Term
adenovirus genome =
Definition
dsDNA

approx 40proteins (10x moe than parvovirus)
Term
canine adenovirus 1 =
Definition
infectious hepatitis
Term
canine adenovirus 2 =
Definition
infectious tracheo-bronchitis (kennel cough)
Term
adenovirus infection in deer =
Definition
haemorrhagic vasculitis and pulm oedema
Term
adenovirus infection in foals =
Definition
SCID (severe combined immundoeficiency)
Term
ENV?
Definition
no!!
Term
capsid of adnovirus =
Definition
icosahedral with spike proteuns at each vertex/edge - look like drumsticks sticking out of virus
Term
spike proteins=
Definition
adhesion proteins to attach to host cell
Term
early/intermediate genes =
Definition
virus isnt replicating, not killing cell, just intefereing with cell
Term
early/intermediate genes function =
Definition
1. cell progression (DNA synth)
2. interfere with action of host p53 enzyme (tumour supressor protein)
3. protect cell from TNF (inhibit TNF)
4. decr MHC I expression = immune evasion
Term
some adenoviruses can form ______ infections with reactivation following _______ _________
Definition
latent
immune supression
Term
late genes =
Definition
-involved in shutting down host cell protein synth = kill host cell
-structural viral proteins synthesised in XS
Term
empty or complete virus capsids cause...
Definition
....large crystalline arrays in host cell nucleus
Term
adenovirus leaves cell via
Definition
lysis
Term
canine adenovirus 1 (CAV1) infects
Definition
dogs
wild canines
skunks
bears
Term
CAV1 replication occurs in...
Definition
...host cell nucleus - can see inclusion bodies in ohst cell nucleus
Term
CAV1 infects...
Definition
...kidney and liver cells
Term
symptoms of CAV1 infection depend on...
Definition
...virus strain
cell type infected
extent of infection
Term
CAV1 enters host via...
Definition
...oropharynx
Term
peracute (sudden onset of dz) CAV1 infection =
Definition
generalised infection of young niave animals, massive destruction of hepatocytes, huge inflam response = rapid death
Term
subacute (between acute and chronic) CAV1 infection
Definition
fever
conjunctivitis
nasal dishcarge
abdo pain (can palpate large painful liver)

in more severe cases :
-petichiae of mucosa
-bleeding
-DIC
-leucopaenia (decr WBCs)
-V+ and bloody D+
-jaundice

protracted/long recovery time with slow weight gain
Term
why do you get bleeding disorders with CAV1 infection?
Definition
damage liver = decr clotting factors (made in liver) = haemorrhage = use up clotting factors = bleeding problems such as petichiae and DIC
Term
chronic CAV1 infection =
Definition
-due to Ab/virus complexes due to XS production of late viral proteins
-commonly manifests as corneal oedema (blue eye)
-may cause glomerular nephritis = loss of kidney function = proteinuria
Term
CAV2 infection confined to...
Definition
....oropharynx
Term
CAV2 is part of...
Definition
...kennel cough syndrome (like canine parainfluenza virus 2)
Term
clincial signs of CAV2 infection =
Definition
conjuncticitis
discharge from nose

could be CAV2, CDV or acute hepatitis (CAV1) therefore dx is v imp to see if serious dz or not
Term
dx of CAV =
Definition
histopathology
serology
haemagglutination inhibition test
PCR
Term
CAV vacc?
Definition
1. live attenuated type 1
2. live attenuated type 2
Term
live attenuated type 1 vacc =
Definition
originally used
can cause corneal oedema and maybe glomerula nephritis, as qu aggressive vacc
Term
live attenuated type 2 vacc =
Definition
universally replaced live attenuated type 1.

-sufficiently close to CAV 1 to provide cross protection and also protects against CAV2 kennel cough :) = 2in1vacc
Term
extensive use of the live attenuated type 2 vacc has resulted in.....
Definition
the virtual dissappearance of severe forms of dz
