Q

How is canine adenovirus-1 shed?

A

In urine

19
Q

How is canine adenovirus-1 prevented?

A

Antigenically similar to CAV-1, confers cross-protective immunity and used as vaccine virus in the core vaccine for dogs
CAV-2 in core vaccine is also shed in urine leading to secondary “vaccination” and herd immunity

20
Q

What symptoms are caused by equine adenovirus-1,2?

A

Inapparent respiratory infections in normal horses
Pneumonia, systemic spread to pancreas, kidneys, bladder, and GI tract in immunocompromised hosts (e.g. severe combine immunodeficiency in Arabians)

21
Q

What are other examples of miscellaneous adenoviruses?

A

Bovine (inapparent or mild respiratory disease)
Swine
Ovine
Caprine
Rabbits (diarrhea)

22
Q

What etiologic agent causes adenovirus hemorrhagic disease of deer?

A

Cervine adenovirus (odocoileus adenovirus-1)

23
Q

What disease does cervine adenovirus cause?

A

Adenovirus hemorrhagic disease of deer

24
Q

What is the host range of cervine adenovirus?

A

Cervidae (black-tailed deer, mule deer, white-tailed deer, moose, pronghorn)
Described in captive fawns and free-ranging animals of different ages

25
Q

How is cervine adenovirus transmitted?

A

Direct contact with infected animals, contaminated fomites

26
Q

What are differential diagnoses associated with cervine adenovirus?

A
