Rinderpest (morbillivirus)
Malignant catarrhal fever (herpesvirus)
Feline calicivirus
Bluetongue (orbivirus)
What species is not susceptible to foot and mouth disease?
Horses
What are the (4) relevant causes of bacterial stomatitis?
Actinomycosis (lumpy jaw)
Actinobacillosis (wooden tongue)
Necrobacillosis (calf diphtheria)
Infectious stomatitis (mouth rot in reptiles)
What causes lumpy jaw?
Actinomyces bovis
What is the pathogenesis of lumpy jaw?
Actinomyces bovis
Normal oral bacteria
Invade through penetrating wounds
Destroy bone
Pyogranulomatous osteomylelitis
Deep stomatitis, disfigured mandible
What causes wooden tongue?
Actinobacillus lingnieresii
What does wooden tongue look like?
Actinobacillus lingnieresii
Deep infection of the tongue
Tongue can be very firm
Yellow granules exude from the ulcerated tongue surface - sulfur granules
What is the pathogenesis of necrobacillosis?
Fusobacterium necrophorum
Trauma to oral cavity (mechanical)
Primary viral infection by F. necrophorum
Coagulative necrosis
Focal or multifocal areas of oral necrosis
What is the pathogenesis of infectious stomatitis?
“Mouth rot”
Lizards, snakes, turtles
Stress –> immunosuppression –> normal bacterial overgrowth
