Arteriviruses Flashcards
1) Arterivirus, the virulence is highly variable
T
1) The equine viral arteritis is caused by an arterivirus.
T
2) Serological tests can NOT be used for laboratory detection of equine viral arteritis
F
3) Red blood cells can be used for laboratory detection of equine viral arteritis virus
F
4) Nasal fluid can be used for laboratory detection of equine viral arteritis virus
T
5) A semen sample can be used for laboratory detection of equine viral arteritis virus
T
6) Equine arteritis virus is very resistant to physical damages
F
7) Equine viral arteritis is usually asymptomatic
T
8) In cases of equine viral arteritis, the rate of seroconverted animals increases with age
T (I’m not sure)
9) The main target cells of equine viral arteritis are macrophage
T
10) Equine Viral arteritis (EVA) virus can affect donkeys
T
11) The persistence of EVA virus within one herd is usually caused by the stallions
T
12) EVA is transmitted by sexual and aerogenic pathways
T
13) After EVA virus infection, mortality rate is low
T
14) Equine arteritis virus is very resistant to physical damage
F
15) Equine viral arteritis is usually asymptomatic
T
16) The main target cells of equine viral arteritis virus are macrophages
T
17) EVA can affect donkeys
T
18) EVA can cause persistent virus carrying.
T
19) EVA is transmitted sexual and aerogenic
T
20) After EVA infection mortality rate is low
T (I’m not sure)
21) Equine Viral Arteritis virus can infect by inhalation
T
22) Vaccine against Equine Viral Arteritis is never used in Europe
F
23) The Equine Viral Arteritis is caused by retrovirus
F
24) The equine viral arteritis virus cannot damage the wall of blood vessel
F
25) The equine viral arteritis virus usually causes asymptomatic infection
T
26) The equine viral arteritis virus rarely causes asymptomatic infection
F
27) The equine viral arteritis virus can cause persistent infections
T
28) The equine viral arteritis virus always causes clinical symptoms
F
29) EVA is spread by insect vectors
F
31) Equine viral arteritis causes reproductive problems/impotence in stallions.
T
32) Acute equine viral arteritis is similar to Equine infectious anaemia
T
33) Equine viral arteritis in mare is reactivated in pregnancy
F
34) Equine viral arteritis, aborted embryos have degenerated liver
F
35) Mares are frequently life-long carriers of the Equine arteritis virus.
F
36) Subcutaneous oedema is a frequent sign of equine viral arteritis
T
37) Pregnant mares usually abort in the acute phase of equine viral arteritis
T
38) Equine viral arteritis is diagnosed by agarose-gel immunodiffusion (Coggins test)
F
39) The Equine arteritis virus may cause abortion in pregnant mares
T
40) Vaccination of colts before puberty can prevent the development of EAV-carrier status
T
41) Stallions may be long-term carriers of the Equine arteritis virus
T
42) Conjunctivitis and subcutaneous oedema are possible signs of equine viral arteritis.
T
43) Equine viral arteritis virus can infect through nasal route
