Q

While sows are immune to porcine parvovirus in endemic farms, gilts are not. When might they be susceptible?

A

During mating and pregnancy

32
Q

In porcine parvovirus, when does transplacental infection occur?

A

10-14 days after infection

33
Q

In porcine parvovirus, when does damage to the fetus usually occur during gestation?

A

Before 70 days - before fetus develops immunity

34
Q

In Porcine Parvovirus, what determines the outcome of a fetus?

A

Age

35
Q

In the case of Porcine Parvovirus, explain how the age will effect the outcome. What will the outcome be if embryos are infected, infection before day 70 and after day 70. What is the mnemonic to remember this?

A

Infected embryos = resorption and infertility
Before day 70 = still birth or mummification
After day 70 = pigs are born alive and healthy

Stillbirth Mummification Early embryonic Death Infertility

36
Q

Which species is parvovirus primarily enteric?

A

canine and feline

37
Q

In which species will there be some fetal death and abortion?

A

canine and feline

38
Q

Which species is more likely to have panleukopenia?

A

feline

39
Q

In utero infection in cats can result in ________

A

cerebellar hypoplasia

40
Q

Which species has primarily reproductive issues associated with parvovirus?

A

porcine

41
Q

Which species has SMEDI syndrome?

A

Porcine

42
Q

Why can different piglets from the same sow have different outcomes?

A

Each fetus has own placenta

43
Q

Unlike DNA viruses, which virus replicates in the cytoplasm?

A

poxvirus

44
Q

Instead of intranuclear inclusions what do poxviruses form?

A

intracytoplasmic inclusions

45
Q

Which virus is the largest virus that cause disease in domestic animals?

A

Poxviruses

46
Q

Are poxviruses enveloped or non-enveloped? Double stranded or single stranded?

Q

In what conditions are poxviruses stable?

A

Dry conditions

Q

What are 3 ways in which poxviruses can be transmitted?

A

aerosol
direct
mechanical (insects)

49
Q

What does infection of poxviruses usually result in? Why?

A

Raised skin lesions that progress into scabs due to viral proteins (epidermal growth factor) released leading to epidermal proliferation

50
Q

In poxvirus, endothelial infection results in ______

A

vasculitis

51
Q

In poxvirus, generalized infection results in cell-associated viremia. Explain systematic infection vs local infection

A

systemic - results in life long immunity
localized - develop transient immunity and recurrence is possible
