one, Insect, Mosquitoes

EIAV -Clinical Sings
Three clinical forms/stages of EIAV
*** Acute/ Sub acute form:
responses generally occur __-___ days after initial exposure
*Horses may develop _____, go off _____, or ____ suddenly
*Virus destroys ___ _____ cells, causing severe ________
*Animals may test ______ for 16 days to 42 days PI, till the animal’s immune system produce detectable antibodies.
Clinical signs include?:
**Chronic form: infections produce ______ tests and classic symptoms: ?
- Inapparent form:
*Healthy animals with no fever or anaemia
*95% of current EIAV population
Symptoms severity =viral load
= transmissibility
7-30, fever, feed, die, red blood, anaemia, negative
*Weight loss *anaemia *oedema
*Stumbles *Unsteady gait * Diphasic fever
positive
-Weight loss, weakness -Anemia
-Swelling of the lower legs, chest and abdomen
-Symptoms subside, but may reoccur
How would you diagnose and Control EIAV? EIAV – Diagnosis and control
**Coggins test (AGID): gold standard test for EIAV as per the OIE
recognized for international trade to diagnose EIAV (‘swamp fever’)
** ELISA: rapid test: can produce false positive
* **Western blot : test for viral proteins not antibodies confirming test may detect the virus before the Abs are formed none quantitative test
*** Q-PCR test:
Can test the presence of the pro-viral DNA in macrophages
Sensitive before eh antibodies formed
Can indicate acute viral load
Can test foal exposure
* Once animal is infected, it becomes a carrier for life
To date there are no satisfactory vaccines for EIAV
The key to prevention is the identification and control of infected horses
An eradication program would be only possible

Describe the pathogenesis of FIV
CD8+ is a marker because host tries to compromise by MHC-I.
