  11. BACTERIAL DISEASES

  12. Tetanus Previously covered disease.

  13. Big Head • Causative agent: Clostridium novyi, C. sordellii, or C. chauvoei (black leg) • Clinical signs (sheep): Head butting and fighting causes bruising or laceration and edematous swelling. • Diagnosis: Clinical signs • Treatment: Penicillin, broad spectrum antibiotics • Prevention: Vaccinate 7/8 way - ewe 1 month before lambing, lamb: 1 month and 2-4 weeks later booster

  14. Black Disease Causative agent: Clostridium novyi Type B (soil) Transmission: ingestion of spores, flukes predispose them to black disease Clinical signs: Often found dead (endotoxins); respiratory distress, anorexia, and fever Diagnosis: Necropsy and culture/ gram stain - liver Hemorrhage of SQ vessels, sub epicardial hemorrhage, kidney/liver - autolysis Treatment: Tetracycline Control: trematodes e.g. albendazole

  16. Brucellosis Causative agent: Brucella ovis and B. melitensis (rare: abortion) in sheep; Brucella melitensis and B. abortus (ZOONOTIC)in goats. Gram – coccobacillus Malta fever in humans Transmission: sheep - veneral and goats – ingestion of contaminated food, direct contact: urine, feces, placenta, milk Clinical signs: Sheep: Abortion (rare), epididymitis, goats: abortion storms, lameness, mastitis, diarrhea, and depression Diagnosis: Agglutination tests or complement fixation Treatment: None

  17. Caseous Lymphadenitis • Causative agent: Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis : gram + coccoid • Transmission: direct contact with superficial wounds, ingestion, inhalation • Clinical signs: Dyspnea, tachypnea, cough, and weight loss • Diagnosis: Culture from TTW, radiographs, necropsy (hepatic abscess) • Treatment: Isolation, hygiene and vaccine?

  18. Caseous Lymphadenitis (cont’d)

  19. Caseous Lymphadenitis (cont’d)

  20. Chlamydophilosis – Enzootic abortion ewes (EAE) Causative agent: Chlamydia psittaci (zoonotic) – gram - Transmission:Direct contact: uterine discharge, fetus, placenta; veneral (rams are carriers) Clinical signs: Abortion (#1 cause in goats): last trimester, weak or stillborn lambs, pneumonia, KCS, epididymitis, and polyarthritis Diagnosis: ELISA, fluorescent antibody staining, and culture isolation Treatment: Oxytetracycline; females that have aborted should be isolated; fetal tissue or placenta should be burned or buried; and management Prevention: vaccine (prevent abortions)

  21. Clostridium Perfringens Causative agent: Clostridium perfringens(normal flora GI sheep) Clinical signs: Type A: diarrhea – neonates. Type B (lamb dysentery: endotoxin): acute bloody diarrhea – young lambs > high mortality. Type C (lamb dysentery: endotoxin): diarrhea in lambs < 3 wks. And in adults – “struck”. Type D: feedlot lambs – high concentrate, eat excessive feed/ milk. Diarrhea (sheep can die w/o diarrhea in goats diarrhea than die), incoordination, excitement, circling, head pressing, convulsions and sudden death

  22. Clostridium Perfringens Diagnosis: Clinical signs or necropsy Treatment: Penicillin and vaccinate with antitoxin in outbreak Prevention: vaccination, parasite control, gradual feed changes

  23. Joint ill Causative agent: Kids, Staphylococci, streptococci,Corynebacterium spp., Actinomyces, and coliform bacteria Transmission: breaks in skin, umbilical cord, GI, respiratory tract Clinical signs: Warm, painful, swollen joints, lameness, fever, umbilical cord abcessation, and leukocytosis with left shift Diagnosis: Clinical signs Treatment: Penicillin's and joint flushing (saline) Prevention: avoid overcrowding and hygiene at partiurition, dipping umbilical cord

