===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
