− | *Atrophy of nasal turbinates and distortion and shortening of the snout
| |
− | *Caused by co-infection of the nasal mucosa with
| |
− | **''[[Bordetella bronchiseptica]]''
| |
− | ***Appears to facilitate colonisation of nasal epithelium by the toxigenic ''Pasteurella''
| |
− | **Toxin-producing strain of [[Pasteurella multocida|''Pasteurella multocida'']] capsular type D (or sometimes A)
| |
− | ***Experimental evidence shows that the toxin acts directly on bone cells of the nasal turbinates to cause bone loss, each pathogen can cause atrophy itself but greater damage when together
| |
− | *Exacerbated by adverse dietary and managemental factors
| |
− | *In rapidly growing young pigs (4-12 weeks old)
| |
− | *Clinical signs
| |
− | **Progressive facial deformity with [[Nasal Cavity Inflammatory - Pathology#Infectious causes of rhinitis|rhinitis]], catarrhal nasal discharge
| |
− | **Sneezing, coughing, can progress to dyspnoea and anorexia
| |
− |
| |
− | *Gross pathology
| |
− | **Overlying skin on shortened snout is thrown into folds
| |
− | **Deviation of the snout to most affected side
| |
− | **Various loss of turbinate bone, ventral usually more affected
| |
− | **Deviation of nasal septum away from affected chamber
| |
− | **Inflammatory, haemorrhagic and ulcerative lesions in the nasal mucosa
| |
− | *Micro pathology
| |
− | **Reduction in the amount of bone in the turbinates
| |
− | **No osteoid laid down between osteoblasts and existing bone
| |
− | **Increased fibrous tissue
| |
− | **Non-specific mucosal inflammation
| |
− |
| |
− | *2 forms of the disease
| |
− | **''''Progressive' atrophic rhinitis'''
| |
− | ***Due to infection of the nasal turbinates by P.multocida strains carrying the toxA gene that encodes for an osteolytic toxin. [[Pasteurella multocida|''P.multocida'']] adheres poorly to mucous membranes, and therefore requires a predisposing nasal insult to assist colonisation eg: co-infection with [[Bordetella bronchiseptica|''B.bronchiseptica'']] or [[Cytomegalovirus|Porcine cytomegalovirus (inclusion body rhinitis)]]
| |
− | ***Turbinate bone atrophy is permanent and progressive
| |
− | **''''Non-progressive' atrophic rhinitis'''
| |
− | ***Due to infection of the nasal turbinates by ''[[Bordetella bronchiseptica]]'' strains alone, that carry a gene that encodes for a dermonecrotic toxin.
| |
− | ***Turbinate bone can regenerate by the time of slaughter
| |
− |

− | *''[[Bordetella bronchiseptica]]'' also causes [[Bronchi and Bronchioles Inflammatory - Pathology#Infectious causes of bronchitis or bronchiolitis|broncho]][[Lungs Inflammatory - Pathology#Infectious causes of pneumonia|pneumonia]]
