14. Malignant Catarrhal Fever in a 1-Year-Old Heifer

    ...scientific literature indicates weaning-age lambs are the primary risk in MCF viral shedding. Differentials for MCF include Bovine Viral Diarrhea (BVD), BT, and Rinderpest, a foreign animal disease. In cattle dying of MCF, a broad sampling of tissues exhibiting gross lesions to include both fresh and fixed samples will provide the best opportunities for definitive identification. This would include ulcerative lesions, enlarged lymph nodes, and org...

    ...CF) and Blue Tongue (BT) viruses followed. BT virus was not detected, but MCF was positive with a ct value of 28.40. MCF is caused by viruses of the Macavirus genus that are in the Herpesviridae family (Gammaherpesvirinae subfamily). Two major groups of MCF viruses include one that primarily affects exotic even-toed ungulates and one in sheep, goats, and white-tailed deer. The viruses are named after the reservoir host which serve as carriers. Of...

16. Testing Options for Anaplasma marginale in Cattle

    ...ught to be most useful in detecting acute infections, it is now unclear if CF testing can detect acute infections any sooner than other antibody tests. Therefore, while CF tests will yield a titer, unless it is required for export purposes, this testing method is no longer recommended for routine diagnostics.2 Anaplasma marginale on blood smear – Giemsa stain.

17. Fungal Panel III

    Detection of antibodies to Blastomyces, Coccidioides, Histoplasma, and Aspergillus by agar gel immunodiffusion (AGID); antibodies to Coccidioides, Histoplasma and Aspergillus by complement fixation (CF); and antigen to Cryptococcus neoformans by latex agglutination. Cryptococcus is tested at 1:2 through the endpoint titer; the CF tests are tested at 1:8 through the endpoint titer.

19. Malignant Catarrhal Fever (rtPCR)

    Detection of malignant catarrhal fever (MCF) by real-time PCR. This test can distinguish between the ovine, ibex, white tail deer, caprine and alcelaphine herpesvirus-1 strains of MCF.

20. Epizootic hemorrhagic disease (EHD) in White-Tailed deer

    ...erential diagnoses of EHD in WTD includes BTV, malignant catarrhal fever (MCF) and adenovirus infection. In cattle, it can be confused with other vesiculo-ulcerative diseases such as foot and mouth disease (FMD), vesicular stomatitis (VS), bovine viral diarrhea (BVD) and malignant catarrhal fever (MCF). Serum is used for the detection of EHDV antibodies by the AGID test, virus neutralization or ELISA. EHDV can be isolated in cell culture from hepa...

    Detection of antibodies to alcelaphine herpesvirus 1 (AlHV-1) and ovine herpesvirus 2 (OvHV-2), the causative agents of malignant catarrhal fever (MCF) using the Immunoperoxidase test (IPT). All antibody positive IPT samples will be tested by the VN to differentiate between AlHV-1 and OvHV-2, resulting in two test charges (IPT and VN).

Regardless of method, it should be noted that antibody testing for fungal organisms is not always reliable, especially for Histoplasma.2 In those cases where history, clinical signs, and other diagnostic findings are strongly suggestive of a fungal infection but an antibody test yields negative results, other tes...
