Malignant Catarrhal Fever Malignant Catarrhal Fever In this presentation the authors especially drew from the first hand experience of their colleagues in South Africa. Personal interviews as well as standard research sources provide the insights we bring you for the recognition of this exotic disease. Jeffrey Musser Suzanne Burnham Malignant Catarrhal Fever Malignant Catarrhal Fever MALIGNANT CATARRHAL FEVER Dr Corrie Brown Another word of thanks to Dr Corrie Brown who believes that sharing information will make the world a better place. Dr Brown generously has shared her work on this subject to add to the depth of this work. Malignant Catarrhal Fever Diseases Notifiable to the OIE Cattle diseases Bovine anaplasmosis Bovine babesiosis Bovine genital campylobacteriosis Bovine spongiform encephalopathy Bovine tuberculosis Bovine viral diarrhoea Contagious bovine pleuropneumonia Enzootic bovine leukosis Haemorrhagic septicaemia Infectious bovine rhinotracheitis/infectious Lumpky skin disease Malignant catarrhal fever Theileriosis Trichomonosis Trypanosomosis (tsetse-transmitted) Malignant Catarrhal Fever pustular vulvovaginitis Malignant Catarrhal Fever Malignant catarrhal fever, is an infectious disease of ruminants. It is also referred to as malignant catarrh, malignant head catarrh, and gangrenous coryza. In South Africa it may also be called “snotsiekte” which means “snotting sickness” Malignant Catarrhal Fever Malignant Catarrhal Fever Malignant catarrhal fever is a sporadic, usually fatal, pansystemic disease of cattle and deer characterized by low morbidity but high mortality, high fever, catarrhal inflammation of the upper respiratory tract and the digestive tract, dehydration, conjunctivitis, generalized lymphadenopathy and epithelial lesions. Malignant Catarrhal Fever Malignant Catarrhal Fever Contents Etiology Host range Transmission Incubation Clinical signs Diagnosis Differential Diagnosis Malignant Catarrhal Fever Etiology Wildebeest derived MCF is caused by Alcelaphine herpesvirus type 1(AHV-1) Sheep associated MCF is caused by Ovine herpesvirus-2 (OVH-2) Malignant Catarrhal Fever Etiology and Caprine herpesvirus type 2 All are Lymphotropic Cell-associated Gamma family herpesviruses Malignant Catarrhal Fever Etiology Wildebeest-derived – Occurs wherever wildebeest live – Alcelaphine herpesvirus-1 Sheep-associated – Endemic, worldwide; sheep is the natural reservoir host – Ovine herpesvirus-2 Goat-derived – Goats are the natural reservoir host. – Caprine herpesvirus-2 – Seen in deer as alopecia, weight loss syndrome Malignant Catarrhal Fever Etiology All varieties of domestic sheep in North America are carriers of ovine herpesvirus-2 (OVH-2). Malignant Catarrhal fever in these natural hosts does not produce clinical disease. Likewise, goats are endemically infected with caprine herpesvirus-2 (CpHV-2) which apparently only causes clinical disease in deer. Malignant Catarrhal Fever Etiology The disease expression in “sheep-associated” MCF and “wildebeest-derived” MCF is very similar. Malignant Catarrhal Fever Host Range The disease can occur in cattle, domesticated buffaloes, a wide range of captive antelopes and deer, and free-living deer. Malignant Catarrhal Fever Host Range Under natural conditions only domestic cattle and deer develop clinical signs MCF has never been reported in freeliving wild animals in Africa Malignant Catarrhal Fever Host Range In zoological collections a wide variety of ruminant species have been reported to develop clinical signs Rabbits can be infected experimentally Malignant Catarrhal Fever Host Range It was recently confirmed in pigs in Scandinavia Malignant Catarrhal Fever Reservoir ruminant species Blue wildebeest Black wildebeest Domestic sheep Goats Malignant Catarrhal Fever Blue Wildebeest Malignant Catarrhal Fever Black Wildebeest Malignant Catarrhal Fever Transmission Neonatal and adolescent wildebeest shed virus Malignant Catarrhal Fever Transmission from reservoir animals to domestic cattle, deer contact with calving wildebeest contact with lambing sheep Malignant Catarrhal Fever Cattle are more susceptible to Wildebeest derived MCF than to the sheep or goat MCF Malignant Catarrhal Fever Transmission Transmission of the virus is associated with lambing time of sheep or calving season of wildebeest when the virus can be shed from nasal secretions. After this period the virus occurs only as cell-associated, not free virus Malignant Catarrhal Fever Transmission Droplets and aerosol dispersal of free virus may contaminate feed and water sources Transmission to cattle mostly occurs by inhalation of droplets shed from ewes that are lambing Malignant Catarrhal Fever Natural transmission of the virus Wildebeest to cattle Wildebeest to other ruminants Wildebeest to deer Sheep to cattle Sheep to other ruminants Sheep to deer Deer to susceptible species Deer to deer Goats to susceptible species Cattle to cattle X Malignant Catarrhal Fever ? ? Quite likely Congenital Transmission Cow will die then later calf will die Malignant Catarrhal Fever Pathogenesis Virus