| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| what bacteria are included in family pasteurellaceae | pasteurella, actinobacillus, haemophilus |
| what does haemophilus literally mean | blood loving |
| definition of haemophilus spp | small gram negatives, rods/coccobacilli, require X and/or V factors |
| what is REQUIRED by haemophilus | X and/or V factors |
| what is the habitat of haemophilus | commensals of upper respiratory tract and lower genital tract |
| what type of parasite is haemophilus | obligate parasite |
| atmospheric conditions for haemophilus | capnophiles (5-10% CO2) |
| media requirement for haemophilus | fastidious, needs X and V factors |
| describe the colonies of haemophilus | small dewdrop |
| x factor of haemophilus | aka hemin |
| v factor of haemophilus | aka NAD, intracellular |
| what media would you use to isolate haemophilus based on X factor | blood agar |
| what media would you use to isolate haemophilus based on V factor | chocolate agar |
| how do you make blood agar | add blood to agar base at 44-45 C |
| how do you make chocolate agar | add blood to agar base at 80 C |
| besides agar, what are 2 other ways to select for X and V factors | satellitism with S aureus or discs |
| describe satellitism of haemophilus | method used to grow v factor dependant haemophilus in conjunction with s. aureus |
| describe the range and specificities for haemophilus | wide host range but antigens are very host specific |
| bacterial factors of haemophilus | pili, capsules, endotoxins |
| specific bacterial factor of haemophilus paragallinarum | cytotoxin |
| specific bacterial factor of haemophilus somnus | serum resistance, attach to vascular endothelium |
| host factors of haemophilus | young, possible for acquired immunity, stress |
| what is haemophilus somnus factor dependancy | X and V |
| what species does H somnus infect | cattle |
| habitat of H somnus | adult= part of normal genital flora; calves= URT |
| where is the H somnus complex most common | in feed lot cattle |
| stockyard pneumonia is caused by which bacteria | H somnus complex |
| describe the disease process caused by H somnus complex | initially respiratory then turns septicemic and spreads to other organs |
| where does H somnus complex localize | CNS as thrombotic meningo encephalitis |
| name the 4 diseases H somnus complex causes | stockyard pneumonia, TME, arthritis, reproductive failure |
| what is the most characteristic manifestation of H somnus complex | TME |
| what is the most common manifestation of H somnus complex | respiratory (stockyard pneumonia) |
| what species does haemophilus agni infect | sheep |
| what other 2 bacteria could haemophilus agni be? | H somnus and histophilus ovis |
| what dz does H agni cause in the sheep | epididymitis, orchitis, other organs via septicemia |
| what haemophilus infects pigs | H parasuis |
| what causes "glassers disease" | H parasuis in pigs |
| What type of pigs normally are infected with H parasuis and why | specific pathogen free pigs b/c their normal flora is given to them |
| describe glassers disease | polyserositis-arthritis with fibrin adhesion |
| most common infectant of glassers dz | recently weaned |
| highest group mortality of glassers dz | non-immune |
| incidence of glassers dz | sporadic with variable morbidity-mortality |
| H parasuis respiratory dz can be precipitated by... | influenza virus infection |
| what are symptoms of H parasuis respiratory disease | fever, coughing, pneumonia, death |
| which species does haemophillus paragallinarum infect | poultry |
| what causes infectious coryza | H paragallinarum in poultry |
| which age is infectious coryza most common in | pullets and young layers |
| infectious coryza has what symptoms | facial swelling, nasal discharge, sneezing, unthriftiness, lowered egg production |
| how is infectious coryza economically significant | lowers egg production |
| Dx of haemophilus | culture for all |
| which species is serology used as a diagnostic for haemophilus | cattle and poultry |
| control and prevention of haemophilus | avoid introduction, bacterins for cattle and poultry |
| which species are bacterins used in for haemophilus | cattle and poultry |
