Akabane Disease in Cattle
Akabane is a viral disease transmitted by mosquitoes and biting midges that affects cattle and less frequently sheep and goats. It is also commonly known as “curly calf disease” due to the deformities it can cause in foetuses when cows are infected with the virus during pregnancy. The stage of pregnancy during which the cow is infected determines the range and severity of clinical signs seen. C...
متن کاملAkabane Disease
Akabane disease is a viral disease of ruminants that is mainly characterized by fetal damage. Inapparent infections in adults can lead months later to abortions, stillbirths and congenital defects in newborns. Most affected neonates die or must be euthanized. Before vaccines were developed, Akabane disease caused significant economic losses in some countries. Between 1972 and 1975, this virus r...
متن کاملSeroprevalence and Risk factors of Akabane Virus Infection in cattle from Khouzestan Province of Iran
Background and Aims: Akabane virus is an arbovirus in the genus Orthobunyavirus of the family Bunyaviridae that can affect ruminants such as cattle, sheep and goats. This arthropod-borne virus is transmitted by either mosquitoes or midges and has been identified as a cause of outbreaks of reproductive disorders (abortions, premature births, and stillbirths) and congenital malformations (arthrog...
متن کاملSevere hydrocephalus associated with congenital varicella syndrome.
Congenital varicella syndrome refers to the spectrum of fetal anomalies associated with maternal varicella zoster virus (VZV) infection during the first trimester of pregnancy. The syndrome is rare and the risk to the fetus uncertain. We describe an unusual case of congenital varicella syndrome in which hydrocephalus was the main consequence and likely represented VZV reactivation in utero.
متن کاملCongenital hypoplastic anemia inhibition of erythropoiesis by sera from patients with congenital hypoplastic anemia.
An in vitro marrow culture assay designed to measure erythropoietic capability was used to ascertain the presence of an inhibitor in the sera of patients with congenital hypoplastic anemia (CHA). Marrow cells from nine anemic CHA patients responded to the stimulatory effect of exogenous erythropoietin (EPO) by an increase in heme synthesis in the presence of normal serum. The effect on heme syn...
