cowpox (foreign animal disease)
pseudocowpox
bovine papular stomatitis
lumpy skin disease
What are characteristics of poxviruses in bovine?
resistant to environment
lesions proliferative and some tumor like
some long-lasting and some not
diagnosis by clinical appearance confirmed by electron microscopy or virus isolation
transmission by contact and mechanically by arthropods
several viruses zoonotic
What is pseudocowpox?
mild often recurrent disease in dairy cattle
often associated with poor hygiene
secondary bacterial mastitis occurs
causes bovine papular stomatitis and milker’s nodules
What lesion is noted for pseudocowpox?
pathognomonic ring lesion
proliferative nature of lesion
What is the human infection from pseudocowpox?
milker’s nodule
What is bovine papular stomatitis?
common incidental infection in beef cattle
suckling calves or up to 1 year of age
no treatment necessary
How do you diagnose bovine papular stomatitis?
negative contrast electron microscopy
What are examples of diseases in cattle caused by herpes viruses?
infectious bovine rhinotracheitis
malignant catarrhal fever
dermopathic bovine herpesvirus infection
pseudorabies
What are other characteristics for bovine herpesvirus?
unstable in environment
wide range of clinical presentations
latent infections
diagnosis confirmed by virus isolation and PCR
transmission by direct contact and droplet/aerosol
some viruses are zoonotic or jump species

are all caused by _____
bovine herpes virus 1
each can present as a separate disease
What is characteristic of infectious bovine rhinotracheitis?
pustular character of lesions
Infectious Bovine Rhinotracheitis has what symptoms?
excessive salivation
pneumonia
What are the general infections with BHV1?
conjunctivitis
corneal keratitis and ulceration
possible association with “cancer eye”
What is characteristic of infectious pustular vulvovaginitis and infectious balanoposthitis?
does NOT lead to abortion
lesions on genitalia
How does a calf acquire BHV1?
shortly after birth may lead to a systemic infection and death with microscopic lesions throughout the body in addition to respiratory signs
BHV1 abortion follows from ______
a respiratory infection
not a distinct virus from that causing IBR