  24. Vibriosis Causative agent: Campylobacter jejuni and C. fetus, gram – rod Transmission:ingestion of organisms (intestines of sheep, birds, dogs) Clinical signs: Late-term abortion (#1 – sheep), stillbirths, and weak lambs Diagnosis: Culture Treatment: Antibiotics and vaccination

  25. Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathies (TSE) - Scrapie Causative agent: Prion Transmission??: Suffolk. Infected at birth. Genetics. (environment) and show c.s. at 3.5 years. Clinical signs: Wool or hair loss, ataxia, weight loss, starring, aggressiveness, floppy ears, tremors, seizures, inability to swallow, and death. Chronic and degenerative Diagnosis: Finding prion protein with immunostaining of lymphoid tissue in 3rd eyelid Treatment: None REPORTABLE, eradication program

  26. OTHER DISEASES

  27. Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathies (TSE) - Scrapie

  28. Toxoplasma Causative agent: Toxoplasma gondii Clinical signs: Fetal death, abortion, embryonic death, stillbirth, and weak nonviable neonates Diagnosis: Serologic tests Treatment: Prevent cat access to sheep areas

  29. VIRAL DISEASES

  30. Bluetongue Causative agent: genus: Orbivirus; Family: Reoviridae Transmission: Culicoides gnat/midge, cattle are reservoirs Clinical signs: Ulcerations on the mouth or nose, lame, fever, and abortion, neonate - hydroencephaly Diagnosis: Viral isolation Treatment: Insect control, vaccine REPORTABLE

  31. Caprine Arthritis and Encephalitis Causative agent: Retroviral (similar to ovine progressive pneumoniae) Transmission: fomites (needles), colostrum Clinical signs: Neurologic: kids 1-4 months: tetraplegia, ataxia, blindness, head tilt, facial paralysis, opisthotonus, generalized paresis Arthritic Mastitis

  32. Caprine Arthritis and Encephalitis • Diagnosis: AGID (test for CAE antibody), CS, and necropsy • Treatment: None • Prevention: cull, colostrum heated 1 hour at 56⁰ C

  33. Contagious Ecthyma • contagious viral pustular dermatitis – orf – sore mouth – contagious pustular dermatitis – cutaneous pustular dermatitis, scabby mouth • Etiology: Family poxviridae and genus: Parapoxvirus • Transmission: direct/ indirect with environment Immunity and counter-immunity during infection with the parapoxvirus orf virus: David M Haig, , Colin J McInnes, 2002

  34. Contagious Ecthyma • Clinical signs: Lesions in oral cavity, eyelids, feet, and teats; lameness, anorexia, dehydration, malnutrition, secondary bacterial infections • Diagnosis: Clinical signs • Treatment: Secondary bacterial infections and supportive • Prevention:

  35. Ovine Progressive Pneumonia Causative agent: Retroviridae family Transmission: milk and colostrum Clinical signs: Coughing, bronchial exudates, anorexia, fever, depression, encephalitis, and mastitis Diagnosis: Necropsy, ELISA, AGID, and virus isolation Treatment: None Prevention: culling

  36. Author: Angie Warner, D.V.M.,D.Sc. Description:This slide shows gross lung tissue from a sheep with ovine progressive pnemonia (OPP). This is an example of a multifocal pulmonary disease that may be diagnosed by lung biopsy.

  37. Noninfectious Diseases

  38. Entropion Causative agent: Congenital, trauma, severe dehydration, weight loss, and painful ocular conditions Most common ocular disease in neonatal lambs Bilateral and lower lids

  39. Entropion Clinical signs: Blepharospasm, photophobia, epiphora, keratoconjunctivitis, and eye rubbing Diagnosis: Clinical signs Treatment: Surgical and Penicillin, topical atropine, topical antibiotics

  40. Hereditary Chondrodysplasia – spider lamb syndrome • Causative agent: Inheritable • Clinical signs: Skeletal defects primarily seen in Suffolk or Hampshire breeds • Lambs show clinical signs at 6 weeks of age • Longer legs • Chondrodysplasia: skull, sternum, vertebrae
