
importance of caged birds and spread of newcastle
- caged birds imported from endemic areas are at risk for introduction of velogenic strains
infectious bursal disease (IBD) virus family
- birnaviridae
acute form of infectious bursal disease (IBD) clinical signs
- birds are prostrated, debilitated and dehydrated
- watery diarrhea
- chicks are recumbent and have ruffled feathers
subclinical form of infectious bursal disease (IBD) clinical signs
- immunosuppression in very young chickens (less than 3 weeks)
- bursa will not be competent
T/F: kidney failure is a common cause of mortality in bird infected with infectious bursal disease
- true
clinical disease of birds infected with infectious bursal disease less than 3 weeks
- do not look sick
- bursa is infected
- subclinical disease
clinical disease of birds infected with infectious bursal disease between 3-6 weeks old
- will show clinical signs
clinical disease of birds infected with infectious bursal disease over 8 weeks old
- resistant to challenge and will not show clinical signs unless infected by high virulent strain
T/F: infectious bursal disease is easy to rid of in the environment
- false - is very resistant
virus family of Marek’s disease
- herpesviridae
mode of transmission of Marek’s disease
- dander in feather follicles
marek’s disease is similar to what other disease
- Avian leukosis
4 overlapping syndromes of Marek’s disease
- neurolymphomatosis
- acute Marek’s disease
- ocular lymphomatosis
- cutaneous marek’s
neurolymphomatosis
asymmetrical paralysis of 1 or both legs or wings
acute marek’s disease
- explosive outbreak with large proportion of birds showing depression and few days later ataxia and paralysis
