<FlashCard questions="5">
|q1=Which organisms are responsible for causing Campylobacteriosis in Cattle?
|a1=
*''Campylobacter jejuni
*''Campylobacter coli
|l1=Campylobacteriosis - Cattle#Introduction
|q2=What are the clinical signs of Campylobacteriosis in cattle?
|a2=
Calves are more seriously affected and suffer from:
*thick mucoid diarrhoea, often flecked with blood
*pyrexia or they can have a normal body temperature
*tachycardia, rapid pulse rates and tachypnoea and weight loss
Adult cattle can become anorexic and show various reproductive signs:
*anoestrus
*irregular oestrus patterns
*hot udders
*agalactia
*abortion
*infertility
|l2=Campylobacteriosis - Cattle#Clincial signs
|q3=What is the pathogenesis of Campylobacteriosis?
|a3=
*stunting and fusion of villi
*dilation of crypts
*crypt abscesses
*mild cellular infiltration of the mucosa
*profound lesions can be found in the proximal small intestines and colon and can be visualised as comma-shaped organisms on the surface of the epithelium and within the lamina propria using silver staining.
|l3=Campylobacteriosis - Cattle#Diagnosis
|q4=What methods are used to diagnose campylobacter?
|a4=
Selective media containing antimicrobial agents such as polymyxin B or trimethoprim (using infected samples from stomach content, smegma or vaginal fluid).
|l4=Campylobacteriosis - Cattle#Diagnosis
|q5=How can campylobacteriosis be treated and controlled?
|a5=
Treating with erythromycin and tetracycline (some resistance has been recorded for both drugs) and ensuring good husbandry and disinfection/cleaning protocols are followed.
|l5=Campylobacteriosis - Cattle#Control
