Q

How are low path and high path AI differentiated?

A

By inoculating susceptible chickens. HPAI causes death in 6/8 or more while LPAI do not result in death

Q

What are the lesions of HPAI infection?

A

extensive, severe
fibrinous eudates on air sacs, oviduct, pericardial sac, or peritoneum. may have foci of necrosis. SIGNS OF VASCULAR DAMAGE–cyanosis and edem of head, ulceration of comb, edema of feet, petechiation etc

17
Q

How is avian influenza diagnosed?

A

Clinical signs, lesions, history

confirmation with serology and virus detection

18
Q

How is LPAI prevented?

A

prevent exposure to influenza virus via contact with waterfowl, shorebirds, live bird markets, swine farms

19
Q

How is avian influenza controlled?

A
  1. biosecurity
  2. serologic monitoring
  3. vaccination once the subtype IDed in an outbrea
20
Q

Is avian influenza zoonotic?

A

Infection of humans rare but can happen

21
Q

What is newcastle disease?

A

a viral disease of many kinds of birds. It has lentogenic, mesogenic and velogenic strains that cause different clinical signs

22
Q

What are the signs associated with lentogenic strains of newcastle disease?

A

little or no signs

23
Q

What are the signs associated with mesogenic strains?

A
  1. resp signs, CNS signs, high mortality

2. sudden drop in egg production, low mortality in layers

24
Q

What are the signs associated with velogenic strains?

A

Marked respiratory signs–dyspnea, diarrhea, paralysis, death

25
Q

What is the OIE definition of new castle disease?

A

an inection of poultry caused by an avian strain of paramyxovius 1 with an intracerebral pathogenicity index in day old chicks greater than 0.7

26
Q

What is the occurance of new castle disease?

A

in chickens, sometimes turkeys. ALL age groups susceptible

27
Q

Is new castle disease zoonotic?

A

humans in contact with disease for first time can develop localized eye infection conjunctivitis

28
Q

How can new casatle disease be spread?

A

Infected birds birds including wild birds. Excretions (aerosols and feces) and can contaminate tools, clothing ec

29
Q

What are the lesions with lentogenic and mesogenic new castle disease?

A

minimal. may have mild airsacculitis, conjunctivits, tracheitis.

30
Q

What are the lesions with velogenic new castle disease?

A
  1. hemorrhage and necrosis of trachea, inflammation of airsacs
  2. hemorrhagic or focal necrotic lesions in mucosa of digestive tractu, often the lymphoid tissue–cecal tonsils are often encrotic and hemorrhagic. sometimes hemorrhages in proventriculus etc
31
Q

How is new castle disease diagnosed?

A
  1. history
  2. signs
  3. lesions
  4. lab confirmation
32
Q

What is the control for new castle disease

A
  1. immunization. does not prevent virus repllication and shed
33
Q

Is new castle disease reportable?

A

yes
