Virology Flashcards
pregnant cattle can be infected with BHV-1 in what stages of pregnancy
all
abortion in cattle with BHV-1 typically occurs at what time period?
4 months+
what are the gross lesions in the fetus and placenta with BHV-1 infection?
Fetus: none or multifocal hepatic necrosis with intranuclear inclusions
Placenta: necrotizing vasculitis
what is the pathogenesis of BHV-1?
aerosol transmission
replication in MM of URT
viremia, enter through umbilical vein
infection of fetus
abortion
pregnant cattle infected with bovine viral diarrhea virus can be infected at what stages of gestation?
all
T/F: abortion rates from bovine viral diarrhea virus are typically low
true
what is the pathogenesis of bovine viral diarrhea virus?
oronasal transmission
replicates in mucosa and palatine tonsil
cell-free viremia or infection of lymphocytes
cross placenta and infect fetus
describe the outcome of infection with bovine viral diarrhea virus based on time of infection:
1. infection <99d:
2. infection 90-200d:
3. infection 133-162d:
4. infection 25-150d:
5. infection 150-175d:
- infection <99d: abortion, resorption, mummification, stillbirth
- infection 90-200d: prevention or alteration of hair growth
- infection 133-162d: cerebellar hypoplasia
- infection 25-150d: persistent infection
- infection 150-175d: develop fetal antibodies, acute infection
on necropsy of aborted cattle fetuses, you see cerebellar hypoplasia, hairless fetus, osteopetrosis, perivascular lymphocytes and plasma cells in multiple organs, and lymphoid depletion. What virus is this attributed to?
bovine viral diarrhea virus
this is a orthobunyavirus transmitted by culicoides. It produces diarrhea, fever, and reduces milk production in the summer months. It will lead to stillbirth and congenital abnormaltiies (scoliosis, arthrogryoposis, cerebellar hypoplasia, hydrocephalus) in december-january. What virus is this?
schmallenberg virus
What days are cattle vs sheep suceptible to schmallenberg virus?
cattle – 70-150
sheep - 28-56
The method of control for schmallenberg virus is…
delay breeding to avoid summer season
vaccine in UK
Pregnant mares can be infected at ALL stages of gestation, but abortion will occur in the 3rd trimester. What virus is this?
equine herpesvirus 1
T/F: equine herpesvirus 4 usually produces sporadic abortions within the 1st trimester
false – sporadic abortions during the 3rd trimester.
What EQUINE virus is described by the following pathogenesis: aerosol transmission, replication in MM of URT and regional lymph nodes, viremia, umbilical vein, infect fetus, abortion, multifocal hepatic necrosis with intranuclear inclusions.
equine herpesvirus
Equine viral arteritis usually produces abortion how long after clinical cases (systemic illness, fever, nasal discharge, limb and mammary edema) appear?
6-29 days
Name the equine virus with the following pathogenesis:
nose-to-nose contact, transplacental, semen transmission
infects macrophages and replicates in cytoplasm, travel to lymph nodes,
viremia
localizes in vascular endothelium
vasculitis
equine viral arteritis virus
what are the lesions associated with equine viral arteritis virus?
none
arteritis in fetal heart or in placenta (fibrinoid necrosis of vessel wall)
____________ is a pestivirus that is closely related to BVDV. Infection occurs after you introduce a PI animal into the herd. Venereal transmission can occur b shedding rams. Abortion will occur at ANY stage o gestation
