Q

what is pseudorabies or aujeszky’s disease or mad itch?

A

usually respiratory and neurological disease of swine

29
Q

what does pseudorabies or aujeszky’s disease or mad itch resemble?

A

rabies

30
Q

what is the distinguishing feature of pseudorabies or aujeszky’s disease or mad itch?

A

intense pruritus

31
Q

what is the genome of pseudorabies?

A

linear dsDNA virus

32
Q

what is the virus of pseudorabies?

A

suid (porcine) herpesvirus-1 (SHV-1)

33
Q

does pseudorabies infect horses and humans?

A

no

34
Q

what is the reservoir of pseudorabies?

A

carrier swine

35
Q

how is pseudorabies shed?

A

saliva
nasal secretions
milk
semen

36
Q

in which cells does pseudorabies replicate?

A

oronasal epithelium and tonsils
spreads to lymph nods and then travels to CNS along cranial nerves

37
Q

does the pseudorabies vaccine prevent infection?

A

no
does prevent shedding and transplacental transmission

38
Q

what is the genome of rabies?

A

ssRNA

39
Q

where does the rabies virus replicate?

A

cytoplasm

40
Q

what protein induces neutralizing antibodies?

A

glycoprotein (used for vaccine)

41
Q

what is the replication progression of rabies?

A

local replication in myocytes
then spreads to peripheral nerve endings using nicotinic acetylcholine receptors

42
Q

what is the general progression of signs with rabies?

A

CNS signs
primarily behavioral then paralytic
then death

43
Q

what happens with neurons in rabies?

A

neuronal apoptosis and necrosis

44
Q

what are the inclusion bodies of rabies?

A

negri body

45
Q

are there antemortem tests for rabies in animals?

A

no

46
Q

what family is the maedi-visna/ovine progressive pneumonia virus?

A

retroviridae

47
Q

what is the genome of maedi-visna?

A

ssRNA

Q

what is the incubation period of maedi/visna?

A

up to 8 years

49
Q

where does maedi impact?

A

lung
smooth muscle

50
Q

what are infection rates of caprine arthritis and encephalitis like in the US?

A

high rates: up to 80%

51
Q

what family is caprine arthritis and encephalitis?

A

retroviridae
