==Introduction==

=Introduction=
 +
 +
 +
=Morphology=
 +
*Very small RNA viruses
 +
*Much antigenic variation
 +
*Subtypes evolve and do not cross-protect
 +
*4 capsid proteins (VP1-VP4), with VP1 providing neutralizing target
 +
 +
=Virulence and Pathogenesis=
 +
*Cytopathic effect of all viruses is an overnight '''cell rounding''' and '''pyknosis'''
 +
 +
=Epidemiology=
 +
*Very resistant
 +
*Can survive several months on '''fomites'''
 +
*Infect via upper respiratory tract or buccal cavity and spread to target organs after viremia
 +
 +
=Types and Subtypes=
 +
3 Main Genera:
 +
===Enteroviruses===
 +
*[[Swine Vesicular Disease]]
 +
*[[Porcine Enterovirus]]
 +
===Apthoviruses===
 +
*[[Foot and Mouth Disease (FMDV)]]
 +
===Rhinoviruses===
 +
*Subclinical cold viruses
 
*Equine rhinovirus (picornavirus type 1 and 2) in [[Nasal Cavity Inflammatory - Pathology#Infectious causes of rhinitis|rhinitis]], see [[Respiratory Viral Infections - Pathology#Equine rhinovirus|respiratory infections]]
 
*Equine rhinovirus (picornavirus type 1 and 2) in [[Nasal Cavity Inflammatory - Pathology#Infectious causes of rhinitis|rhinitis]], see [[Respiratory Viral Infections - Pathology#Equine rhinovirus|respiratory infections]]
