Paramyxoviridae
Canine Distemper. Genus Morbillivirus
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What is special about this genus? | NO hemagglutinin-neuraminidase protein! Intranuclear and intracytoplasmic inclusion bodies |
| What is another name for this disease? | Hardpad Disease |
| Hosts: | invaccinated dogs. Procyonidae[raccoons,panda]. Ursidae[bear]. Mustelidae[ferrets]. CNS infection in exotic Felidae |
| What is this virus related to? | Measles and rinderpest viruses |
| What strains are HIGHLY virulent and neutrotropic? | Snyder Hill, R252, and A75/17 strains |
| How resistant is this virus? | EXTREMELY FRAGILE! Inactivated within a few hours at room temperature. Warm climates, after dog is removed, dies |
| Transmission and shedding? | Inhalation of infected droplets. Found in all secretions from the 5th day after infection for up to 60-90 days |
| Virus multiplies in: | Macrophages, Epithelial cells, T & B Lymphocytes (immunosuppression), and nervous tissue |
| Pathogenesis: | Replication in cells of URT->LYMPHOCYTE-ASSOCIATED VIREMIA to reticuloendothelial system->more replication here->Lymphocyte&monocyte-associated secondary viremia |
| What is the antibody titer cutoff and number of days for the virus to stop spreading? | >1:100 on the 8-9th day is GOOD. >1:100 not attained by the 14th day is BAD and the virus spreads throughout the body :( |
| Which strains cause polioencephalomyelitis? Demyelinating encephalomyelitis? | Snyder Hill and A75/17. R252 |
| What two late complications could be seen in old dogs? | Harpad disease (hyperkeratosis of foot pads) & Old dog Encephalitis (virus persists in brain for more than 24 hours and causes damage after apparent recovery) |
| T/F. Most infections are subclinical. | TRUE 50-70%. prevelance rate is in dogs between 3-6 months |
| Clinical signs in peracute cases? Acute cases? Mortality rate? | rare. primarily respiratory or intestinal signs. 30-80% |
| What test can you use to diagnose the virus? | Immunoperoxidase or FA staining of impression smears or conjunctiva or peripheral blood lymphocytes |
| Immunity? | Survivors have LIFELONG immunity. Unpon exposure, dogs can be treated with HYPERIMMUNE SERUM or IMMUNE GLOBULIN |
| Schedule for puppy vaccination: | modified-life vaccinse at 6 weeks. then at 2-4 week intervals until 16 weeks of age. |
| What is special about the modified-live vaccine? | Canine morbillivirus and the human measles virus shares a common fusion protein antigen. Used only as a replacement for the first vaccinations in 6-12 week old pups. DO NOT GIVE TO PUPPIES UNDER 6 WEEKS! give IM |
