(124 cards)
what is the family and subfamily of canine herpes virus 1?
family: Herpesviridae
subfamily: Alphaherpesvirinae
you are presented with an adult dog who has mild rhinitis, vesicular vaginitis, and posthitis. the owner describes these signs as “on and off”.
what is your top differential?
canine herpes virus 1
what happens when a pregnant dog is infected with herpes virus?
early fetal loss, late term abortion, stillbirth, or birth of compromised neonates
you suspect canine herpes virus 1 in a neonatal dog that you are doing a necropsy on. what is a pathognomonic sign that you would expect to see grossly and histologically on the kidneys?
petechiae in renal cortex and radiating hemorrhage of renal pelvis.
histo: eosinophilic intracellular inclusions and tubular necrosis of parenchyma (this is in lungs too)
what organs show gross lesions when a dog is infected with canine herpes virus? what are the gross lesions?
kidney- petechiae / hemorrhage, necrosis
liver- necrosis and hemorrhage
lung- necrotizing interstitial pneumonitis
eyes- diffuse corneal oedema and mature cataract
brain- viral staining on histo
true or false: lesions of herpes virus in adult dogs are pathognomonic
false- pathognomonic in neonates
what does canine herpes virus look like histologically
Epithelial cells contain round, eosinophilic, intranuclear inclusion bodies surrounded by a clear halo and marginated chromatin
is there a vaccine for canine herpes?
nope
can colostrum protect puppy from herpesvirus ?
yes
how do adult dogs become infected with herpesvirus?
sexual or respiratory transmission
how do neonate dogs become infected with herpesvirus?
ingestion, inhalation, birth canal, contact, fomites
how can fetuses become infected with canine herpesvirus?
in utero
what is the structure and replication strat of canine herpes
enveloped ds DNA
what family and genus is infectious canine hepatitis (ICH) a part of?
family: adenoviridae
genus: mastadenovirus
what is the structure and replication strategy of infectious canine hepatitis ?
naked (with projecting fibres), dsDNA
which adenovirus is responsible for ICH?
CAV-1
what do the fibres on adenoviruses do?
- hemagglutinating activity
- mediate attachment of virus to cellular receptors
in what part of a cell do adenoviruses replicate?
nuclei
what is ICH susceptible to? what is it not susceptible to ?
susceptible to: iodine, phenol, sodium hydroxide, and heating for 5 mins
stable in environment (naked virus!)
which dogs are at risk of disease associated with ICH?
under one year or unvaccinated
during the acute phase of viral transmission of ICH, virus is excreted in ______, _____, and ______.
how long is the acute phase?
saliva, feces, and respiratory mucus
5-10 days
during the chronic phase of viral transmission of ICH, virus is excreted in ______.
how long is the chronic phase?
urine
10-14 days for up to 6-9 months
how is ICH transmitted?
contact with fomites, oronasal exposure, ectoparasites and vectors
what type of hypersensitivity is an arthus reaction? what canine disease is associated with this?
type 3 hypersensitivy
associated with infectious canine hepatitis
