Epidemiology • first described in South Africa in 1906 • tropical, subtropical, and temperate countries in Africa, Asia, and Australia • Thailand since 1984
Transmission • Insect bite • not spread from cow to cow • Culicoides • Mosquitoes
Clinical Signs (1) • Depressed • High fever (105-107 F) with biphasic or triphasic fever • Serous ocular and nasal discharge • Anorexia • Decreased milk production • Weight loss • Stiffness and lameness • More severe in high BW animals
Clinical Signs (2) • Severe case Muscle stiffness Drag feet when forced to walk Lying down, with hide limbs outstretched- to relieve muscle cramp Lie down for three days
Clinical Signs (3) • Morbidity may reach to 30% • Low mortality • Causes of the death • Pneumonia from secondary infection • Muscle damaged and inflammation from long period lying down • Pregnancy toxemia (fatty liver syndrome)
Gross lesions • the small amounts of fibrin-rich fluid in the pleural,peritoneal, pericardial cavities and joint capsules • the synovial surfaces of the spine may have fibrin plaques. • The lungs may have patchy edema. • Lymphadenitis • Focal necrosis can be found in major muscle groups in some cases.
Hematology • an absolute rise in leukocyte numbers • a rapid fall in circulating lymphocytes • a return to normal levels after 3-4 days • The serum fibrinogen level rises to 3-4 times the normal level and returns to normal 1-2 weeks after recovery. • The total serum calcium level falls to 1.8 mmol-1 during the febrile phases and returns to normal on recovery. • This is the biochemical event that causes the reversible early paralysis.
Diagnosis • Clinical signs • Sero-conversion: paired serum • SN test • ELISA • Gross lesion

Clinical signs • Initial signs • A decreased appetite • Milk depression • Nasal and lacrimal discharge (serous to mucoid) • Increased respiratory rate • Progress signs • Elevated BT (104-108 F) • Dyspnea • Opened mouth breathing • Hyperpnea (abdominal breathing) • Cough • Increased bronchial and bronchovesicular sounds, and fine crackles • Decreased milk production • Duration of disease is variable, lasting from 1-2 weeks • Calf :more severe
Postmortem findings • Atypical interstitial pneumonia (AIP) • Gross findings: • Initially involves the cranioventral lobes • Calves die from severe lung edema and interstitial pneumonia • Lung fail to collapse • Subpleural emphysema • Bronchial and mediastinal lymphnodes are enlarged and edema.
Histopathological findings • Vary depending on stage of viral infection and the secondary bacterial infection • Bronchointerstitial pneumonia with severe bronchiolitis in cranioventral part • Alveolar edema and emphysema are diffusely present • Multinucleated syncytial cells (bronchiolar epithelium) • Bacterial pneumonia: suppurative or fibrous bronchopneuminia
Lung. Multinucleated syncytial cell is prominent within the bronchiole and appears to be arising from the epithelial layer. The lumen is packed with neutrophils. A few neutrophils are also transmigrating the bronchiolar wall and are in the adjacent atelectactic parenchyma. 40X
Pathogenesis (1) • Virus infects epithelial cells in the pulmonary airways • Cytopathic changes and necrosis • Necrotizing bronchiolotis • Alveolar epithelium: interstitial pheumonia • Mixed inflammatory cell infiltration with a predominance of neutrophils
Pathogenesis (2) • May suppress the immune system • Atypical interstitial pneumonia • Necrotizing bronchiolitis: • Extensive viral replication at bronchiolar epithelium • Dyspnea and forced expiration • Emphysema
Immune response to infection • Both dies and recovery from clinically severe have antibody responses to proteins of virus (F and N): may not protective effect • Colostrum IgG-1 do not prevent the infection but make disease less severe • Cell-mediated immune responses may play a protective role
Differential diagnosis • Parainfluenza-3 • IBR • Mycoplasma spp. • Haemophilus somnus • etc…
Diagnosis • Clinical signs • Necropsy • Laboratory Diagnosis Viral isolation Antigen Detection Enzyme Immunoassay Immunofluorescent Antibody Staining Detection of Nucleic acids: PCR Serological Diagnosis
Treatment (1) • ABO: Bacterial pneumonia - Pasteurella haemolytica • P. multocida • Haemophilus somnus • Anti-inflammatory agents • Corticosteroid • Antihistamine • NSAIDs
Treatment (2) • Antiviral therapy: Ribivarin: HRSV • Immunotherapy: Hyperimmune serum : HRSV • Supportive treatment • Dehydration and electrolyte imbalances • Anorectic animals: B-complex vitamins
Prevention and Control • Management: • Stress, ventilation, maternity pen, calf-rearing area • Immunization • Passive Immunization: Modify severity of disease • Vaccination: Modified-lived BRSV vaccine Inactivated BRSV vaccine
IBR, BRSV, PI-3, BVD killed vaccine + Haemophilus somnus bacterin Killed vaccine protects against IBR, BVD, PI3 and BRSV, and Pasteurella haemolytica and Haemophilus.

Parainfluenza-3 Virus (PI-3) • Enzootic Pneumonia • Etiology • Family Paramyxoviridae • Genus Paramyxovirus
Pathogenesis • Virus infects ciliated respiratory epithelium of the upper and lower respiratory tracts and also alveolar macrophage. • Reduce alveolar macrophage • Facilitate pulmonary bacterial colonization • Infection of calves is rarely fatal, producing mild or subclinical cases.
Epidemiology • World wide distribution • Subclinical • Stress produce more severe clinical case • Disease is commonly seen in calves 2-8 mths. • Thailand: • 1994- 1,788 of 2,070 bulk milk samples were antibody positive (86.3%)
Transmission • Aerosal • Direct contact
Clinical signs • Fever 104-105 F • Rhinitis and pneumonia • Cough (easily by pinching the trachea) • Recovery in few days
Diagnosis • Virus isolation • Immunofluorescent or immunoperoxidase test • Serology: Hemagglutination-Inhibition (HI) Viral Neutralization
Bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) • BVD was first recognised in Canada and the United States in the 1940's. • In 1987, outbreaks of BVD occurred affecting veal calves and older cattle in New York and Pennsylvania. • Beginning in 1992, an outbreak of BVD affected veal calves and dairy herds in Quebec. • Today BVDV infections are seen in all ages of cattle throughout the world and has significant economic impact due to productive and reproductive losses.
Etiology • RNA virus • Family Flaviviridae • Pestivirus 2 biotypes: cytopathogenic (cp) or noncytopathogenic (ncp) Both biotypes of BVDV infect cattle and cause disease, but only ncp BVDV causes persistent infections.
Effect of BVDV infection on cattle • Reproductive failure: Embryonic death, Mummification, Abortions, Stillbirths • Repeated breeding syndrome • Immunosuppression • Congenital defects: Cerebellar hypoplasia, Cataract • Persistent infections: Carrier animals • Acute BVD • Bovine respiratory tract disease • Mucosal disease
Transmission • Persistent infected animals • Acute infected cattle • Semen • Embryo transfer • Rectal sleeves • Contaminated water • Biting insect (experimentally)
