Rickettsiales Flashcards
Neorikettsia invade what type of cells
Surivive in macrophages and mononuclear cells
Anaplasma invade what types of cells
Rickettsia rickettsii is transmitted through
Ixoided and Dermacentor ticks
Rickettsiales are classified based on
Sequence comparison of 16s rRNA gene
Transmission of Coxiella burnetti through
Arthropod
Vector of Neorickettsia
Fluke
_____________________
All stages within fluke life cycle are infectious
Pathological findings of African Heartwater
Vasculitis with effusion
Epithelial/Endothelial hemorrhage
Pericardia effusion and encephalitis
Enlarged - splee, liver, lymph nodes
Bone marrow depression
Causative agent of Potomac Horse Fever
Neorickettsia risticii
Infectious Canine Cyclic Thrombocytopenia is caused by
Anaplasma platys
Cellular and humoral immune mediated response to Ehrlichia canis conribute to
Blood cell destruction
Bone marrow depression
Polyarthritis
Uveitis
Immune complex deposition
Treatment of African Heartwater
Tetracycline
Pathogenesis of Salmon Poisoning Disease
- Ingestion of contaminated fish
- Attachment and penetration of duodenal mucosa by trematode
- Hemorrhagic enteritis with bacterial spread to lymph node, spleen, liver, lungs, brain and thymus
Clinical signs of Bovine Anaplasmosis
Subclinica vs peracute
Depression, anorexia, fever, anemia, icterus
Pathological lesions of Aegyptianellosis
Hepatosplenomegaly and punctiform hemorrhages of serosal surface
Causative agent of Canine Granulocytic Ehrlichiosis
Ehrlichia ewingii
Causative agent of Aegyptianellosis
Aegyptianella pullorum
Neorickettsia
Coccoid
Intracytoplasmic
Found within vacuoles of monocytes, macrophages and enterocytes
Gram Negative
Anaplasma
Coccoid - ellipsoid bacteria
Cause anemia, thrombocytopenia and leukopenia
Stain blue/purple with Wright-Giemsa
Phase 1 antigenic phase of Coxiella burnetti is indicative of what type of infection
Chronic Infection
Causative agent of Equine and Canine Granulocytic Anaplasmosis
Anaplasma phagocytophilum
Treatment of Ricketssia rickettsii
Chloramphenicol, Fluoroquinolones and Tetracyclines
Supportive Therapy
Causative agent of Human Monocytic Ehrlichiosis
Ehrlichia chaffeensis
Diagnosis of Anaplasma platys is by
Blood Smear - Giemsa
