(2)
(Routes and mechanisms of damage to CNS viral infection)
(Hematogenous infection - BBB)
- virus is carried by what acrros the BBB?
- virus infects endothelial cells, followed by direct extension into what?
(Extension along nerve processes - rabies, herpes)
- Retrograde axoplasmic transport from peripheral sites to paraspinal ganglia and ultimately the brainstem or spinal cord.
- leukcytes
- the neuropil

(Mechanisms by which virus infection damages the CNS: Direct and Indirect)
(Direct Virus-Induced damage to the CNS)
1-3. The relationship between a virus and its host cell can induce what three things?
- then the pic
- lytic infection (fulminat viral gene expression results in death of the host cell)
- persistent infection: low level viral gene expression
3 latent infection: no gene expression
(5)
(6)
(Indirect viruses-induced damages the CNS)
(Induction of an immunomediated response)
- look at virus list in pic
- immunopathogenic mechanisms
like infection of what by lentiviruses?
- highly inflammatory lesion that results in what?
- key factors in pathogeneis include what trhee things?
- microglia
- extensive demyelination with relative sparing of neurons
- look at pic
(7)
(Indirect virus-induced damage to the CNS)

(Canine Distemper Virus)
- Paramyxoviral multisystemic disease of what?
- Clinical signs may be referable to primary viral or secondary bacterial infection of the respiratory or gastrointestinal tract.
- replication in CNS very much related to what?
- canines, mustelids (eg skunk, mink, ferret), procyonids (raccoon)
- age
(11)
(CDV-Pathogenesis)
- intial virus replication where?
particularly where?
- Viremia with seeding of what tissues of the body?
virus replication results in what?
- Virus replication within other tissues for which CDV exhibits a tropism - like what?
1 lymphoid tissue of the upper respiratory tract
tonsils
- lymphoid
a second viremia (unless checked by a humoral immune response)
- in pic
(12)
(CDV-Pathogenesis)
(Acute encephalopathy/acute encephalitis)
(13)
(Rabies)
(14)
(Rabies - Pathogenesis)
- virus introduced into host - initial replication where?
aersol –> where?
bite wound –? where?
- enters peripheral sensoary nerve ending and ascends to associated ganglion by retrograde axonplasmic transport
associated ganglioneuritis
virus is shielded form what?
- spread to the spinal cord and ascension within the cord, also use what?
may be associated with what?
Intoduction via a cranial nerve places virus where? what is then expected?
- site of entry
neuroepithelial cells of nasal mucosa
muscle cells and cells of sensory apparatus
- immune surveiallance
- axoplasmic transporter
paralysis (tetraparesis or laryngeal paralysis)
directly into brainstem - more rapid and fatal course then expected
(15)
(Rabies: Pathogenesis)
- Axoplasmic transport of virus occurs as the virus ascends the spinal cord, doing what?
spread between neurons occurs through what?
infection of peripheral tissue follows and virus can be found within what?
- Fatality as virulent strains reach the brain - unhindered by significant host (inflammatory) response to virus
see virus inclusions where? where in carnivores? in herbivores?
maximal involvement of what three brain areas?
- infecting new populations of neurons.
synaptic complexes
all body fluids
- neurons (Negri bodies); hippocampus, purkinje cells
hippocampus, hypothalamus, pons
