Term
feline panleucopaenia virus (FPV) =
Definition
systemic neonatal dz
cerebellar hypoplasia
enteritis leukopaenia
Term
CPV 1 (canine parvovirus) =
Definition
neonatal deaths
myocarditis
repro failure
mild enteritis?
Term
CPV 2a and 2b =
Definition
systemic neonatal dz
enteritis
myocarditis
leukopenia
Term
porcine parvovirus (PPV) =
Definition
Stillbirths
Mummification
Eembryonic Death

= INFERTILITY
Term
FPV and CPV are relatively rare noe, why?
Definition
most animals vacc
Term
parvovirus capsid =
Definition
icosahedral (made of 2 proteins)
Term
parvovirus genome =
Definition
ssDNA

v. small!
4ORFs - only encodes 4 proteins :
-NSP1
-NSP2
-VP1
-VP2
(VP = structural, capsid components)
Term
ENV of parvovirus?
Definition
no
Term
parvovirus particels are resistant to...
Definition
v stable

-resistant to heat
extreme pH
detergents
and some disinfectants
Term
parvovirus is spread by...
Definition
-spread by vets, feeding bowls, animal sheds
Term
size of parvovirus =
Definition
tiny!
Term
CPV and FPC bind to what R on host cell?
Definition
transferrin (widely expressed on dividing cells)
Term
parvovirus is released into host cell cytoplasm by
Definition
acidifictaion of endosome = activate phospholipid domain in capsi protein = detroy endosome mb and release capsid
Term
when parvovirus at host cell nucleus it...
Definition
releases ssDNA
Term
replication of viral DNA by
Definition
host DNA pol (only present in dividing cells) - turns ssDNA to dsDNA and then host RNA pol transcribes DNA to RNA
Term
NSP 1 function =
Definition
-bind to viral DNA and is essential for initiation of replication
-helicase: splits DNA strand so transcription can occur
-endonuclease = nicks virus DNA to make new viral genome to package, also nicks cellular DNA = arrests host cell in synthesis/ S phase= cell keeps replicating - stuck in S phase. This triggers apoptosis and virus release
Term
CPV appeared in EU and spread around world within...
Definition
...6months!!
Term
why doesnt parvovirus mutate alot?
Definition
replicate by hst cell enzymes
Term
5 clincial symptoms you can get with parvovirus =
Definition
1. generalised neonatal dz
2. leukopaenia
3. enteritis
4. cerebellar hypoplasia
5. myocarditis
Term
generalised neonatal dz occurs because
Definition
neonates have lots of dividing cells=infect all cells in neonate
Term
age of D or C with generalised neonatal dz =
Definition
2-12 days old
Term
leukopaenia/enteritis due to infection of...
Definition
...BM and crypt cells (constantly dividing cells)

usually seen in D and Cs 2-4months old
Term
enteritis seen in D&Cs how old?
Definition
4-12months
Term
what clincial sign tends to dominate in parvovirus inection in adult D&Cs
Definition
enteritis
-haemorrhagic enteritis, fever, bloody diarrhoea, vom
Pathological lesions with congestion and thickening in subacute cases
Term
cerebellar hypoplasia occurs usually if...
Definition
...queen survived, infection of kittens with parvovirus

seen in kittens infected 2wks b4 birth to 4wks old
Term
mycarditis occurs mainly in
Definition
dogs
Term
cerebellar hypoplasia occurs mainly in
Definition
cats (kittens espec)
Term
young puppies infected with parvovirus at 12days old =
Definition
will get myocarditis, which can cause sudden death in puppies
Term
lab dx of FPV and CPV =
Definition
1. virus shed in faeces
2. haemagglutination of swine RBCs
3. inhibiton by specific antisera
4. PCR (gd as genome = DNA NOT RNA = no reverse transcriptase needed, = more reliabel - less chance of mutation occuring :))
4. virus isolation in cell culture
5. Ag capture ELISA test using faecal sample
Term
vacc?
Definition
live attenuated and inactivated vacc against CPV and FPV

ubiquitous use of vacc
Term
maternal Abs ...
Definition
...protect neonate but in hibit vacc
Term
what signs in a puppy or kitten may you worry about CPV/FPV infection?
Definition
haemorrhagic enteritis
Term
PPV infects
Definition
embryo (crosses placenta)
Term
prevelance of PPV =
Definition
worlwide and endemic in many herds
Term
PPV causes
Definition
Stillbirths
Mummification
Embryonic Death

= INFERTILITY
Term
how well does PPV persost in enviro?
Definition
v well. tough structure
Term
after recovery PPV shedding =
Definition
can carry on for several months!
Term
PPV can be shed in
Definition
semen
Term
what pig is at risk of PPV
Definition
gilts - maternal Abs protect from infection UNTIL 1st preg is established
Term
contro of PPV =
Definition
vacc gilts
