What is the etiology of bovine parainfluenza virus 3 respiratoy disease?
Respirovirus
bovine parainfluenza virus 3
Host of bovine parainfluenza?
cattle and sheep
how is bovine parainfluenza transmitted?
aerosol
what are the target cells for bovine parainfluenza?
epithelial cells of the respiratory tract?
Disease in cattle?
Potential role in initiating so-called shipping fever of cattle, or bovine respiratory disease complex.
With other viruses, or as sole pathogen, predisposes animals to secondary bacterial infection, especially Mannheimia haemolytica infection, resulting in severe bacterial bronchopneumonia.
Bovine parainfluenza virus-3 Respiratory Disease
how do you diagnoe bovine parainfluenza?
Virus identification in nasal discharges and respiratory tissues by FAT and ELISA.
Newcastle disease was first observed in which country?
Java, Indonesia
Is Newcastle disease reportable?
yes
What is the etiology of Newcastle disease?
avian paramyxovirus serotype 1
What do low virulent viruses of Avian paramyxovirus serotype-1 produce?
produce precursor F proteins that are cleaved only by a trypsin-like protease which have a restricted tissue distribution and are usually distributed extracellularly.
