Study These Flashcards

Q

the porcine respiratory disease complex consists of

Study These Flashcards
A

stress factors + viruses + bacteria

21
Q

what are the viruses that contribute to the PRDC

Study These Flashcards
A

pseudorabies virus (PRV)
porcine respiratory and reproductive syndrome virus (PRRSV)
Swine influeza virus (SIV)
Porcine respiratory corona virus (PRCV)
Porcine circo virus (PCV-2

22
Q

Aujeszy disease virus is also called

Study These Flashcards
A

suid herpesvirus / pseudorabies

23
Q

how is suid herpesvirus spread

Study These Flashcards
A

nose to nose, sexual, inhalation of droplets/ aerosolized particles, contaminated objects can spread the virus

24
Q

what are the 4 steps of pathogenesis of suid herpesvirus in the natural host

Study These Flashcards
A
  1. primary replication in the resp tract
  2. entry into the pns neurons and establishment of latency in trigeminal ganglion
  3. replication in the lymph nodes and viremia
  4. secondary replication in the placenta
25
dog sitting and posterior paralysis is seen in young piglets due to which virus
suid herpes virus
26
what are the clinical signs of suid herpes virus in older piglets
fever, LOA, vomiting and neural signs (twitching, falling, convulsions, paralysis)
27
what are the clinical signs of suid in weaner pigs and grower/ finisher pigs
respiratory signs (coughing, sneezing, laboured breathing)
28
what are the clinical sings of suid in adult pigs
mild or not there, gilts and sows may have reproductive issues
29
what gross lesions would you expect to see in a piglet with suid
lung edema with hemorrhages, stomach hemorrhages, hyperemia and necrosis in the tonsils, leptomeningeal hyperemia
30
what is the pathogenesis of suid herpes virus in non natural hosts
1. primary replication in the resp tract 2. entry into the pns neurons and productive replication in the trigeminal ganglia
31
suid causes what in non natural hosts? how?
neuropathic itch "mad itch". the viruses replication in the pns neurons leads to synaptic transmission of neuro inflammatory signals to the brain and central inhibition of itch pathways is non function meaning the itch sensation cannot be stopped
32
what is the incubation period for PRV/SHV? when can the virus be isolated? when will antibodies be detectable?
2-5 days 8-25days 6-10 days
33
what family does swine influenza belong to
orthomyxoviridae
34
name the hosts of influenza A,B,C,D
A; animals and humans B; only humans but serological evidence in pigs C; humans, maybe seals and pigs D; primary host is cattle, but other animals as well, humans are seropositive
35
what are the clinical signs of swine influenza
coughing, nasal discharge, elevated temp, LOA
36
how do you dx SIV
nasal/ tonsil swabs RT-PCR, ELISA, Haemaggultination
37
what clinical signs do you see with Porcine circovirus type 2-si
lack of clinical signs with minimal histo lesions, but may see inclusion bodies in lymphoid tissue
38
what clinical signs do you see in PCV-2SD
weight loss and pale skin, moderate to severe lymphocyte depletion with granulomatous inflammation, high amounts of PCV-2 in lymphoid tissues
39
PCV2 reproductive disease causes what clinical signs
abortions or mummification, fibrous to necrotizing myocarditis of fetuses with moderate to high amounts of PCV-2 in the heart
40
Porcine dermatitis and nephropathy syndrome caused by PCVD causes
dark red papules and macules on skin mainly on the hind end and limbs, swollen pale kidneys, necrotizing vasculitis and necrotizing fibrinous glomerulonephritis
41
how do you arrive to a PCV2 dx
clinical hx or herd, post mortem findings, immunohistochemity for virus on lymphatic tissue, PCR, qPCR
42
porcine respiratory and reproductive syndrome virus causes
porcine epidemic abortaion and respiratory syndrome, mystery disease, blue ear disease, atypical PRRSV, swine infertility respiratory syndrome
43
PRRS pathogenesis
targets macrophages and has primary sites in the lungs and lymphoid tissues with many other organs like kidney spleen heart thymus repro tract....
44
where is PRRSV found in chronic phase
peripheral lymph nodes and tonsils
45
clinical signs of PRRSV
Reproductive issues, respiratory disease
46
how can we control PRRSV
herd immunity via vxs, prevent introduction of new strains via animal semen fomite vector and aerosol contact, to be prrsv free depopulation and repopulation wtih regular serological resting
