38
What is rednose?
Severe hyperemia and reddening of the muzzle
39
How does IBR effect the immune system?
Immunosupression
40
What immunosuppresive things does IBR do?
Defective neutrophil and alveolar macrophage function Decreased T-helper cell activity Destruction of ciliated respiratory epithelium
41
What is diagnosis of IBR based on?
History and clinical signs Histopath PCR Serologic tests
42
What will you find on histopath in patients with IBR?
intranuclear inclusions
43
What types of vaccines are available for IBR prevention?
Intranasal modified live, parenteral modified live, inactivated
44
What is the recommended IBR vaccination for pregnant cows?
Killed vaccines MLV vaccines are no longer recommended even if on label due to cases where the MLV vaccination is linked to abortions According to one of the assigned readings, The MLV vaccine should provide enough immunity if given pre-breeding
45
Parainfluenza 3 usually produces a relatively _____ disease in cattle and is most commonly associated with _______ ______.
mild; shipping fever
46
What does PI-3 predispose a cow to and why?
Bacterial pneumonia because it inhibits alveolar macrophage function and clearing of bacteria from the lungs
47
How is PI-3 infection diagnosed?
Histopath and IHC
48
Is there a vaccine for PI-3?
Yes - good vaccines are available and included with IBR vaccines and other immunizing products

What clinical signs are associated with BRSV?
Sudden onset of high fever (104-108 F), nasal discharge, and respiratory distress

77
What clinical signs are associated with hemorrhagic septicemia?
Fever, dullness, listlessness, and edema of the head, neck, and brisket
78
