Q

Other CS that histophilus somni causes with BRDC

A

Joint effusion/ infertility or abortion/ otitis/ conjunctivitis/ neuro signs

17
Q

Other CS that mycoplasma bovis causes of BRDC

A

Joint effusion/ colitis or conjunctivitis

18
Q

Pathology of BRDC (viruses)

A

Infects epithelial cells and ciliated epithelium in upper resp. and bronchi →destruction of cells →↓ mucocillary clearance and ↑ susceptibility to secondary infection
Immunosuppression →↓ neutro chemotaxis and ↓ lympho blastogenesis and expression of MHC

19
Q

Pathogenesis of mannheimia (BRDC)

A

Exotoxin (leukotoxin → cytolysis of neutros)
Endotoxin → inflamm by initiating complement cascade activiating neutros and macros to produce cytokines
Leukopenia

20
Q

Pathogenesis of other bacteria (BRDC)

A

Pasteurella: endotoxin
Histophilus: lipooligosaccharide → endotoxemia
Mycoplasma: CM expressed surface proteins (Vsps)

21
Q

Pathogenesis of infectious bov rhinotracheitis

A

Latent infection in neural tissue

22
Q

Lesions of BRDC

A

Cranioventral lung consolidation
Fibrinopurulent exudate in resp. passages

23
Q

Dx for BRDC (bacteria)

A

CS
Bacteria: cx from trans-tracheal aspirate or resp. tissues @ necropsy

24
Q

Dx for BRDC (virus)

A

CS
Nasal swabs or resp. tissues @ necropsy for virus isolation or immunofluorescent assays or PCR

25
Q

Tx for BRDC

A

Abx (amoxicillin, ceftiofur, enrofloxacin, etc- rotate between abx)
Anti-inflamms: flunixin meglumine

26
Q

Prevention and control for BRDC

A

Reduced exposure to dust, wind, cold and reduced crowding
Vaccines: inactivated/ killed**, attenuated/ modified live

27
Q

Tuberculosis

A

Consumption, scrofula, TB
Debilitating dz, formation of nodular granulomas (tubercles)
Zoonotic and reportable

28
Q

Casual agent of tuberculosis

A

M. Bovis (domestic animals)
M. Tuberculosis, M. Avium
Acid-fast bacilli

29

Resp route via aerosol droplets
Ingestion (horses)
In feces, urine, semen and milk

30
Q

Which animals are more susceptible to tuberculosis

A

Cattle and goats
Sheep resistant
Horses

31
Q

Factors influencing tuberculosis

A

Housing, crowded conditions
Main reservoirs: cattle and man

32
Q

Pathogenesis of tuberculosis

A

TB bacilli stimulate formation of granulomas in lungs
Form primary complexes: focal necrotic area surrounded by granuloma containing mononuclear cells and disseminate to other organs

33
Q

Lesions associated with tuberculosis

A

Thick encapsulated granulomas with pus
Granulomas in LNs, lungs and liver

34
Q

Dx of tuberculosis

A

Screening test: Intradermal tuberculin test in cd. tail fold
Confirmatory test: comparative cervical test in side of neck

35
Q

Tx for tuberculosis

A

Cull infected animals due to risk of transmission to animals
Rifampin and isoniazid in horses
