feline viral rhinotracheitis (FVR) rhinitis and pharyngitis (8-14wks). sneezing, nasal discharge, lingual ulcers. dendritic corneal ulcers. latent or active carriers. glucocorticoids induce viral shedding
FVR vaccine modified live. possible to become infected after receiving vaccine but severity is less.
Feline panleucopnia clinical signs lethargy, anorexia, vomiting of yellow fluid. act thirsty, usually won't drink. high fever! Severe dehydration develops. diarrhea. GI palpably swollen and filled with gas and liquid. Ataxia b/c damage to cerebellum.
Feline panleucopnia is what type of virus parvovirus
Feline panleucopnia prevention Vaccination, shelter management
Properties of retroviruses chronic disease characterized by prolonged nature and immune compromise. Persistent infection. Transmission by direct contact or iatrogenic. Ability to acquire and alter-host derived genetic sequences, integrate into host genome.
example of retrovirus in cats FeLV
FeLV transmission vertical. horizontal among cats that live together.
FeLV viremia shed in saliva, nasal secretions, feces, milk, urine
FeLV pathogenesis lymphoid organs. Immune response unable to clear infection
FeLV asymptomatic phase can turn into what two phases 1. Progressive infection 2. regressive infection
FeLV progressive infection infection not contained. virus replicated in LN and bone marrow. eventually develop FeLV- associated diseases
FeLV regressive infection cat remains infected but reverts to as aviremic state. no antigen or culturable virus in circulation
FeLV clinical disease lymphoma, blood disorders, immune deficiency, loss appetite, poor coat, persistent fever, pale gums, gingivitis, stomatitis, seizures, eye conditions
FeLV prevention and control vaccine is only ok. best way to prevent is to ID and segregate infected cats.
FIV transmission bite wounds
FIV viremia High concentration in saliva
FIV pathogenesis drop in lymphocyte count. inversion of T lymphocyte ratio. immune response unable to clear infection.
FIV clinical signs persistent infection. long time for clinical disease to appear. Stomatitis
FIV prevention vaccine is only ok. isolate infected cats. may not spread in household with no fighting
Rabies in cats clinical signs loss of appetite, anxiety, infection of limbic system.
FIP wet form clinical signs effusion into the thorax and abdomen. fibrinous plaques on the serosal surface of abdominal organs.
FIP general clinical signs dyspnea, mild pyrexia, muffled heart sounds. uveitiss, keratic precipitations, changes in iris coloration. Fatality high
FIP non effusive form clinical signs lesions in eyes and CNS. granulomas in peritoneal cavity.
FIP transmission oronasal, replication in enterocytes, highly infectious, persists 3-7wks in env.
FIP treatment supportive only. anti-inflammatory immunosuppressive. Vaccine works
Respiratory type calicivirus transmission aerosol, oral
Respiratory type calicivirus clinical signs dyspena lasting up to a week. palatine ulcers predominate.
Lymphoreticular type calicivirus transmission aerosol, oral
Lymphoreticular type calicivirus clinical signs kittens 4-10wks. limping, stiffness, soreness, fever
Calicivirus respiratory disease progresses to submandibular and limb edema, high temp, alopecia, ulcerative dermatitis. 60% adults die
calicivirus prevention/control many cats asymptomatic from multiple cat env. hard to eliminate.
calicivirus vaccine do not protect against infection or establishment of a carrier state. does mitagate severity of disease. Modified live, killed subQ, modified live intranasal
