Q

Bovine Leukocyte Adhesion Deficiency

A
  • single point mutation in CD18 gene: aspartic acid to glycine
  • impaired expression of the beta 2 integrin adhesion molecules on the surface of WBC; without them WBC are unable to travel to sight of infection and help fight

Q

Why is FIV described as latent?

A

Part of the virus integrates into the cell genome causing the cell to produce the virus and act as a reservoir making it hard to remove. Even when the cat recovers, he is asymptomatic

25
What was the first vaccine made to combat?
small pox
26
Vaccine
preparation that induces and/or improves the antibody or cell mediated immune response against a pathogen
27
immunization
generate protection in a controlled manner prior to exposure to a harmful agent
28
What are the 3 types of immunization that induce acquired immunity?
1) active immunization 2) passive immunization 3) adoptive transfer
29
Active immunization
immunity developed by the administration of antigen
30
Passive immunization
immunity developed by transferring antibody from an immunized individual to a non-immunized individual
31
Adoptive transfer
immunity developed by transferring immune cells from an immunized individual to non-immunized individual
32
Attenuated vaccine
contains live modified organisms
33
killed vaaccine
the pathogen is killed
34
toxoid
non-toxic derivative of a toxin used as immunogen
35
What is an example of a toxoid?
tetanus
36
subunit vaccine
only a portion of the pathogen is used to create an immune response
37
Conjugate vaccine
poorly immunogenic compounds are linked to proteins to make them more immunogenic
38
monovalent/polyvalent vaccines
monovalent vaccines vaccinate against 1 antigen; polyvalent vaccinate against more than 1
39
How do vaccines work?
- provide portions of pathogen to host to induce immune response - provides time to develop immunity prior to potential challenge by pathogen
40
Health
a state of physical, psychological, and production well-being
41
Disease
abnormality of structure or fxn with an identifiable pathological basis and with a recognizable syndrome of clinical signs
42
Morbidity
a condition of being diseased
43
Mortality
quality of being moral; death
44
Disease prevalence
total # of cases of the disease in a specific population at a specific time
45
Disease incidence
of new cases of a disease in a specific population at a specific time
46
Epidemiological surveillance
the discipline of continuously gathering, analyzing and interpreting data about diseases and communicating to organizations
47
Why is epidemiological surveillance important?
prevention and control of disease
48
What are the 3 principles of a surveillance program?
1. collect and assess data 2. transfer data 3. apply data: prevention or treatment
49
What are the 2 categories of testing?
1. clinical exam 2. diagnostic and screening exam
50
Screening
the presumptive identification of unrecognizable disease or defect by the application of tests
51
What is the purpose of screening tests?
sort animals into healthy vs not healthy
52
What are the 3 formats of screening tests?
1. mass screening 2. selective screening 3. multiple screening
53
Multiple screening
combining single screening tests on selective groups in a population
54
What are diagnostic tests based on?
Sensitivity and/or specificity
55
Sensitivity
ability for a test to identify a sick animal
56
Specificity
ability for a test to identify a healthy animal
57
SNOUT
sensitivity high, rule out
58
SPIN
specificity high, rule in
59
Innate immunity
all bodily constituents an organism is born with and will always have available to protect - rapid, non-specific, no memory
60
Acquired immunity
more specialized defense that requires initial contact with a pathogen
61
3 innate immunity mechanisms
1) phagocytosis helpers = opsonin which acts as a complement 2) extracellular killing via natural killer cells 3) biologically active substances
62
4 cell types of acquired immunity
1) B cells 2) T cells 3) Antigen presenting cells: dendritic cells and macrophages 4) lymphocytes
63
B cells
produce immunoglobins (antibodies) that bind to specific antigens - humoral immunity - IgG etc.
64
T cells
- cell mediated - T-helper, T-regulatory, Cytotoxic T cells - tell B cells to produce antibodies
65
Primary antibody response
- lag period: days - months (no memory B cells) - low antibody production - mainly IgM response
66
Secondary antibody response
- lag period: only days (memory B cells) - high antibody levels with better binding affinity to antigens - mainly IgG, IgA, IgE
67
Herd immunity
protection to everyone in a community by high vaccination rates; provides protection to those unable to receive vaccinations
68
What is the herd immunity rule for ag-vet med vs human med?
- vet med: 70% - human med: 80%
69
What are 5 reasons for vaccine avoidance
1. critical 2. religion 3. political 4. sanitary 5. scientific
70
Marker Vaccines
aka DIVA vaccines: Differentiating Infected from Vaccinated Animals (using serology) - structural proteins = vaccinated - non-structural proteins = infected
