Actinobacillus pleuropneumonia of swine Flashcards
Actinobacillus pleuropneumonia of pigs: rare, sporadic disease mainly in tropical or
subtropical countries
F
Mainly attenuated vaccines are used for the prevention of actinobacillus pleuropneumonia
of swine
F
Atten can be used but its mainly inact toxoid
Cytotoxins are virulence factors of Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae.
T
Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae of pigs can be chronic
T
Histophilus somni and actinobacillus seminis can cause similar lesions in the genitals of rams as Brucella ovis.
T
Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae of pigs is generally a septicemic disease.
F
circoviruses and PRRS virus can predispose pigs to actinobacillus pleuropneumonia
T
actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae predisposes pigs to pulmonary pasteurellosis:
T
Lesions of actinobacillus pleuropneumonia of pigs are generally limited to the lungs:
T
Haemorrhagic necrotic pneumonia is a typical lesion of actinobacillus pleuropneumonia of swine:
T
Actinobacillus pleuropneumonia of pigs is generally a septicaemic disease
F
Pigs are susceptible to actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae
T
The lesions of actinobacillus pleuropneumonia of swine are mainly located in the anterior
lung lobes
F
High fever is a clinical sign of Actinobacillus pleuropneumonia of Swine
T
Only pigs are susceptible to Actinobacillus pleuropneumonia
T
Fever is a typical sign of Actinobacillus pleuropneumonia of pigs
T
Fibrinous pleuritis is a post mortem lesion of Actinobacillus pleuropneumonia of pig
T
Fibrinous pneumonia is a post mortem lesion of Actinobacillus pleuropneumonia of pigs
F
haem-necrotic
Porcine APP is caused by Actinobacillus pleuropneumonia
T
In case of porcine APP we can see hemorrhagic, necrotic pneumonia
T
By APP the lesions are primarily found in the cranial lobes of the lung
F
APP causes focal inflammation-necrosis in the liver
F
Actinobacillus pleuropneumonia of swine is caused by Actinobacillus suis
F
Cytotoxins are produced by the agent of porcine Actinobacillus pneumonia
T
Lesions of porcine Actinobacillus pleuropneumonia are mainly seen in the diaphragmatic
lobe.
T
Only live attenuated vaccines are used for the prevention of porcine actinobacillosis
F
inact toxoid + live +recomb
Biotype 2 causes more severe disease in case of actinobacillosis in swine
F
To culture the bacterium actinobacillus in swine, cross culture with staphylococcus is
needed
T
Actinobacillus pleuropneumonia is caused by an obligate pathogen
F
Actinobacillus pleuropneumonia infection in swine occurs in fattening animals
T
Actinobacillus pleuropneumonia infection in swine spread via tracheal discharge
T
A. pleuropneumonia strains can cause pneumonia in swine and cattle
F
Biotype 1 strains of A. pleuropneumonia cause more severe disease than biotype 2
T
Swine Actinobacillus pleuropneumonia occurs in growers and fattening animals.
T
In swine actinobacillus pleuropneumonia, herd treatment with antibiotics should be done
T
Swine Actinobacillus pleuropneumonia can be prevented by toxoid vaccine
T
Toxins are important virulence factors of A. pleuropneumonia strains
T
A. pleuropneumonia type 2 biotype strain widely cause disease
F
The 1st biotype of APP strains causes disease in large number of animals
T
The 2nd biotype of APP strains cause disease in large number of animals.
F
Purulent nasal discharge can be seen in case of APP in swine
F
purulent = secondary infections
Actinobacillus pleuropneumonia can be introduced by rodents into the pig farm
F
In swine actinobacillus pleuropneumonia, the changes are seen in the caudal lung lobes
T
