Pathology and Pathogenesis of the Disease

  • Chapter
Classical Swine Fever and Related Viral Infections

Part of the book series: Developments in Veterinary Virology ((DVVI,volume 5))

Abstract

In this chapter the gross pathology and the light and electron microscopical changes occurring in the acute and chronic form of Classical Swine Fever (CSF) will be described and their pathogenesis discussed. It will then be shown that in recent years considerable progress has been made in the understanding of the pathogenesis of consumptive coagulopathy and disseminated intravascular coagulation. A special problem presents the transplacental infection of the developing foetus. These infections may result in prenatal death, the development of a number of foetal abnormalities, stillbirth and, most important, congenital persistent HC virus infection. The chapter concludes with a discussion of the viral pathogenesis of this disease.
