-primary target cell = MN
-lesions in multiple organs with numerous haemorrhage --> DIC --> death
Term
Nidovirales
Definition
An order of viruses.
Includes the families:
-Coronavirus

-Porcine Haemagllutinating Encephalomyelitis
-Feline Infectious Peritonitis
Term
Transmissible Gasteroenteritis
Definition
-Coronavirus enteritis / diarrhoea of pigs, virus infects villi enterocytes
-yellow, fluid diarrhoea and dehydration
Term
Porcine Epidemic Diarrhoea
Definition
-Coronavirus enteritis / diarrhoea of pigs, v. similar to TGE but less severe
Term
Porcine Haemagglutinating Encephalomyelitis
Definition
-Coronavirus of pigs = Vomiting and Wasting dz i.e. not enteritis / diarrhoea
Term
Feline Infectious Peritonitis (FIP)
Definition
-condition of cats which occurs following infection w. a coronavirus which has a change in cell tropism and is able to replicate in macrophages

-Rotavirus
-Orbivirus
Term
Rotavirus
Definition
A virus of the reoviridae family
-commonest cause of enteritis and diarrhoea in neonates
-virus releases a toxin - inhibits symporter of glucose and Na and causes release of Ca++ from ER into cytoplasm

e.g. Louping ill
All viruses are arbovirus
Term
Louping ill
Definition
-caused by Flavivirus
-tick-borne
-primary vireamia, if prolonged get secondary vireamia:
-non-suppurative encephalomyelitis, resulting in CNS signs, progress to coma and death
Term
Bovine Viral Diarrhoea Virus (BVDV)
Definition
"1 virus, many diseases"
-immunosuppressive
-inf. w. non-pathogenic form often has no clinical signs
-occasionally mod-severe outbreaks (more pathogenic strain / cytopathic strain) - transient diarrhoea, fever, depressions, erosions of mouth, in some cases more severe (mucosal dz)
-in endemic herd see dec. fertility and sporadic cases of mucosal dz
