Herpes + IBR + Bovine Herpes Mamilitis + Inclusion Body Rhinitis of Swine + MCF Flashcards

Herpesviruses are good antigens
F
Alphaherpesviruses are host specific slowly multiplying (>24hrs) viruses
F
Alpha = Fast replication → Rapid destruction of host cells + Boarder Host Range
Beta = Slower replication + More limited host range
Gamma = Variable replication → Very limited host range
Alphaherpesviruses may cause latent infection in neurons or ganglia
T
Some herpesviruses have a broad host spectrum (euryxen
T
alphaherpesvirinae
Gammaherpesviruses may cause latent infection in neurons of ganglia
F
Herpes viruses are resistant to detergents
F
Enveloped with low resistance
Herpesviruses are sensitive to detergents
T
Herpesviruses are generally weak antigens
T
Herpesviruses can cause latent persistent infections
T
Herpesviruses are typically stenoxen viruses, but there are significant exceptions
T
Herpesviruses are strong antigens, therefore single vaccinations provide lifelong protection
F
Herpesviruses are enveloped viruses, therefore they are sensitive to detergents
T
Because the genome of herpesviruses is very stable, no attenuated mutant vaccine strains are available
F
Not stable we have deletion and point mutations on the genome
Infectious bovine vulvovaginitis virus strains cause abortions and foetal deformities
F
Sporadic abortions yes but not together with IPV
Also never foetal deformities (monsters)
Herpesvirus infections frequently result in latent virus carry
T
Herpesviruses usually cause latent infections and life-long virus carries
T
Infectious bovine rhinotracheitis virus can cause abortion
T
The use of marker vaccines can help the eradication of infectious bovine rhinotracheitis virus
T
Marker vaccines together with selection procedure if seropositive are more than 10% of the total tested
The most frequently used eradication strategy for IBRV is selection with the help of marker vaccines
T
Marker vaccines can be used in IBRV eradication programs in cattle farms
T
Antibodies against infectious bovine rhinotracheitis virus (IBRV) might be detected in the milk
T + blood/serum
Also sampling for direct detection can be:
semen + vaginal discharges + ocular discharges + nasal discharges
Conjunctivitis and blepharitis are signs of infectious bovine rhinotracheitis
T
The infectious bovine rhinotracheitis virus (IBRV) causes haemorrhagic gastroenteritis
F
IBR causes cns (L-TOD) + resp + repro
Infectious bovine rhinotracheitis virus also causes mastitis in cows
