Respiratory 3 Flashcards
what is the 2 hit theory of BRDC?
that first the animal is infected with a virus like BRSV PI-3 IBR or BVDV and then that virus causes damage allowing bacteria to creep in like mannheimia haemolytica pasteurella multocida histophilus somni and mycoplasma bovis
enzootic pneumonia of calves affects animals that
are less than 6 months old, housed indoors, a dairy calf
what will you see on post mortem with enzootic pneumonia
bronchopneumonia
how does bovine respiratory syncytial virus cause disease
the virus impairs function of the alveolar macrophages leading to bacterial infections
what does BRSV cause
a bronchointerstitial pneumonia
manheimia haemolytica is a _______ bacteria of the nasopharynx that causes __________
commensal, pneumonic manheimiosis
what are the gross lesions of mannheimia pneumonia
cranioventral bronchpneumonia with abundant fibrin, on cut section their are coagulative areas of necrosis
why do you see “oat cells” on histo with mannheimia pneumonia
mannheimia haemolyticia produces a leukotoxin that lysis neutrophils and these apparently look like oats
one is one difference between pneumonia caused by p. multocida and m. heamolytica
p. multocida does not cause coagulative necrosis
histophilus somni can cause several conditions but
only one condition is usually present in any one animal
what can h. somni cause
bronchopneumonia and pleuritis, pericarditis, polyarthritis, thromboembolic meningoencephalitis
what are mycoplasmas
the smallest free living self replicating organisms that LACK A CELL WALL
how do mycoplasmas impair the respiratory tract
they adhere to the ciliated epithelium and cause ciliostasis- thus the mucocillary apparatus stops working
what is the most common mycoplasma in cattle, what disease syndromes does it cause
mycoplasma bovis
pneumonia, polyarthritis, otitis media, mastitis
secondary colonization of what pathogen is common with mycoplasm bovis
trueperella pyogenes
what gross lesions will you see with mycoplasma bovis
caseonecrotic bronchopneumonia
other than cattle, who else does mycoplasma bovis severely affect
bison
what are mycobacteria
non-motile, non-spore forming coccobacilli that must be stained with acid fast stain
what are the big 3 mycobacteria diseases in vet med
- TB
- johnes
- leprosy
what is the gross lesion associated with tb
the tubercle- nodular granuloma that is often mineralized
what are the 3 characteristic features of a tubercle on histo
- central necrosis
- small numbers of bacteria
- rim epithelioid macrophages and multinucleated giant cells
tb causes what type of pneumonia
granulomatous
tb in cattle is caused by
mycobacterium bovis and tuberculosis
what are the wildlife reservoirs in Canada for tb
cervids and bison
fog fevers actual name is
acute bovine pulmonary emphysema and edema
what causes fog fever, when is it likely to occur
3-methylindole toxicity- a toxic metabolite from l-tryptophan
occurs in the fall when cattle are moved onto lush pasture, about 4-10 days after
what are the gross lesions of fog fever
foam in the trachea, interstitial pneumonia , interbular and bullous emphysema
