Q

What are the steps of canine distemper virus establishing focal persistence?

A

-infect lymphoid cells in resp. tract
-infected cells drain to local LNs
-infected cells disseminate to all lymphoid tissues
-cell-associated viremia develops
-can infiltrate CNS to induce focal persistence

Q

How does immune status and age impact whether or not canine distemper develops focal persistence?

A

-neonate puppies with no immunological protection or passive immunity (colostrum) are most at risk for CNS involvement and death
-older puppies with inadequate immunity are more likely to recover, but are likely to have focal persistence and eventually develop CNS disease
-older dogs with proper immunity are likely to stop the infection before viremia occurs, preventing focal persistence

Q

What are the characteristics of a type 3 virus?

A

-do not cause focal persistence
-virus eliminated if host survives
-potential to also be a type 1 virus
-restricted to mucosal epithelium
-no disseminate
-produce clinical disease by causing cytopathic effects and inflammation of mucosa and epithelium

Q

What are the characteristics of respiratory type 3 infections?

A

-usually transmitted via aerosol
-primarily enveloped viruses
-damage to resp. mucosa and mucociliary escalator leads to coughing/sneezing that increases aerosol transmission
-young, stressed animals most susceptible

-Herpesviridae: infectious bovine rhinotracheitis virus; feline viral rhinotracheitis
-Coronaviridae: canine respiratory coronavirus
-Paramyxoviridae: bovine PIV3

Q

What are the characteristics of bovine shipping fever?

A

-polymicrobial disease in which viral type 3 infection precedes bacterial infection
-resp. virus damages mucociliary escalator and impairs phagocytosis
-damage allows M. haemolytica to enter deep into lung

17
Q

What are the characteristics of intestinal type 3 infections?

A

-young animals most susceptible
-often fecal-oral transmission
-often naked viruses that can survive low pH
-brief incubation periods
-replicate to high levels
-shed in diarrhea

18
Q

What are examples of intestinal type 3 viruses?

A

-Reoviridae: bovine rotavirus
-Coronaviridae: feline enteric coronavirus
-Flaviviridae: BVDV
-Caliciviridae: norovirus

19
Q

What is the pathogenesis of an intestinal type 3 virus that infects the villi tips?

A

affects absorption and secretion

20
Q

What is the pathogenesis of an intestinal type 3 virus that infects the base of crypts?

A

blocks villus regeneration

21
Q

What clinical signs are common with intestinal type 3 infections?

A

-vomiting
-diarrhea
-anorexia
-depression
-dehydration (leads to death)

22
Q

What are the characteristics of bovine rotavirus/scours?

A

-common in calves less than a week old
-very short incubation period
-diarrhea from infected calves is highly contaminated with virus
-immature crypt cells migrate to damaged tip in place of lost absorptive cells, leading to diarrhea
-high morbidity with low mortality
-calves older than 3 months are resistant

23
Q

What is a type 4 infection?

A

chronic persistent infections

24
Q

What are the characteristics of type 4 viruses?

A

-not cleared by the host’s adaptive response
-persist in immune cells or elsewhere in body

25
Q

Why is it important to know which viruses classify as type 4?

A

-since virus is not cleared, it may be silently carried and maintained within population
-control requires identifying and culling all chronic persistent carriers

26
Q

Why is it thought that acute viral infections can persist?

A

-large enough populations can keep an acute infection persistent within the population
-does not mean infection is persistent within the host

27
Q

What are the different categories of type 4 persistent intracellular viral infections?

A

-chronic infections
-latent infections
-slow viral diseases

28
Q

What are the characteristics of BVDV as a chronic infection?

A

-PI cattle shed non-cytopathic BVDV without showing clinical disease
-eventually, non-cytopathic BVDV recombines with host RNA to produce a cytopathic BVDV resulting in severe mucosal disease

29
Q

What are the characteristics of herpes as a latent infection?

A

-virus dsDNA maintained as episome within cell nuclei
-viral RNA accumulates in host cells and keeps most of viral DNA inactive
-viral latency can be broken by host stimuli, leading to an active infection and clinical disease

30
Q

What is latency?

A

when a virus lies dormant within a host cell

31
Q

What are the characteristics of slow viral diseases?

A

-long incubation period between exposure and clinical disease development
-disease becomes increasingly severe until resulting in death
-pathology usually localized to one or two organ systems

32
Q

What are the characteristics of VISNA-MAEDI virus as a slow viral disease?

A

-lentivirus that persists in lymphocytes, monocytes, and macrophages
-primary replication in lung macrophages that can lead to dissemination in brain and deeper lung tissue
-severe dyspnea and secondary bacterial pneumonia occur
-eventually get inflammation of CNS, demyelination and meningitis, causing posterior paralysis

33
Q

What are the potential ways to prevent and control viral disease?

A

-hygiene/sanitation/PPE
-vaccination
-antiviral chemotherapy
