(in general)
T
Antibiotics cannot be used successfully for treatment of actinobacillosis

F
arthritis
Exhausting work can predispose horses to actinobacillosis
T
Umbilical infection of new-born foals can result actinobacillosis.
T
Equine actinobacillosis is a septicaemic disease in new-born foals
T
Equine actinobacillosis is caused by Actinobacillus lignieresii
F
Equine actinobacillosis is caused by Actinobacillus equuli
T
Pyosepticaemia of horses is caused by Actinobacillus equuli
T
The agent of pyosepticaemia of horses is a facultative pathogenic bacterium
T
Oedema can be frequently seen in the case of pyosepticaemia of horses
T
horses are regularly vaccinated in order to prevent actinobacillosis of foals
F
deprivation or shortage of colostrum can predispose foals to actinobacillosis:
T
abscesses in the parenchymal organs can be seen in the case of actinobacillosis of newborn
foals
T
Timber tongue is caused by actinobacillus in foals
F
Lack of umbilical disinfection can lead to actinobacillosis in foals
T
Clinical signs of the central nervous system are typical in the case of actinobacillosis of foals.
F
Wooden tongue is a typical clinical sign of equine actinobacillosis
F
Young foals are regularly vaccinated in order to prevent actinobacillosis
F
Actinobacillus equuli is the causative agent of equine actinobacillosis.
T
Shortage of colostrum can predispose foals to actinobacillosis.
T
Central nervous clinical signs are typical in the case of actinobacillosis of foals
F
Abscesses in the kidney are typical post mortem lesions of actinobacillosis of foals
T
Actinobacillosis can cause lameness due to encephalitis in foal.
F
Actinobacillosis is caused by A. equuli in horses
T
Most important way of infection is via the umbilicus in case of Actinobacillosis in horses.
T
Animals will not move due to high fever and encephalitis in case of Actinobacillosis in horses
F
Tetracyclines can cure the disease at any time in case of Actinobacillosis in horses
F
Paralysis of foals (in actinobacillosis) is the result of umbilical infection
T
The so called pyosepticemia of adult horses (in actinobacillosis) occurs due to predisposing
factors
T
A. equuli is present in healthy horses as well
T
Antibiotics can be used in treatment of A. equuli
T
Oedema of the head is the most prominent clinical sign of A. equuli.
T
Draught horses are more predisposed to the disease in case of A. equuli
T
A. equuli is a common disease in some areas of the world