infects “natural killer” lymphocytes and transforms them. Transformed cells then replicate as if they were neoplastic and attack host. Terminal necrotizing lesions are believed to be the result of an autoimmune type phenomenon. Vessels and stratified squamous mucosal surfaces are attacked. Malignant Catarrhal Fever Incubation Unknown for natural infections. Some animals are subclinically infected and only demonstrate symptoms when stressed. Some evidence indicates up to 200 days Experimentally incubation periods may be from 7 to 77 days Malignant Catarrhal Fever Malignant Catarrhal Fever: Clinical Signs In some cases MCF presents as chronic alopecia and weight loss as with deer infected with the Caprine herpesvirus. However, MCF is typically fatal. Malignant Catarrhal Fever Clinical Signs There are many factors that affect the duration of the disease in different species The severity of the clinical symptoms will depend on those factors. Mortality is usually 100% but some animals face weeks of progressive disease For this reasons, once the disease is identified, most elect to euthanized the affected animal. Malignant Catarrhal Fever Clinical Signs High fever 106-107°F (41-41.5°C) Depression In deer - sudden death Deer and bison that survive 2-3 days: – Hemorrhagic diarrhea – Bloody urine – Corneal opacity – Then death Malignant Catarrhal Fever Clinical Signs The longer the animal survives the course of the disease the more severe the signs become. For example, animals that die acutely may not develop lymphadenopathy or corneal opacity Malignant Catarrhal Fever As the disease progresses: Catarrhal inflammation Erosions and exudates in upper respiratory tract, ocular and oral mucosa Swollen lymph nodes Lameness CNS signs (depression, tremors, stupor, hypo-responsive, aggression, convulsions Malignant Catarrhal Fever Clinical Signs On average the time to death for European cattle is longer than for deer, bison and water buffalo; usually 7-17 days after the appearance of clinical signs In cattle the swollen lymph nodes and severe eye lesions are more frequent Malignant Catarrhal Fever Clinical Signs Hemorrhagic enteritis and cystitis are more frequently seen in bison and deer than in cattle Skin lesions are common in animals that do not succumb quickly Most eventually die, about 5% recover clinically Malignant Catarrhal Fever Clinical signs Depressed and VERY SICK Stertorous respiration Enlarged lymph nodes Malignant Catarrhal Fever Clinical Signs Animals suffer, are painful and breathe with difficulty Malignant Catarrhal Fever Clinical Signs Secondary bacterial bronchopneumonia may be eventual cause of death if not euthanized first Malignant Catarrhal Fever Clinical Signs Painful swollen eyes Malignant Catarrhal Fever Clinical Signs Ocular and nasal discharge Malignant Catarrhal Fever Clinical Signs “snotsiekte” Malignant Catarrhal Fever Mucopurulent discharge, crusting occludes the nostril; animal begins open mouth breathing. Malignant Catarrhal Fever Malignant Catarrhal Fever Malignant Catarrhal Fever Characteristic of MCF Early corneal opacity begins at the limbus Progresses to total opacity Malignant Catarrhal Fever Clinical Signs Severe panophthalmitis, hypopion, corneal erosions are more frequent in cattle Malignant Catarrhal Fever Severe Ocular lesions Painful Conjunctivitis Malignant Catarrhal Fever Severe Ocular lesions Progresses to corneal opacity beginning at Limbus Malignant Catarrhal Fever Severe Ocular lesions Characteristic eye lesions Malignant Catarrhal Fever Severe Ocular lesions Characteristic eye lesions Malignant Catarrhal Fever Severe Ocular lesions Malignant Catarrhal Fever Oral Lesions Erosions on gums, dental pad and near teeth Malignant Catarrhal Fever Oral Lesions Erosions near the teeth Malignant Catarrhal Fever Oral Lesions Necrosis of papillae similar to rinderpest Malignant Catarrhal Fever Oral Lesions Erosions here are similar to bluetongue in Africa Malignant Catarrhal Fever Oral Lesions Erosions of papillae Malignant Catarrhal Fever Oral Lesions Malignant Catarrhal Fever Erosions in squamous (anterior) portion of nasal cavity Malignant Catarrhal Fever Enlarged and edematous lymph nodes Malignant Catarrhal Fever Moist necrotic dermatitis with exudation and encrustations Skin lesions associated with both sheep form and wildebeest derived. Resembles foot-and-mouth disease Malignant Catarrhal Fever Mild diarrhea sometimes seen which is black and tarry, but not effusive Malignant Catarrhal Fever In terminal stages CNS symptoms: falling, circling, head pressing, high stepping convulsions, then death Malignant Catarrhal Fever Clinical Signs in Swine From a case in Norway: Symptoms reported as: hyperemic conjunctiva, vomiting, restlessness and anorexia. The rectal temperature was 41° C, the respiratory rate was 33 per minute, and the heart rate was 110 per minute. Despite parenteral antibiotic treatment, the symptoms worsened and the pig died 5 days after onset of disease. Over a short period, three other adult swine in the same herd died after showing similar clinical signs.
