  24. Rinderpest • Cattle plague • Highly infectious disease of cattle • Respiratory and alimentary tract disease

  25. Rinderpest • History • 900-1800 AD: Europe: Epidemics every 50 years • 1890s: Sub-Saharan Africa: 80-90% of cattle died • 1962-1976: Africa: Vaccination campaign • 1979-1984: Africa: Epidemic: >1 million cattle died

  26. Rinderpest • Epidemiology: Transmission • Direct contact • Faecal contamination of drinking water • Respiratory aerosols • Infection of wild ungulates and pigs • Movement of livestock • Trade • Pastoral migrations • War

  27. Rinderpest • Clinical signs • High fever • Nasal discharge • Ocular discharge • Excess frothy salivation • Oral and nasal erosions and ulcerations • Constipation followed by diarrhoea • Death after a few days

  28. Rinderpest in cattle Oral ulceration and necrosis Oral erosions with necrotic plaques

  29. Rinderpest in cattle Gross pathology Necrosis and haemorrhage of ruminal mucosa Haemorrhagic enteritis with erosion of Peyer’s patches

  31. Peste des petits ruminants (PPR) • Phylogenetically related to rinderpest virus • Similar epidemiology and pathogenesis • Respiratory and alimentary tract disease • Clinical Signs • Erosive stomatitis • Conjunctivitis • Diarrhoea • Pneumonia

  32. Ocular, nasal and oral Mucopurulent discharge Peste des petits ruminants Ulcers and necrotic plaques on oral mucosa

  33. Haemorrhagic pneumonia Peste des petits ruminants Ulcers in oral cavity and linear erosions in intestine

  36. Family Paramyxoviridae Subfamily Paramyxovirinae Avulavirus Newcastle disease virus (formerly Rubulavirus)

  37. Newcastle disease virus • Avian paramyxovirus type 1 • First recognised in Newcastle, UK, in 1926 • Epidemic disease of poultry • Domestic fowl • Turkeys • Pheasant • Ducks • Geese

  38. Newcastle disease virus • Tissue trophism • Neurotropic form: Encephalitis: Faeco-oral • Respiratory form: Pneumonia: Inhalation • Viscerotropic form: Systemic disease • Virulent velogenic strains cause predominantly hemorrhagic lesions, in particular at the esophagus/proventriculus and proventriculus/gizzard junctions

  39. Newcastle disease virus • Affects wide range of other species of birds • Psittacines: Cockatoos, Parakeets • Passerines: Finches • Ratites: Ostriches • Migratory waterfowl: Long distance spread • Avian paramyxovirus types 2-9 • “Pigeon paramyxoviruses”

  40. Newcastle disease virus • Strain virulence • High: Velogenic • Produce acute disease with high mortality (up to 90%) • Some strains cause respiratory disease while others cause enteric or neurological disease • Medium: Mesogenic • Produce respiratory disease and a drop in egg production • Low: Lentogenic: V4 strains: Vaccination • Hitchner B1 is widely used as a live virus vaccine

  41. Newcastle disease virus • Clinical findings • A combination of inspiratory dyspnea (gasping), cyanosis of comb and wattles • Intestinal symptoms may include crop dilatation, presence of foamy mucus and fibrinous exudate in the pharynx, a similar discharge from the beak, and yellow-green diarrhoea. • Nervous system involvement is indicated by paralysis of wings and/or legs, torticollis, ataxia or circular movements, bobbing-and-weaving movements of the head. • The disease in turkeys is similar; there are signs of respiratory and nervous system involvement. Airsacculitis rather than tracheitis is the most common lesion. • In ducks and geese most infections are inapparent.

  42. Newcastle disease virus • Diagnosis • Virus isolation • Inoculation of 10-day-old embryonated eggs • Serology • Haemagglutination inhibition
