Breakout from Pneumonia Outbreaks Viral causes of pneumonia deserve special mention because they often precede cases of secondary bacterial pneumonia. The main viral causes of pneumonia in cattle include Infectious Bovine Rhinotracheitis (IBR), Parainfluenza 3 (PI3), Bovine Respiratory Syncyntial Virus (BRSV) and Bovine Viral Diarrhea Virus (BVD).

Lobar pneumonia Lobar pneumonia of the middle lobe. (Notice sharp edges). The most common organisms which cause lobar pneumonia are Streptococcus pneumoniae, also called pneumococcus, Haemophilus influenzae and Moraxella catarrhalis.

Viral Pneumonia Causes. Viruses that can lead to pneumonia include: 1  Influenza (flu) A and B viruses are the most common causes in adults. 2  Respiratory syncytial virus, or RSV, is more common in infants and children than in adults. 3  Others include coronaviruses, rhinoviruses, parainfluenza viruses, and adenoviruses, which can also cause pinkeye.

- The most common cause of pneumonia is bacterial infection, and many different bacteria can cause the condition, producing mild to severe cases. Bacterial pneumonia can occur independently or following illnesses, such as colds, flu or upper respiratory infections. Fungi. Certain types of fungus can cause pneumonia.

Pneumonia Can Be PreventedâVaccines Can Help Causes and Types of Pneumonia. Pneumonia can be caused by viruses, bacteria, and fungi. In the United States, common causes of viral pneumonia are influenza and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), and a common cause of bacterial pneumonia is Streptococcus pneumoniae (pneumococcus).

Blackleg and other clostridial diseases in cattle With malignant edema, caused by a number of different clostridial bacteria, muscle or skin is infected with bacteria, toxins are produced, and death can result. Malignant edema is very similar to blackleg in that it results in gas production in the muscle, followed by severe swelling in body tissues.ifferent species of animals have different susceptibili­ties to clostridial disease. Blackleg is probably the most common clostridial disease seen in cattle in the southeastern United States, while tetanus is the most common clostridial disease in horses.

Cattle Diseases Cattle Diseases. Calf Pneumonia. Calf pneumonia is a respiratory disease caused by inflammation in the lungs, primarily the alveoli (air sacs). It is a multifactorial disease caused by a range of organisms including viruses, bacteria and mycoplasmas. Environmental factors are also extremely crucial in managing the disease.

Blackleg and other clostridial diseases in cattle Blackleg seldom affects cattle older than 2 years of age, most likely due to immunity induced by vaccines or natural exposure. However, sporadic cases do occur in cattle older than 2 years and are often associated with the reuse of needles for multiple injections.owever, there are more than 60 different types of Clostridium bacteria, and not all cause disease. What we commonly call blackleg is a highly fatal infection caused by Clostridium chauvoei, resulting in a gas gangrene in the muscle of young cattle, usually occurring between 4 months and 2 years of age.

Viral Pneumonia Two of the most publicized viral infections causing pneumonia are SARS and H1N1 swine flu. Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), which is caused by a virus in the coronavirus family, had a major outbreak in 2003 with an estimated 8,000 cases and 750 deaths.

- Mannheimia haemolytica serotype 1 is the bacterium most frequently isolated from the lungs of cattle with BRD. Although less frequently cultured, Pasteurella multocida is also an important cause of bacterial pneumonia. Histophilus somni is being increasingly recognized as an important pathogen in BRD; these bacteria are normal inhabitants of the nasopharynx of cattle (see Histophilosis).

Breakout from Pneumonia Outbreaks Breakout from Pneumonia Outbreaks. Due to the time of year, weather and associated management changes, we are right in the middle of livestock pneumonia season. However, good managers know how to recognize early cases and treat for best outcomes. More importantly, they know how to reduce the factors that put animals at risk of this serious disease.

Pneumonia - Cause Viruses, bacteria, a fungus, or (in rare cases) parasites or other organisms can cause pneumonia. 1  In most cases, the specific organism (such as bacteria or virus) cannot be identified even with testing.2  When an organism is identified, it is usually the bacteria Streptococcus pneumoniae. During or after a viral upper respiratory infection, such as a cold or influenza (flu). 2  As a complication of a viral illness, such as measles or chickenpox. 3  If you breathe large amounts of food, gastric juices from the stomach, or vomit into the lungs (aspiration pneumonia).

Chlamydia psittaci Chlamydophila psittaci is a lethal intracellular bacterial species that may cause endemic avian chlamydiosis, epizootic outbreaks in mammals, and respiratory psittacosis in humans. Potential hosts include feral birds and domesticated poultry as well as cattle, pigs, sheep and horses.Chlamydophila psittaci is transmitted by inhalation, contact or ingestion among birds and to mammals. Psittacosis in birds and in humans often starts with flu-like symptoms and becomes a life-threatening pneumonia.otential hosts include feral birds and domesticated poultry as well as cattle, pigs, sheep and horses.

- Pneumonia is common in domestic rabbits. Frequently, it is a secondary and complicating factor in the enteritis complex. The cause is typically Pasteurella multocida, but other bacteria such as Klebsiella pneumoniae, Bordetella bronchiseptica, Staphylococcus aureus, and pneumococci may be involved.

Animal Transmitted Diseases Q fever is a bacterial disease caused by Coxiella burnetii and primarily affects cattle, sheep, and goats, although other livestock and pets can carry the bacteria. Most animals have no symptoms, but infection may cause abortion in sheep and goats.vian influenza (bird flu) refers to the disease caused by avian influenza A viruses. These viruses occur naturally among wild waterbirds, and can infect poultry and other birds and animals. On rare occasions avian influenza viruses can infect people causing illness.

- TB (Bovine Tuberculosis) Tuberculosis (TB) in cattle is caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium bovis. The disease incidence is increasing and is highest in the southwest of England (Clifton-Hadley, 1993). M. bovis is killed by sunlight, but is resistant to desiccation and can survive in a wide range of acids and alkalis.
