Q

T/F Bordatella bronchiseptica causes epithelial damage in pigs

A

TRUE; epithelium of the trachea is eventually lost

17
Q

T/F Bordatella bronchiseptica causes epethelial damage in dogs

18
Q

A

aerosol
high

A

14 months

1 to several weeks

20

A

Via ingestion of contaminated water or litter

30
Q

What is the pathogenesis of Bordatella avium?

A

Pretty much the same as all the other ones; attaches to the epithelium in teh trachea and causes interference with clearance mechanisms

31
Q

What are some signs in birds infected with Bordatella avium? Are secondary invaders common?
