⛓️🦠Interrupting Disease Transmission 🦠⛓️
Three tenements to stop dx spread
remove infection, stop transmission, enhance resistance
List the rabies resevoris in the US
bat, skunk, raccoon, fox, monogoose
Bat everywhere, racoon the east coast, racoon middle of US
With blasto are cats or dogs more commonly effected?
clinical presentation
rads?
diagnosis?
cats difference?
dogs
BELLSP (bone, eye, LN, lungs, skin, prostate)
rads-diffuse miliary nodular interstial pattern but can be variable with masses, tracheobronchial lymphadenopathy
find organism, ELISA (urine better),
cats-CNS and gi more common
The 5 zoonotic important foreign animals dxs
Nipha, hendra, VEE, exotic newcastle dx, rift valley fever
The focus of shelter medicine is disease prevention or tx?
prevention
What is Ro
the basic reproduction number, the measure of infectiousness of a pathogen in a completely suspectable population
neurotropic.
via introduction of virus salvia into tissues
Mira vista detects fungal?
vs serology detects?
1) antigen
2) antibody
What is a swine dx that we are worried about coming to the US
african swine fever, spread by ticks or pork products
want to avoid?
crowding, adequate housing per animal for space
In preventing dx what occurs at primary, secondary and tertiary level
primary-protecting the non-infected (vaccinations, biosecurity, disinfection)
secondary-detecting the preclinical (quarantine, surveillance)
tert-reduce the impact of clinical dx
T/F virus shedding occurs before clinical signs
With histo are cats or dogs more commonly effected?
clinical presentation
rads?
diagnosis?
dogs difference?
cats
lungs, LN, liver, spleen, lytic bone lesions, cutanous, eye, cns. gi not common in cats
rads similar to blasto
dogs can see same signs but commonly presents as chronic enterocolopathy
find the organism, rectal scraping, elisa
skeeters
some key preventatives
vaccination (panleuk, rabies, da2pp, bordetella, civ), parasite control, disinfection
80% vaccine coverage
gold standard test
direct fluorescent antibody test on fresh brain tissue
With coccidiodomycosis are cats or dogs more commonly effected?
clinical presentation
rads?
diagnosis?
cats difference?
dogs
often subclinical, pulmonary involvement, tracheobronchial lymphadenopathy very very common LN, bone on joints lytic lesions, skin, cns, also loves to effect the pericardium, peripheral LN, prostate
diag-find organism if can but often can't, elisa not that useful , serology helps to confirm test.
nipha spread by?
bats
at a minimum this tx for internal parasites should be given
pyrantel
To control outbreak these are methods to reduce Ro
vaccination, biosecurity, disinfection, quarantine vs isolation, surveillance, tx, depopulation
vaccine protocal
animal exposed to rabies not vaccinated then what. if up to date or previously vaccinated
never-euth or quarantine 4 months
previous/up to revaccinate and 45 day observation
Azoles are first line for?
all the mycoses above
OIE--> WHO
why is power washing not the best
