Arteriviruses COPY 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
F because cs only seen in horse and pony
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
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
