Pasteurella multocida
Path: H. somni
Histophilus somni is found in the URT of cattle. During conditions of stress (cold, wet, changeable weather, shipping, concurrent viral or bacterial infections) the organism enters the LRT and produces pneumonia. The organism can also gain entry to the blood via monocytes and from there it may infect joints, pericardium and other sites.
The Endotoxin (LOS) of H. somni may induce apoptosis of vascular endothelial cells and the resulting damage may lead to TEME. The organism has at least one Fc-receptor protein on its surface that interferes with the host immune response. It also releases adenine, guanine and GMP which may inhibit phagosome-lysosome fusion.
Path: Bordetellosis in turkey poults
Bordetella avium is spread through the water and respiratory secretions and establishes an infection in the trachea of turkey poults. The organism damages the ciliated tracheal epithelium. Secondary invaders such as E. coli can then enter the respiratory tract. If the turkey poults are less than 2 weeks of age, a severe respiratory disease can result. Older birds have a more chronic disease that can slow the growth rate and decrease feed efficiency. The organism has several toxins and virulence factors such as a histamine sensitizing factor, but these are not well characterized.

Describe presentation of Canine tracheobronchitis
Chronic, dry nonproductive cough occasionally w/ vomiting. The coughing begins acutely w/in a few days of contact w/ other dogs & is due to damage to the tracheal ciliated epi. The cough may last 4-6wks.
Path: IBK
initial damage to the conreal epi due to dust, excessive UV light, long stemmy grasses or weeds, etc. Mycoblaspa bivoculi colonizes the corneal lesions. Moraxella bovis subsequently colonizes the corneal lesions and produces a variety of proteases, a hemolysin, etc. than can heavily damage the epithelium. Neutrophils that migrate to the area are lysed & release their hydrolytic enzymes thus augmenting the damage.
Agglutination
B. suis
Path: Leukotoxin of M. hemolytica & incr inflammatory reaction in pulmoary tissues
Leukotoxin (RTX) damages, lyses phagocytic cells which release hydrolytic enzymes of those cells onto the surface of pulmonary tissues
Toxoid vs. Formalinized whole cell
Fromalinized whole cell prdoucts are used to protect against in fection. Toxoides may only generate Ab to NEUTRALIZE toxins that are produced by the organism. In some cases, antitoxic immunity is more imprtant than protecting against infection becase some of the toxins produce dz when present in very small quantities. In other cases is is most important to protect against infection, often because there might be multiple virulence facotrs or toxins produced.
Path: Descending Tetanus
Cl. tetani is introduced via wound in spore form. The spores germinate ad the organism produces tetanospasmin (tetanus toxin). The toxin is absorbed by the blood/lymph and transported throughout the body. It acts as a PROTEASE and blocks neurotransmitter release at the level of the spinal cord and brain stem. It selectively acts on the inhibitory nerve network and results in spastic paralysis. The nerves supplying the muscles of the head and neck are affected first followed by the respiratory muscles.
Explain how to generate a Cl. botulinum polyvalent antitoxin
Polyvalent antitoxin has antibodiesl to all common toxins. Hyperimmunize 1(+) horses w/ toxoids representing each of the main Cl. botulinum types. Bleed the horses and titer the serum Ab against the toxins to make sure yu have high titers against each toxin. Then combine the differnt abtibodies into a single polyvalent antitoxin. OR one could hyperimmunze one (+) horses w/ toxoids representing all the main toxin types (mixture).
