===Viruses Affecting The Heart===
1. [[Picornaviridae|''Foot & Mouth Disease Virus (calves, lambs, piglets)'']]
*Causes myocarditis and death in young animals
2. [[Parvoviridae|''Canine Parvo (dog)'']]
*Causes myocarditis (rare cases) and death in puppies
*Canine parvo virus attacks the rapidly dividing heart cells
===Viruses Affecting The Vasculature===
====Equine====
1. [[Herpesviridae|''Equine Herpes Virus'']]
*EHV-1 infects endothelial cells on the maternal side of the placenta causing abortion.
*In the UK EHV-1 is the most common cause of abortion among horses
*EHV-1 can also affect the nervous system
2. [[Retroviridae|''Equine Infectious Anemia'']]
3. [[Reoviridae|''African Horse Sickness Virus'']]
*AHSV can affect the endothelial cells of the vessels, the cardiac myocardium, and pulmonary structures
4. [[Arteriviridae|''Equine Viral Arteritis'']]
*Infection with EVA causes arterial edema, hemorrhages, and necrosis
*Abortion storms
*Alimentary and respiratory infections
====Swine====
1. [[Circoviridae|''Porcine Circovirus'']]
*Cause hemorrhagic skin lesions
*Immune complex necrotising vasculitis
*Two forms of the disease:
a) PMWS: Postweaning multisystemic wasting syndrome
b) PDNS: Porcine dermatitis nephropathy syndrome
2. [[Asfarviridae|''African Swine Fever'']]
*Caused by Asfarvirus
3. Classical Swine Fever
*Caused by Pestivirus
*Although caused by two different viruses, African Swine Fever & Classical Swine Fever share similar signs clinically.
*Petechial Hemorrhages, intravascular thrombosis, hindlimb weakness
====Feline====
1. [[Intestines Granulomatous Enteritis - Pathology|''Feline Infectious Peritonitis Virus'']]
*Vasculitis, inflammation of abdomen and liver
====Rabbit====
1. [[Caliciviridae|''Rabbit Hemorrhagic Disease Virus'']]
*Thrombi formation in the tissues and vessels
===Viruses Affecting Vasculature, But Tropism Elsewhere===
1. [[Paramyxoviridae|''New Castle Disease (Chickens)'']]
*Hemorrhagic lesions
2. Bovine Virus Diarrhea (Cattle)
*Pestivirus
*Arteritis, respiratory, lymphoid, and reproductive tracts can be affected
3. [[Paramyxoviridae|''Rinderpest (Cattle)'']]
*Respiratory, alimentary, lymphoid involvement
4. [[Herpesviridae|''Malignant Catarrhal Fever (Cattle)'']]
*Arteritis, respiratory, lymphoid, and ocular involvement
