Ibex-Associated Malignant Catarrhal Fever in Duikers (Cephalophus Spp)

Abstract: Eight duikers, representing 3 different species cohoused in a single zoological collection, died in a 10-month period. Black, red-flanked, and yellow-backed duikers were affected, appearing clinically with a combination of anorexia, diarrhea, ataxia, tremors, and/or stupor, followed by death within 72 hours of onset of clinical signs. Consistent gross findings were pulmonary ecchymoses (8/8), generalized lymphadenomegaly (6/8), ascites (5/8), and pleural effusion (4/8). Dense lymphocyte infiltrates an… Show more

“…Mortalities in captive or free-ranging artiodactyls associated with gammaherpesvirus are caused mainly by Macavirus and MCF ( 15 , 16 , 18 20 , 41 51 ), suggesting that the current and future causes of mortality in both species of Chilean deer could be linked to infection by ovine gammaherpesvirus-2 or caprine gammaherpesvirus-2. The fact that fatal cases of infection by MCF have not been reported in Chilean cervids to date could be because of the inability to detect sick and dead animals in the field, calling for further efforts.…”

“…All these agents can cause devastating illness at the individual or population level and represent a threat to animal health and conservation. In cervids, different species of the Alpha-, Beta-, and Gammaherpesvirinae subfamilies have been described as potential agents of various diseases, including cervid herpesvirus-2 (CvHV-2), which causes infectious keratoconjunctivitis ( 9 ), alcelaphine gammaherpesvirus-1 (AlHV-1), alcelaphine gammaherpesvirus-2 (AlHV-2), ovine gammaherpesvirus-2 (OvHV-2), caprine gammaherpesvirus-2 (CpHV-2), hippotragine HV-1 (HiHV-1), ibex-MCFV, and caprine gammaherpesvirus-3, which cause MCF ( 10 16 ), and bovine herpesvirus-1, which causes infectious bovine rhinotracheitis ( 17 ). Although herpesviruses have been widely investigated, little is known about herpesvirus prevalence and host specificity in cervid species in wild environments.…”

“…Особое внимание уделяется изучению иммунологических механизмов проявления болезни, что в перспективе позволит решить вопрос с её лечением и профилактикой. На данный момент эффективные методы лечения и вакцинации не разработаны, что приводит к экономическим и социальным последствиям во многих странах мира [3]. В Российской Федерации борьба со злокачественной катаральной горячкой регламентируется, очевидно, устаревшими нормативными актами 1 , что негативно сказывается как на регистрации болезни, так и в борьбе с ней.…”

“…Материалом для исследования служат кровь, ткани легких, селезенки, лимфатических узлов, трахеи, печени, почек, головного мозга, мозжечка. Десквамированный эпителий ротовой полости и глотки, как и образцы истечений, не могут служить материалом для диагностики ЗКГ, поскольку патологические процессы в ротовой полости и глотке вызваны воздействием компонентов иммунной системы, а не вируса 4 [3].…”
