Bovine Viral diarrhoea Flashcards
BVDV can be frequently detected in the background of respiratory diseases
True
BVD virus is particularly resistant to disinfectants
False
Rodents play a central role in the maintenance of BVD virus in the environment
False
Cytopathic and non-cytopathic biotypes of the Bovine Viral Diarrhoea (BVD) virus are known
True
In utero infection with non-cytopathic BVDV can cause seropositivity of the newborn calf
True
Non cytopathic strains of Bovine viral diarrhoea virus (BVDV) can cause hydrocephalus and cerebellar hypoplasia
False
In utero infection with non cytopathic BVDV can cause immunotolerance
True
In utero infection with cytopathic BVDV strain results immunotolerant calves
False
Swine are not susceptible to BVD
False
Two serotypes of the BVD virus are known so far, serotype 2 is more virulent
True
False? 2 genotypes but 1 serotype?
Pigs infected with BVDV turn seropositive to classical swine fever
True
Persistently infected cattle can maintain BVDV in a farm

False
Intrauterine BVD virus infection always causes abortion
False
Cattle which are immune tolerant to BVD virus may develop mucosal disease
True
In sheep BVDV causes symptoms similar to border disease
True
Mucosal disease can develop in cattle persistently infected with BVDV
