Q

What Pseudorabies vaccinations are utilized in the state of Iowa?

A

Gene deletion vaccinations with th egI deletion. The only way an animal could have antibody against the gI glycoprotein is to have been infected with the field virus

Q

What is the concern with modified live pseudorabies vaccinations.

A

Some of them were capeable of producing disease in other animals. This is a concern in situations where syringes and needles were reused.

Q

What happens to a sow if she is infected with Parvovirus <70days of gestation?

A

the fetuses are susceptible to the virus and will die and be resorbed or will mummify.

Q

What diagnostics are utilized in identifying Parvovirus?

A

Reproductive problems in gilts but not sows is highly suggestive. A relative lack of maternal illness, abortions and fetal anomalies is not seen with most other causes

Submit several mummified fetuses less or fetal lungs for IHC

Serology: if the gilt lacks antibody- a diagnosis of parvovirus is ruled out

Q

What Methods of prevention are used for Picornaviruses to prevent Polioencephalomyelitis?

A

Vaccination against Teschen disease. Less virulent forms are not vaccinated against.

21
Q

What is the major cause of Leptospirosis in swine throughout the world

A

Leptospira interrogans serovar pomona

22
Q

How is Leptospirosis transmitted between animals

A

through breaks in the skin, direct penetration of mucous membranes or through conjunctiva.

Transmission from infected boars into a sow herd has occurred

Oral exoosure from the feed is a concern and may be a method of introduction of the infection into a confined herd.

23
Q

What are clinical signs associated with Leptospirosis?

A

last half of gestation: aboritons, stillbirths, and neonatal deaths.

Most of the sows do not show marked clinical signs.

24
Q

What is the standard test for identificaiton of Leptospirosis in swine?

A

Microscopic agglutination test

25
Q

What are methods of prevention of Leptospirosis?

A

Chlorination of water supplies
Immunizaiton is standard- gilts should be given 2 doses prior to breeding and repeat vaccinations should be administered to the sow prior to each breeding.

26
Q

What treatment methods are used for Leptospirosis?

A

Tetracyclines, Tylocin

27
Q

What brucella biovars account for disease seen in the US

A

Brucella suis biovars 1 and 3

28
Q

What brucella species is found to affect Reindeer and ceribous

A

Brucella suis biovar 4

29
Q

How is Brucellosis transmitted

A

swine to swine transmission. Venereal route, ingestion etc.

Feral pigs maintain the infection

30
Q

Clinical signs associated with Brucellosis

A

Abortions may occur at any time in gestation with the highest rate occurring when the sow or gilt is infected at breeiding.

Boars may have orchitis.

Spondylitis, and may become paralyzed or lame.

31
Q

What diagnostic methods are used for Brucellosis

A

cutlure- most accurate- lymph node culture

Serology- used most frequently on a herd basis

32
Q

What methods of control are utilized for herds infected with Brucellosis?

A

Depop- Repop

33
Q

What bacterium is responsible for the majority of Tuberculosis infections?

A

Mycobacteria avium serovars 1,2,4,and 8

34
Q

How is tuberculosis transmitted?

A

infection is almost always via ingestion.

Wild birds or infected poultry are a common source.

35
Q

What lymph nodes are most commonly affected in cases of tuberculosis?

A

cervical or mesenteric nodes- lesions are usually caseous and yellowish white and vary from a few millimeters in size to involvement of the whole node.

36
Q

What methods of prevention/control can be utilized for Tuberculosis?

A

Elimination of contact between swine and poultry and wild birds. Thorough disinfection of premises that have had swine with TB.

37
Q

what bacteria is responsible for causing pyelonephritis/cystitis

A

Actinobaculum suis

38
Q

what lesions are seen with Actinobaculum suis infection

A

thickened bladder wall with a hemorrhagic epithelium. The bladder may contain purulent exudate and deposits of sand-like material that are usually composed of struvite

39
Q

What method of treatment is used in cases of Actinobaculum suis infections?

A

Ampicillin works the best, but early intervention is necessary in order to have a positive outcome

40
Q

What prevention methods can be used to reduce the chance of Actinobaculum suis infections?

A

Maximize water consumption, increase salt in the ration, frequent watering and twice a day feeding to get sows on their feet, general cleanliness and good ventilation.

41
Q

What is the etiology for Eperythrozoonosis

A

Mycoplasma suis.

42
Q

How is Eperythrozoonosis transmitted

A

Transmission is most likely through needles and equiptment

43
Q

What clinical signs are associated with pigs under 5 days of age and Mycoplasma suis?

A

clinical signs of anemia and icterus.

44
Q

What exotic Viral disease of swine is characterized as having button ulcers and splenic infarcts?

A

Hog Cholera

45
Q

What exotic Viral disease of swine is characterized as hving edema of the lungs and gall bladder wall, excessive pericardial, pleural and peritoneal fluids

A

African Swine Fever

46
Q

How is hog Cholera transmitted

A 
Direct contact via oro-nasal route
Garbage feeding
Virus is viable in pork and pork products
Mechanical vectors
Wild pigs
In-utero exposure
47
Q

How does a strain of low virulence Hog Cholera affect piglets?

A

Congenital tremors with cerebellar hypoplasia

48
Q

How is African Swine Fever Transmitted?

A

All secretions and excretions are infectious
Tick vectors
Transmission commonly occurs by introduction of infected swine or indirectly through contaminated personnel and equipment

49
Q

What control methods are utilized in swine with ASF

A

slaughter all infected and exposed swine, restrict swine and pork movement

Thorough cooking of garbage before feeding it to swine
