19
Q

Who gets infected by African Horse Sickness?

A

Horses-donkeys-mules

*rare occasions - dogs from eating infected meat

20
Q

African horse sickness virus is composed of _____ segments of RNA. There are ____ known serotypes.

A

10 segments

9 serotypes

21
Q

Who are the vectors for AHS?

A

Culicoides imicola & C. bolintinos

22
Q

Who is an asymptomatic carrier of AHS?

A

Zebras

23
Q

What clinical signs are seen in the Dunkup form of AHS and when does it occur?

A

ACUTE phase

Pulmonary: frothy nasal discharge and froth in trachea, pulmonary edema and petechia of the lungs

24
Q

What clinical signs are seen in the Dikkop form of AHS and when does it occur?

A

SUBACUTE

Cardiac: edema of the head and eyelids, hydroperitoneum, congestion in conjunctiva, serosal petechia, edema in the mucosa of the colon

25
Q

How do you treat African horse sickness?

A

CULL

Prevention by vector control or vaccine

26
Q

Rotaviruses have _____ segments of ________ stranded RNA. They are broken down into ____ groups (A-H).

A

11 segments
double stranded
8 groups

27
Q

*What group of rotaviruses are he most important cause of diarrhea in young animals and humans?

A

RVA

28
Q

VP7 are grouped into ____ genotypes.

VP4 are grouped into ____ genotypes.

A 
VP7 = G
VP4= P
29
Q

T/F: Rotaviruses are very stable in the environment

A

TRUE

30
Q

What is the most common mode of transmission of rotaviruses?

A

FECAL ORAL ROUTE

31
Q

Where do rotaviruses replicate in the body?

A

Enterocytes of intestinal vili = malabsorption Dhr

increase calcium in the cell due to replication will also induce secretory dhr

32
Q 
In what age groups are these animals effected by rotavirus dhr most commonly?
Calves
Lambs
Piglets
foals
A

Calves: 1-3 weeks
Lambs: less than 3 weeks
Piglets: 1-5 weeks
foals: anytime?

33
Q

T/F: Rotaviruses are self-limiting

A

TRUE

34
Q

T/F: If a horse has African horse sickness, you need to report it right away

A

TRUE - List A virus

35
Q

Is rotavirus zoonotic?

A

YES!!

36
Q

What are some dx methods used for rotavirus testing?

A

PAGE, ELISA, Electron microscopy, PCR

37
Q

If you decide to vaccinate for rotavirus, who do you vaccinate?

A

Horses and cattle - while pregnant so immunity will be passively transferred to the offspring

38
Q

What genus does the avian reovirus belong to?

A

Orthoreovirus

39
Q

What is the avian reovirus’s claim to fame?

A

Number one cause of lameness in poultry!

Causes arthritis and tenosyvitis

40
Q

What are the primary route of transmission of the avian reovirus?

A

**fecal oral route

also transovarial and inhalation

41
Q

What chickens are most effected by avian reovirus?

A

broilers

42
Q

What is the pathogenesis of avian reovirus?

A

replication in the intestines –> spread via blood stream to joints –> specifically hock joint –> severe inflammation and synovial fluid - can cause rupture of the gastrocnemius

43
Q

How is the avian reovirus prevented?

A

Modified and live vaccines

Vaccines are admin to layers to pass immunity to chicks
sometimes chicks are vaccinated
