Cards

Term
Orthomyxoviridae Tropism
Definition
affinity for glycoproteins with sialic acid residues
tropism for respiratory and GI epithelium
Term
Influenza Types
Definition
Influenza A-of veterinary importance affects all species except cattle and cats
Term
Orthomyxoviridae Characteristics
Definition
enveloped, medium sized
protected in snot
ssRNA, negative sense
8 segments that encode for 10 proteins
Term
Hemagglutinin (H-protein)
Definition
viral attachment protein
neutralization target for Abs
virulence factor
uncoating within endosomal vesicle
H-protein must be cleaved to become biologically active
If virus replicates in cell that cannot cleave the H-protein, then progeny cannot be released
Term
Neuraminidase (N-protein)
Definition
free progeny from cell receptors
Cleaves sialic acid in mucous to try to get to cell surface
Term
Orthomyxoviridae Entry
Definition
receptor mediated endocytosis via cell receptors containing sialic acid residues
Term
Orthomyxoviridae Replication
Definition
Nucleus - RNA to mRNA then viral RNA replication and nucleocapsid assembly
Cytoplasm - maturation of viral progeny
Term
Orthomyxoviridae Incubation Period
Definition
short
Term
Orthomyxoviridae Transmission
Definition
aerosol, orofecal, waterfowl are reservoirs
Term
Orthomyxoviridae Pathogenesis
Definition
H-protein binds to VAP on cell
damages respirator epithelium and mucociliary apparatus
fever from IL-1 release
Term
Antigenic Drift
Definition
frequent mechanism of recurrent infection
non-lethal point mutations in H and N genes
results in progressive accumulation of mutations within one subtype
changes several epitopes to cause recurrent infections
Term
Antigenic Shift
Definition
infrequent mechanism of recurrent infection
genetic reassortment from 2 co-infecting viruses in a single cell
Term
Swine Influenza Signs
Definition
decreased weight gain
100% morbidity, low mortality
Term
Swine Influenza Control
Definition
increased problem due to PRRS
virus isolation and create autologous inactivated vaccine
protect against secondary infections
Term
Swine Influenza Serotype
Definition
H1N1
Term
Equine Influenza Serotypes (2)
Definition
H7N7
H3N8
Term
Equine Influenza Control
Definition
quarantine
disinfection
vaccinate every 3-6 months of inactivated vaccine
Term
Canine Influenza Serotype
Definition
Equine H3N8 virus
Term
Canine Influenza Control
Definition
quarantine
decontaminate
vaccinate those at risk
Term
Avian Influenza Characteristics
Definition
Flow Plaque
REPORTABLE
High path AI and Low Path AI determined by genotype and phenotype
Term
Avian Influenza Signs
Definition
decreased egg production
loss of export
acute respiratory disease
severe generalized disease (HPAI)
Term
Avian Influenza Transmission
Definition
from waterfowl
orofecal
mechanical from humans
Term
Avian Influenza Forms
Definition
Mild Form - low path AI
H-protein only able to be cleaved by proteases in RT and GI
limited local productive infectino

Virulent form -High Path AI
1 gene mutation in H-protein allows cleavage by many cellular proteases
