Causative agent of BVDWhat
Flavi (pesti)
RNA, E
Transmission of BVD (4)
Direct
I:fomites
Transplacental
Veneral
What immune response is triggered by noncpBVD?
humoral response
What immune response is triggered by cpBVD?
CMI
Where does BVD remain in P.I. males?
seminal vesicles & prostate
Outcome of BVD in pregnant cows
< 80 d= reabsorption
80-125 d = immunotolerant animal f
> 125 d = weak calf syndrome, cerebellar hypoplasia
What can happen to in P.I. calves w/ Mucosal Dz. (chronic BVD)?
- 6-18 mo. no CS
- superinfection w/ homologous BVD or mutation of noncp–> cp
- develop Acute MD
- develop Chronic MD
What is the GS for DX of BVD?
VI & cell culture followed by IF
Causative agent of Infectious Bovine Rhinotracheitis (IBR)?
BHV-1
DNA, E
Transmission of IBR
Direct or transplacental
Site of latency for IBR?
trigeminal ganglia
What drugs can reactivate IBR?
glucocorticoids
What can be seen on necropsy of aborted IBR fetuses?
microscopic necrotic foci only
3 big CS of IBR
hyperemic nasal mucosa –> pustular necrotic lesions
fetid breath
abortion late gestation (rare)
Does the attenuated IBR vax prevent dz?
NO!!
Causative agent of Caprine Arthritis Encephalitis (CAE)
Retro
RNA, E, dip
Transmission of CAE
colostrum or milk
Where are the lesions located at necropsy in CAE?
white matter of CNS
What can be seen in kids 2-4 mo. infected with CAE?
encephalomylitis
How will a goat infected w/ CAE present?
afebrile, alert, good appeptite & sight
lameness, wasting, trembling, dull hair coat
How do you protect kids from CAE?
no vax
separate kids from doe @ birth give heated colostrum/milk or cow colostrum (reduces by 90%)
Causative agent of scrapie?
PRIONS!!!
Where are lesions seen @ necropsy in Scrapie?
grey matter of CNS
NO Inflammation/immune response
Onset of Scrapie?
insidious (2-5 yrs)
