Rhabdoviridae Flashcards
All Lyssaviruses cause what sort of disease?
Rabies or Rabies-like disease
Bovine Ephemeral Fever Virus belongs to what Rhabdovirus genus
Ephemorovirus
Clinical sign of what Rhabdovirus
Novirhabdovirus - Viral haemorrhagic Septicemia Virus
Exposure to Viral Hemorrhagic Septicemia virus is characterized by
Lethargy
Spiral Swimming Pattern
Darkened body color
Pale gills
Exophthalmia
Hemorrhage at base of fins
Clinical sign of what Rhabdovirus
Vesiculovirus
Rhabdovirus virions are released from the host cell by
budding
Vesicular Stomatitis Virus is transmitted by
Biting insects
Viral Hemorrhagic Septicemia Virus infection occurs at what water temperatures
4-14C, disappears at temperature >15C
What histiologic finding is diagnostic of Rabies Virus infection?
Negri bodies
Rhabdovirus protein that is an inner protein that facilitates virion budding - binds N and G proteins
M Protein
Clinical features of Vesicular Stomatitis Virus in cattle and horses
Excessive salivation and fever
Incubation period of Rabies Virus
14-90 days, even years
What type of sample should be collected for rabies virus detection
Tissue from at least two locations in the brain
Characteristics of excitative (fury) phase of rabies virus infection
Severe agitation and aggressiveness
Animal often bites any material
Rabid dogs develop typical high barking sound
Internal lesions associated with Viral Hemorrhagic Septicemia Virus infection
Hemorrhage in several organs
Liver is mottled and variably congested
Multifocal necrosis in several organs
Viral Hemorrhagic Septicemia Virus causes what type of disease in fish
Systemic infection
Gold standard laboratory diagnostic test for Rabies Virus
Fluorescent Antibody Test (FAT)
Four genera that make up Family Rhabdoviridae
Lyssavirus
Vesiculovirus
Ephemerovirus
Novirhabdovirus
Clinical Features of Bovine Ephemeral Fever Virus infection
Seasonal
Biphasic/Polyphasic Fever
Immediate drop in milk production
Cessation of rumination
Pathogenesis of Rabies Virus
- Virus replicates in the muscle tissue
- Accesses the peripheral nerves through sensory or motor nerves
- Binds to receptor for Ach at neuromuscular junction
- Infect the CNS
- Replicates extensively in limbic system
- Migrates to other organs - salivary glands
