Q

What three things do both BOHV-1 and BOHV-5 have in common?

A
  • Infect the epithelial cells at the portal of entry
  • Establish a latent infection in the sensory nerve ganglia

Q

What is the recovery for BOHV-2 like?

Study These Flashcards
A

It is usually a full recovery with completely ormal udders
* even if the presentation is severe
* only providing any secondary infections/ mastitis can be controlled

19
Q

What is found on the muzzles of calves whos heifers have BOHV-2?

Study These Flashcards
A

presence of ulcers

20
Q

What is the incubation period of BOHV-2?

Study These Flashcards
A

2-4 days with a seroconversion of 7-14 days

21
Q

Name 4 clinical signs of BOHV-2

Study These Flashcards
A
  1. High fever for 4-5 days
  2. Red appearance of the nasal mucosa/ nasal discharge
  3. Heavy breathing and Cough
  4. Abortion 4-8 months
22
Q

Where are the viral lesions of BOHV-2 usually found?

Study These Flashcards
A

Foetal liver and placenta

23
Q

What does severe BOHV-2 infection lead to?

Study These Flashcards
A

orchitis (swollen testes) and endometritis in the cow
usually recover within 2 weeks

24
Q

What are the three main symptoms of EHV-1/ 4?

Study These Flashcards
A
  • Respiratory disease
  • Abortion
  • Neurological form= equine myelencephalopathy
25
What is the treatment for EHV-1/EHV-4?
* Antibiotics to prevent a secondary bacterial infection * Vaccination is also available
26
Name 3 neurological symptoms of EHV-1 infection
* Hindlimb incoordinaton * Urinary and faecal retention * Loss of sensation in the perineum and tail
27
What is the main pathogenesis of EHV-1? | they replicate in several cells including...
* Leukocytes, such as myeloid cells CD8 T cells * Trigeminal ganglia * Endothelial cells (only EHV-1 replication site)
28
What causes the endothelial cell damage from EHV-1?
* Viral replication * Immune responses * Immune-Complex association
29
What is the in-utero consequence of EHV-1?
Vasculitis, Abortion
30
What is the in-brain consequence of endothelial cell damage in EHV-1?
Vasculitis, endothelial damage, ganglio and neuropathy- paresis/ paralysis
31
What charcterises Aujeskys disease? | overall central nervous system signs
* hind-leg paralyis * meningo-encephalitis * high mortality in young animals * respiratory illness in older pigs * 50% abortion in a susceptible herd
32
How is AUJESZKY’S DISEASE transmissed between pigs?
* Nose to nose * Feed * Aerosols * Iatrogenic
33
How is AUJESZKY’S DISEASE transmissed to other animals?
* Consumption of pig meat * rats can also transmit between farms
34
What are the symptoms of canin herpesvirus in sexually mature dogs?
* Genital disease * abortion/ stillbirth * Vaginal/preputial discharge * Focal nodular lesion of the vaginal, preputial and penile epithelium
35
How is CHV in puppies usually transmissed?
* By the infected mother during birth * Contact with infected saliva/ nasal secretion * sometimess aerosols
36
What are the clinical signs of CHV in puppies?
* Haemorrhage of blood vessels * General weakness/crying * abdominal pain * nasal and ocular discharges * excessive drooling * yellow faeces/ diarrhoea
37
When does CHV cause death in puppies?
When they become hypothermic * Virus is adapted to 33 degrees * viral replication in the vascular endothelial cells of blood vessels * keeping puppies warm improves the prognosis
38
How would you prevent CHV infection from the mother to the puppies?
* Vaccinate mother whilst she is in heat, during early pregnancy and then 14 days before giving birth | doesnt eliminate the risk to unborn pups but it does minimise it
39
What is the most common type of anti-herpesvirus drug?
nucloeside analogues (anti-herpesviral agents)
40
Name two antivirals that can be used for the helicase
1. Pritelivir 2. Amenamivir
41
Name 5 anti-virals that can be used for the polymerase
1. Famiciclovir 2. Acyclovir 3. Ciclofovir 4. Foscarnet 5. Ganciclovir
42
How does acyclovir work?
* Acyclovir incorporate itself into the chain * it has no 3' hydroxyl so the chain cannot continue | called chain termination
43
How often is acyclovir given?
3/4 times a day over a short period of time
