Q

Pathogenesis - CRID

A

infection of respiratory epithelial cells (viruses or bordatella) - cell damage (viral and bacterial toxins) - inhibition of ciliary clearance (by damage to ciliated cells) - potential secondary bacterial infections (Strep., Pasteurella) - different mix of infectious agents may produce same CS.

A 
Usually apparent 3-7 days after exposure
Cough (dry or productive)
Retching (especially exericse or lead)
Nasal +/- ocular discharge
Sneezing

Q

Diagnosis - non-resolving (>2 weeks) systemic (pyrexia) CRID - 6

A

BACTERIAL ISOLATION - test for AB sensitivity
VIRAL ISOLATION or PCR - rule out distemper
BOTH of above on tracheo-bronchial wash or deep pharyngeal swab
SEROLOGY - paired for rising titre
FAECAL SMEAR/SEROLOGY - rule out Angiostrongylus
HAEMATOLOGY - neutrophilia
RADIOGRAPHY or RHINOSCOPY - to investigate other potential causes such as HF, FB or tumour metastasis.

Q

Tx - CRID - 4

Q

Prevention - CRID

A

Prevent or reduce severity and length of disease (B. bronchiseptica, parainfluenza and adenovirus). BUT other infectious agents cause or contribute to CRID complex and vaccinated animals may still develop disease.

Q

What are the 2 types of vaccine available against respiratory viruses?

A

PARENTERAL - high Ab titre (IgG mainly), on mucosal surfaces IgA and IgG much lower
INTRANASAL - stimulate mostly IgA, mostly on mucosal surface, serum IgG produced but less than parenteral

Q

Disadvantages - intranasal vaccines - 2

A

Shorter duration of immunity

Difficult to administer to uncooperative dogs.

21
Q

Role of IgA

A

Neutralises Ag on cell surface

Neutralises intracellular Ag.

22
Q

Describe the B.bronchiseptica vaccine

A

Live, attenuated,
At least 5 days before kenneling (often compulsory)
Short-lived immunity
Strains are old, may be different from current field isolates

23
Q

Describe CPIV vaccine

A

Live, attenuated
Either in systemic combination vaccine or available for intranasal application with Bordatella
Annual booster recommendations questionable

24
Q

T/F: CAV 1 and 2 cross protectec

A

True - therefore systemic vaccines containing either offer cross-protection

25
Q

Outline husbandry for KC

A
  • Isolation
  • Clean and disinfect
  • Good ventilation
  • Isolate newcomers
  • Avoid high population density
26
Q

What type of virus is CDV?

A

A morbillivirus - these cause immunosuppression leading to secondary infections.

27
Q

How is CDV transmitted?

A

Shed in all body fluids. Spreads by aerosol or close contact (RNA virus)

28
Q

Pathogenesis - CDV

A

VIrus enters respiratory tract - spreads to tonsils and local LNs - infects monocytes/macrophages - viraemia and systemic dissemination - 2-3 weeks after infection dogs are able to develop a good humoral and cellular immune response and will recover from a mild form of the disease. In dogs with an insufficient immune response, CDV spreads to other epithelial cells (respT, GIT and genitourinary tract and CNS).

29
Q

What usually kills and animal with CDV?

A

the secondary infection

30
Q

Clinical signs - CDV

A 
Nasal and ocular discharge
Cough
Diarrhoea
Vomiting
Depression 
Anorexia
CNS signs
31
Q

What are the CNS signs of CDV?

A
  • Seizures, incoordination, paresis/paralysis, mm tremors
  • Ocular lesions (retinal degeneration, optic neuritis)
  • Neuronal destruction
  • Demyelination (especially where CNS signs have a late onset)
  • Sometimes develop without obvious other (i.e. respiratory) causes of distemper
32
Q

What is ‘hard pad’ and ‘hard nose’ disease?

A

Hyperkeratosis of the foot pads and nose caused by some CDV strains

33
Q

What are ‘distemper teeth’?

A

In dogs that develop distemper before they have their permanent teeth –> hypoplasia of the enamel (infection of the ameloblasts)

34
Q

Diagnosis - CDV - 6

A
  • CS and Hx
  • HAEMATOLOGY - lymphopaenia (virus replication in LT)
  • SEROLOGY: IgM indicative of recent infection
  • VIRUS ISOLATION/PCR: specialist laboratories
  • IMMUNOFLUORESCENCE: on conjunctival smears
  • CSF: detect specific CDV antigen in dogs with neuro signs.
35
Q

Treatment - CDV

A

AB - prevent secondary infections (often succumb to bacterial pneumonia)
Fluids
Sedatives, anti-convulsive drugs
CNS signs may improve with time

36
Q

What other species is highly susceptible to CDV?

A

Ferrets

37
Q

Prevention/control of CDV

A

Live attenuated vaccine widely available
Protocol: 8 weeks, 10-12 weeks and 1 year. Boost every 2 years.
Control: isolation and disinfection

38
Q

Where did canine influenza virus (CIV) originate?

A

USA racing greyhounds. Some developed mild respiratory disease. A third died from haemorrhagic pneumonia. Closely related to equine influenza virus H3N8 (all segments of viral genome derived from this). This indicates DIRECT TRANSFER of equine virus rather than reassortment.

39
Q

How is CIV spread between dogs?

A

Dog to dog contact (droplets, aerosols)

40
Q

Is CIV present in the UK?

A

No - currently all serological studies are negative here. Vaccine now licensed in the USA.

41
Q

What is the relationship between Streptococci and the URT?

A

Found in normal URT.
Beta-haemolytic and is highly virulent in the lung (in lancefield group C which is the most pathogenic due to its M protein, toxins, capsule and superantigen)

42
Q

Describe Streptococcus equi subsp. zooepidemicus as a respiratory pathogen

A

Relatively common in horses (abortion and low-grade URT disease). Recent years has been increasingly reported in dogs. Unknown if outbreaks are linked to contact with horses (looking more unlikely)

43
Q

Clinical signs - Streptococcus equi subsp. zooepidemicus - 3

A

pyrexia
haemorrhagic nasal discharge
sudden death

44
Q

What would a PME of a dog with Streptococcus equi subsp. zooepidemicus show? 2

A

severe necro-haemorrhagic and fibrino-suppurative bronchopneumonia. (lung becomes consolidated and fills with blood/oedema etc. Thoracic cavity usually full of blood. Animal dies due to drowning.

45
Q

How is Streptococcus equi subsp. zooepidemicus spread?

A

Dog to dog contact
Probably bu fomites
Horse to dog looking less likely

46
Q

Diagnosis - Streptococcus equi subsp. zooepidemicus - 2

A

Streptococcus equi subsp. zooepidemicus isolation from lung samples or swabs (nasal discharge). Soon a rapid PCR test will be available.

47
Q

Treatment -Streptococcus equi subsp. zooepidemicus

A

IV fluids and ABs (intensive care, if ID early)

48
Q

Is Streptococcus equi subsp. zooepidemicus zoonotic??

A

YES

49
Q

Mortality for Streptococcus equi subsp. zooepidemicus

A

High mortality due to sudden onset. That said, there are increasing numbers of ‘carrier’ animals.
