'''Bacterial classification'''
According to the International Code of Nomenclature of Bacteria ("The Bacteriological Code", revision of 1990) and the International Committee on Systematics of Procaryotes (ICSP), bacteria of veterinary interest are divided into 8 phyla:-

Phylum Actinobacteria (orders Actinomycetales and Bifidobacteriales)

Phylum Cyanobacteria (the blue-green algae)

Phylum Fusobacteria (genera ''Fusobacterium'' and ''Streptobacillus'')

Phylum Spirochaetes

Arteriviridae - Overview

2012-05-26T09:52:39Z

RMack:

Arteriviruses are enveloped viruses of 45 to 80 nm in diameter with a spherical appearance due to the shape of the envelope. However, the nucelocapsid that contains the positive-sense single-stranded RNA genome is actually icosohedral. The lipoprotein envelope has ring-like structures on its surface, but there are no gross surface spikes. Arteriviruses have a tropism for macrophages and endothelial cells, where they reproduce in the cytoplasm. The genome is 13Kb in length, and is infectious itself without the capsid or envelope.

Arteriviruses are inactivated by treatment with chloroform or ether. They are very resistant to freezing, althouth infectivity is reduced as temperature rises.

Arteriviruses comprise equine arteritis virus, lactate dehydrogenase-activating virus and the virus of the porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome

===Morphology===
*Small, enveloped, positive sense RNA viruses

===Epidemiology===
*'''Aerosol''' and '''venereal''' transfer
*Poor vaccination
