A

border disease virus

22
Q

_________ is an orbivirus that is arthropod-borne (gnats, ticks, lice). It is non-contagious. It infects vascular endothelial cells resulting in edema and hemorrhage. If it causes abortion, it is likely because a modified live vaccine was given to the pregnant animal.

A

Bluetongue virus

23
Q

What are the clinical signs of Bluetongue virus in infected adults and lambs?

A

fever, depression, congestion of blood vessels of lips and muzzle, cyanosis of tongue, edema of lips, face, eyelid, and ears, inflammation around coronary band and laminitis, abortion

24
Q

What are the fetal lesions of bluetongue virus?

A

mummification
stillbirth
abortion
congenital brain malformation

25
Q

cache valley virus is an orthobunyavirus that most commonly causes _______ or lambs with multiple congenital abnormalities.

A

stillborn lambs

26
Q

describe the outcome if infected with cache valley virus at these specific time periods:
1. <32d:
2. between 32-37d:
3. between 37-48d:

A
  1. <32d: early embryonic death
  2. between 32-37d: musculoskeletal and cerebellar malformations
  3. between 37-48d: musculoskeletal malformations
27
Q

What are the lesions associated with cache valley virus in small ruminants?

A
  1. hydrocephalus or hydrancephaly
  2. cerebellar hypoplasia

28
Q

Viral infection of pig embryos (very early pregnancy), results in…

A

resorption and infertility

29
Q

Viral infection of pig fetuses before day 70, results in…

A

stillbirth or mummification

30
Q

Viral infection of pig fetuses after day 70, results in…

A

pigs born alive and healthy

31
Q

What is SMEDI?

A

stillborn
mummification
early embryonic death
infertility
Pig fetuses can be infected with the same virus at different times throughout gestation. This time at which they are infected will determine the outcome.

32
Q

This is a porcine arterivirus that has a high mutation rate, replicates in macrophages in lungs and URT (pneumonia). It also causes immunosuppression, therefore the immune response is weak/delayed for 1 month leading to persistent infection. Infection in pregnant sows results in abortion.

A

porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus

33
Q

If a sow is infected with porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus, she will be off feed before aborting and have a fever. The virus will cross the placenta at what time period?

A

90 days gestation (end of pregnancy)

34
Q

What are the lesions in the aborted fetuses associated with porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus?

A

SMEDI (mummified, stillborn), umbilical and cutaneous hemorrhage

35
Q

this virus typically infects gilts on their first pregnancy. It targets mitotically active cells (fetus). Transplacental infection occurs 10-14d after infection. Damage to the fetus occurs before day 70 of gestation (before fetus develops immunity).

A

porcine parvovirus

36
Q

infection with porcine parvovirus during these time frames results in…
<30d:
30-70d:
>70d:

A

SMEDI
<30d: embryonic death and absorption of fetus
30-70d: death of fetus and mummification
>70d: effective immune response and clear virus

37
Q

This virus is called pseudorabies in other species and Aujesky’s Disease in pigs. It can result in SMEDI, but pigs typically die at the same stage of gestation. There are no lesions usually, but if there are it’ll be multifocal hepatic necrosis.

A

porcine herpesvirus 1

38
Q

This canine virus has aerosol and transplacental transmission. It replicates in MM of URT, pharynx, and tonsils. Large amounts of this virus shed in nasal and vaginal secretions. It requires a lower body temperature to replicate (so not when fetuses are inside of the mother). Abortion is an uncommon outcome, but the entire litter of puppies will become infected in the first weeks of life. Morbidity and mortality are high.

A

canine herpesvirus 1

39
Q

What are the 2 potential outcomes of canine herpesvirus 1 infection during pregnancy?

A
  1. if dam infected mid-gestation, she may abort or have stillborn pups
  2. some puppies may be born normal but then develop systemic form of infection
40
Q

T/F: after a bitch is infected with CHV-1 will develop immunity and her subsequent litters will be unaffected

A

true

41
Q

what are the lesions associated with canine herpesvirus 1?

A

multifocal necrosis in multiple organs, hemorrhage in kidneys, intranuclear inclusions

42
Q

What other canine viruses cause abortion but are causing abortion due to making the mother so ill that she is unable to sustain the pregnancy?

A

canine distemper virus
canine adenovirus

43
Q

____________ is an uncommon cause of canine abortion because circulating immunity. If abortion occurs, puppies will likely have myocardial necrosis and inflammation.

A

canine parvovirus
