Q

Venezuelan Equine Encephalomyelitishorse and humans are which kind of hosts

A

horse is not a dead end

can induce high virus titre anaemia in the
horse than the mosquito can transmitt it from horse to other animals/humans

Q

Venezuelan Equine Encephalomyelitis cycle

A

rodent/horse-mosquitoes-rodents/horse

20
Q

Venezuelan Equine Encephalomyelitis season

A

summer/rainy

21
Q

Equine Encephalomyelitis pathogenesis

A

bite
injection of virus into blood
reaches regional lymph node (prim. rep)
Viraemia (1st)
visceral organs
back to blood (viraemia)

22
Q

Can Equine Encephalomyelitis appear as an unapparent infection

A

yes, no fever, low titre viraemia (too low to cause damages in body)

23
Q

which Equine Encephalomyelitis has the highest mortality rate?

A

Eastern < Western < Venezuelan

24
Q

how long is immunity after Equine Encephalomyelitis infection

A

life-long

but can be long lasting brain damage signs

25
Q

Equine Encephalomyelitis incubation time

26
Q

Equine Encephalomyelitis peracute form

A

fever (>41°), shock death

27
Q

Acute/Subacute form of Equine Encephalomyelitis

A

Biphasic fever (2 viraemia)
signs of encephalitis, myelitis

28
Q

venezuelan Equine Encephalomyelitis acute specific symptoms

A

+ colic & diarrhea

29
Q

terminal stage of Equine Encephalomyelitis symptom

A

horse lies down and turns in circles

“digging own grave”

30
Q

can there be a chronic form of Equine Encephalomyelitis

A

rare, 1-2wks, death can occur too

(recovery but with permanent damages)

31
Q

Pathoglogy of Equine Encephalomyelitis

A

macroscopically unspecific

32
Q

histopath of Equine Encephalomyelitis

A

encephalitis, myelitis (grey & white matter affected)

(lots of immune cells)

33
Q

Diagnosis of Equine Encephalomyelitis

A

NOTIFIABLE DISEASE
season, geographic
blood, brain samples

34
Q

DD of Equine Encephalomyelitis

A

with CNS signs:
Rabies, Rhinopneumonitis, West Nile fever, St Louis encephalitis, Japanese encephalitis, Getah virus

35
Q

prevention of all three Equine Encephalomyelitis

A

OIE listed and NOTIFIABLE in EU

36
Q

Equine Encephalomyelitis immunisation

A

Inactivated, trivalent vaccine- meaning it contains all 3 viruses
- 2× basic immunisation + yearly repetitions
- Venezuelan: strain TC 83 – attenuated (virus is alive but weakened, thus does
not cause clinical signs)

37
Q

is Equine Encephalomyelitis zoonotic?

38
Q

public health consideration of Equine Encephalomyelitis in humans

A

Infection of pregnant mother in the 2nd-3rd trimester can lead to abortion, newborn cerebral necrosis
children more sensitive
human vaccine present
