| − | ===Feline herpesvirus -1===
| |
| − | | |
| − | *Feline viral rhinotracheitis in [[Nasal cavity - inflammatory#Rhinitis|rhinitis]]
| |
| − | **One of the causes of Feline viral rhinotracheitis
| |
| − | ***Viruses and bacteria are involved in the complex. The most frequent aetiologic agent is FHV-1, and less frequently feline calicivirus and/or ''Chlamydophia psittaci'' (NB: previously called Chlamydia psittaci var felis)
| |
| − | ***All three agents infect URT respiratory epithelium, although FHV-1 has the highest affinity for this epithelium
| |
| − | ***Feline calicivirus more frequently infects the oral mucosa -> ulcerative stomatitis
| |
| − | ***C.psittaci more frequently infects the conjunctival epithelium -> chronic conjunctivitis
| |
| − | ***Infection of the respiratory epithelium by FHV-1 results in a typical neutrophilic rhinitis with intraepitheial intranuclear eosinophilic inclusion bodies, with expected clinical signs
| |
| − | ***Resolution of clinical signs usually occurs by 7-14 days.
| |
| − | ***FHV-1 remains latent in the trigeminal ganglion, and can reactivate at times of stress. Can infect the cornea -> ulcerative keratitis.
| |
| − | ***Occasional mortality in kitten or immunocompromised animals usually associated with secondary bacterial infection.

| − | ===Bovine herpesvirus -1===
| |
| − | * Bovine herpesvirus - 1 (Infectious bovine rhinotracheitis virus) contributes to [[Intestines - Catarrhal Enteritis#Undifferentiated Neonatal Calf Diarrhoea|undifferentiated neonatal calf diarrhoea]], a mixed viral enteritis in calves; and [[Nasal cavity - inflammatory#Rhinitis|rhinitis]]
| |
| − | *Causes '''Infectious bovine rhinotracheitis (IBR)'''
| |
| − | *Highly infectious URT disease of cattle
| |
| − | *High morbidity, low mortality
| |
| − | *Aerosol transmission - requires close contact between animals
| |
| − | *BHV-1 infects the respiratory mucosal epithelial cells (intranuclear inclusion eosinophilic inclusion bodies)from nasal mucosa down to bronchioles
| |
| − | **leading to neutrophilic inflammation of varying severity.... serous -> catarrhal -> purulent nasal discharge, sneezing, coughing.
| |
| − | **with secondary bacterial infection (eg: Pasturella spp., Mycoplasma spp., Fusobacterium necrophorum) can lead to fibrinous to necrotizing inflammation; mucosal sloughing, ulceration... pyrexia, dyspnoea ... inhalation pneumonia... death.
| |
| − | *Clinical signs include coughing, discharge, lacrimation, and increased respiratory rate.
| |
| − | *Clinical disease most severe in young calves - can develop mucosal ulcerative lesions in the oesophagus and forestomachs and viraemia with multiorgan infection.
| |
| − | *Cause of abortion >5 months of gestation
