2. VESICULAR STOMATITIS

3. VESICULAR STOMATITIS
 It is a disease in which vesicle formation
and inflammation of mucus membrane
of oral cavity occurs
 Vesicles means small elevated
circumscribe area having serous fluid
 While pustule have pus and elevated
circumscribed area

4. ETIOLOGY
 It is a viral disease caused
by VS virus belongs to
genus vesicular virus,
family Rabdoviridae.
 It is a bullet shape and
RNA virus
 The virus is susceptible to
environmental influences
 It is a fragile virus.
 Common antiseptics can
be used i.e povidone
iodine,KMNO4 etc to kill
the virus.

5. EPIDEMOLOGY
 WHO:
 It is important disease of Horses &
Cattles.It can also affect
Camel,Pig,Human,Sheep & Goat.
 WHERE:
 Disease is limited to western
hemisphere, It is pandemic in
Mexico,Panama,USA ,venzuella &
Brazil.

6. Cont…
 WHEN:
 Disease occurs in summer & autumn.
 TRANSMISSION:
 Mainly occurs through insects i.e Blck flies
& sand fly (biological vectors).
 Mechanically disease can be transmitted
through direct contact or close indirect
contact.
 Mortality: Nil in horses, 5% in cattle.
 Morbidity: 10-20%.

7. PATHOGENESIS
Entry of the virus to body--- through blood
virus disseminate to different organs/tissues
but predilection site include mucosal
membrane of oral cavity, skin at interdigital
cleft& skin of teat--- virus replicates there
forming vesicles------  vesicles ruptures
forming ulcers-----  ulcers recovers within
10days if no secondary bacterial infection is
there-----  clinical signs appears

8. CLINICAL FINDINGS
 Fever{mild}
 Vesicles in mouth,tounge, lips,
dental pad
 Ulcer in feet and teat
 Salivation
 Lesions in teats may lead to secondary
mastitis
 Anorexia

9. DIAGNOSIS
On the basis of signs and symptoms
Confirmatory diagnosis by Lab test
It includes
PCR
Eliza
CFT

10. DIFFERENTIAL
DIAGNOSIS
 FMD:
 DIFFERENTIAL POINTS:
 In case of FMD high fever while in VS mild
fever is there
 FMD effects only cloven hooved animals
while in case of VS equines are also
effected
 Incase of FMD morbidly and mortality rate
is higher while low in VS

11.  Abortion also occurs in FMD
 In FMD young animals are more fatel.
 BVD:
 DIFFERENTIAL POINTS:
 It involves GIT, so there will be diarrhea,
abortion, early embryonic mortality,
congenital malformation while BVD only
effects bovine

12. CONT…
 MCF:
 DIFFERENTIAL POINTS:
 In FMD there is swelling of lymph nodes
while no swelling of LN in MCF
 MCF cause corneal opacity while no
corneal opacity in VS

13.  COW POX
 DIFFERENTIAL POINTS:
 Scabby lesions in pox while in VS
ulcerative lesions are present
 BLUE TONGUE
 DIFFERENTIAL POINTS:
 Diarrhea
 Cynotic tongue in BT

14.  RINDERPEST:
 DIFFERENTIAL POINTS:
 Necrotic stomatitis in rinderpest while in
VS the lesions are vesicular.
 Shooting diarrhea in rinderpest
 PPR:
 DIFFERENTIAL POINTS:
 Necrotic stomatitis in PPR

15.  Diarrhea in PPR
 Pneumonia in PPR while no pneumonia
in VS
 ORF
 DIFFERENTIAL POINTS:
 Scabby lesions in orf
 Lesions are proliferative

16. TREATMENT
 Since it is viral infection so no
specific treatment is given,
supportive therapy is given to
control infection;
 Broad spectrum antibiotics
 {amoxicllin,ampicillin,
gentamycin, oxytetracycline,
enrofloxacin etc}
 NSAIDS
 {Flunixin meglumin}

17.  FLUID therapy
 Ringer lectate
 Topical antiseptics
 KMno4
 multivitamins

18. PREVENTION
 Control of insects by use of
insecticides like;
 Nagavan, sagavan, tegafon
 Use of ivermectin, cypermethrin
 Qurantine measures
 Vaccination not effective
 Isolation of sick animals
 Maintain hygienic and control condition.
