Prehension disorders from infectious agents 2 - Coggle Diagram
Prehension disorders from infectious agents 2
Feline calicivirus
Pathogenesis
Virulent systemic disease
Hypervirulent
Highly pathogenic
Widespread disease
Bronchointerstitial pneumonia
Necrosis
Pancreatic, hepatic, splenic
Coagulopathy - bruising and bleeding
High mortality rates
Sudden death
Vaccines ineffective
Limping syndrome (uncommon)
Polyarthritis
Synovial membrane thickening
Increased synovial fluid
Cytopathic
Vesicle formation
Host Cell lysis releases virions
Ulcerations
Secondary bacterial infections
Oral cavity + nasal plate
Neutrophil infiltration
Prolonged carrier status: <2 years
Incubation :1-5 days
Feline gingivostomatis syndrome
Characteristics
Exogenous RNA non-enveloped genome
Antigenic variation
Virulent trophism
Mutation - avoid host immune response
Environmental stability
Niches
Oral; URT; Conjunctiva
Diagnosis
Clinical signs
Oral ulcers; facial oedema
Upper respiratory tract illness
Serous nasal discharge
Chemosis + conjuctivitis
Virulent systemic FCV associated
High fever, head and limb oedema
Hair loss, skin ulceration - ears, pawpads
Swabs for qRT-PCR; Viral culture
Immunohistochemistry
Control
Vaccination (F3)
Incomplete protection
Decreases disease severity
Disinfectants
Kills norovirus
Sodium hypochlorite
Bleach
Alcohol
1-propanol
70% ethanol
Foot and Mouth disease
Characteristics
Exogenous non-enveloped RNA genome
Environmental stability
<6 months
Antigenic variation
Vaccination limited
Evade host immune system
Multiple hosts
Cloven hoof animals
Pathogenesis
Cytopathic
Cell lysis in multiple body sites
Shedding of virus - large amounts
Highly infectious
Superficial locations
Cellular function shutdown
Highly infectious
Rapid replication (5-10 hrs)
Carrier status
Shedding precedes clinical signs
Diagnosis
Clinical signs
Fever; epithelial vesicles
Ruptured, ulcerated
Secondary bacterial infection
Sharp edges
Raw appearance, extensive fibrin infill
Pain - mouth, feet teats
Dental pad; tongue
Interdigital spaces (cloven foot)
Pig trotters more severely affected
Low mortaility, high morbidity
Young animals: Acute myocarditis
Treatment / mangement
Vaccines
Geographical serotype
Minimal cross protection
Short term immunity
Quarantine + culling
High infectivity
