25
T/F: all three subtypes of BHV1 share Ag properties so the vaccination offers cross protection?
TRUE
26
What age is BHV1 most commonly seen?
In calves >6 months of age
27
What is a common way to dx BHV1?
Nasal swabs for viral isolation
28
What two respiratory diseases lead to mucosal sloughing?
BHV1 and Bovine Viral Diarrhea Virus
29
What are some CS of BHV1?
Fever, rhinitis, conjunctivitis, labored breathing, hyperemia of muzzle, pustules and diphtheretic plaques Primary lung lesions NOT seen
30
Parainfluenza-3 most commonly affects what type of cells and in what location?
Epithelial cells of upper respiratory tract | Damage to mucociliary transport leading to mild bronchitis
31
What is a characteristic sound produced in PI-3?
Tracheal rales
32
What will be found on PM exam from a calf with PI-3?
Mild interstitial pneumonia | Intracytoplasmic inclusion in mucosa
33
When is bovine coronavirus most commonly seen?
Post stressful event | Can commonly contribute to development of calf scours
34
In patients with bovine respiratory syncytial virus, the lungs cannot fully expand with air, what is a result of this?
Pulmonary emphysema and SQ emphysema
35
What group of cattle does BRSV most commonly occur in?
YOUNG CATTLE- 3-12 months old (unvaccinated)
36
What is a potential reproductive effect associated with BRSV and what causes it?
Abortions caused by pyrexia
37
What is a common diagnostic test done for BRSV?
IHC of lung tissue
38
What is the most common subtype of BVD seen in the US?
1b
39
Who is the most important reservoir for BVD?
PI calves | These calves are infected in-utero, born infected, and immunotolerant to BVD that causes infection in other calves/cows
40
What is the gold standard dx test for BVD and what is our source of collection?
Virus isolation through nasal swabs
41
What is the most common pathogen associated with shipping fever?
mannheimia haemolytica
42
When is a soft cough seen with mannheimia haemolytica infection?
6-10 days post stressful event
43
Why is there high mortality seen w/ mannheimia haemolytica?
Bronchial obstruction w/ fibrinous exudates
44
What does mannheimia haemolytica cause?
Severe fibrinous pleuropneumonia
45
What pathology is seen with the lung lobes on necropsy of a patient with mannheimia haemolytica?
Cranioventral lung lobe pathology | Dark reddish-black to grayish-brown and firm with marked distention of interlobular septae by gelatinous yellow fluid
46
What is the second most common pathogen associated with shipping fever?
Pasteurella mulocida
47
What does pasteurella multocida cause?
Fibrinopurulent bronchopneumonia | "Pus former"-multiple coalescing abscesses are common
48
This bacteria causes excess fibrin on pleural surface of lungs within 2 weeks of arrival in feedlot leading to bronchopneumonia
Histophilus somni
49
What are the two species of mycoplasma that are common?

Also known as "Fog Fever"
Acute bovine pulmonary emphysema
56
What is the pathophysiology of Fog Fever?
3-methylindole causes extensive and selective necrosis of bronchiolar cells and type I pneumocytes and increases alveolar permeability leading to edema, thickening of alveolar interstitium and interstitial emphysema
