25
How is Canine parvovirus transmitted? How is that different than the transmission of Feline Panleukopenia?
CPV is transmitted through ingestion whereas Feline Panleuk is transmitted through inhalation and ingestion
26
While Feline Panleuk virally replicates in the oropharynx and the _______, CPV virally replicates in the oropharynx and the ______
regional lymph nodes Peyer's patches
27
Destruction of infected cells from CPV results in villous atrophy as does Feline Panleuk however destruction of cells from Feline Panleuk also causes ______ whereas CPV causes
panleukopenia immune suppression
28
What are the clinical signs of CPV and how are they similar to Feline Panleukopenia?
depression, vomiting, bloody diarrhea, and the difference is fetal death through myocardial necrosis - panleuk has intention tremors from cerebellar ataxia
29
In Feline Panleukopenia death occurs secondary to dehydration and secondary infections. What does death occur secondary to in CPV
Dehydration and endotoxemia
30
What is the main issue with Porcine Parvovirus?
reproductive failure
31
While sows are immune to porcine parvovirus in endemic farms, gilts are not. When might they be susceptible?
During mating and pregnancy
32
In porcine parvovirus, when does transplacental infection occur?
10-14 days after infection
33
In porcine parvovirus, when does damage to the fetus usually occur during gestation?
Before 70 days - before fetus develops immunity
34
In Porcine Parvovirus, what determines the outcome of a fetus?
Age
35
In the case of Porcine Parvovirus, explain how the age will effect the outcome. What will the outcome be if embryos are infected, infection before day 70 and after day 70. What is the mnemonic to remember this?
Infected embryos = resorption and infertility Before day 70 = still birth or mummification After day 70 = pigs are born alive and healthy Stillbirth Mummification Early embryonic Death Infertility
36
Which species is parvovirus primarily enteric?
canine and feline
37
In which species will there be some fetal death and abortion?
canine and feline
38
Which species is more likely to have panleukopenia?
feline
39
In utero infection in cats can result in ________
cerebellar hypoplasia
40
Which species has primarily reproductive issues associated with parvovirus?
porcine
41
Which species has SMEDI syndrome?
Porcine
42
Why can different piglets from the same sow have different outcomes?
Each fetus has own placenta
43
Unlike DNA viruses, which virus replicates in the cytoplasm?
poxvirus
44
Instead of intranuclear inclusions what do poxviruses form?
intracytoplasmic inclusions
45
Which virus is the largest virus that cause disease in domestic animals?
Poxviruses
46
Are poxviruses enveloped or non-enveloped? Double stranded or single stranded?
enveloped, double stranded
47
In what conditions are poxviruses stable?
Dry conditions
48
What are 3 ways in which poxviruses can be transmitted?
aerosol direct mechanical (insects)
49
What does infection of poxviruses usually result in? Why?
Raised skin lesions that progress into scabs due to viral proteins (epidermal growth factor) released leading to epidermal proliferation
50
In poxvirus, endothelial infection results in ______
vasculitis
51
In poxvirus, generalized infection results in cell-associated viremia. Explain systematic infection vs local infection
systemic - results in life long immunity localized - develop transient immunity and recurrence is possible
52
What does Capripox cause?
generalized infection and characteristic skin lesions

sheep and goat causes lumpy skin dx in cattle
55
What are the 3 types of avipox?
fowl pigeon turkey
56
What species does fowl pox affect?
chickens and turkeys
57
What does Fowl pox cause
lesions on the head and oral mm
58
What is Fowl pox transmitted by?
biting arthropods
59
What does suipoxvirus cause and what is it transmitted by?
causes mild skin dx transmitted by pig louse
60
What virus is transmittable to humans?
parapoxvirus
61
What are the 3 types of parapoxviruses?
orf bovine papular stomatitis pseudocowpox
62
What species is affected by: -Orf -Bovine papular stomatitis -pseudocowpox

Where are lesions found in orf parapoxvirus?
around muzzle and lips
64
Where are lesions found in bovine papular stomatitis?
muzzle, tongue, esophagus
65
Where are lesions found in pseudocowpox?
on teat
66

rabbit myxoma virus squirrel fibroma virus
68
What species is the natural host for rabbit myxoma virus?
cottontail rabbits
69
Which type of rabbits develop severe dx in response to rabbit myxoma virus? Which develop mild disease?
mild - cottontail severe - european
70
European rabbits develop severe disease from rabbit myxoma virus what are the clinical signs?
swelling of facial and periocular tissues
71
What species is affected by Squirrel fibroma virus and what does it cause?
fibromas in squirrels
72
Which virus results in epithelial proliferation and vasculitis?
poxvirus
73
Which virus are considered foreign animal diseases?
capripoxviruses
74
Which virus infects fibroblasts leading to fibroblast proliferation?
leporipoxviruses
75
Which viruses are considered host specific?
poxviruses
76
Most disease is cutaneous but systemic infection can occur especially in which virus?
capripoxviruses
