herd replacement is same
B. suis biotype 2 is widespread in wild swine population all over the world

worldwide yes and boars
Swine brucellosis can be treated successfully with antibiotics
F
Brucella suis was isolated by Sir David Bruce as a first time in 1886 in Malta Island
F
pou ton malaka ton diko mas to suis
Maintaining host of swine brucellosis are reindeer, hare and small rodents
F
wild boars
Brucellosis in swine causes abortion at any time of the pregnancy
T
Chronic cases of brucellosis cause lameness in both boars and sows
T
Calves can be infected with brucellae during pregnancy if the cow is infected
F
The maintaining host of Bruecella abortus is the goat and the sheep
F
Calves can be born with Brucella
F
Brucellosis of cattle is mainly limited to the genital tract
F
In the case of bovine brucellosis abortion usually occurs after fifth month of gestation
T
The S19 strain is an inactivated B. melitensis strain, which can be used for brucellosis
F
ABR test cannot be used to test colostrum
T
Bovine brucellosis is a self-limiting disease
T
Bovine brucellosis was described for the first time by Sir David Bruce in 1886
F
In ABR (Abortus bang ring/Brucella milk ring) test, we detect brucella antigens in the milk
T
S19 vaccine is a live vaccine, which can cause abortion in pregnant cows
T
Cattle are generally infected with Brucella per os
T
Bovine brucellosis is widespread within the EU
F
Infected cattle can be recognized by detecting Brucella in blood with ELISA
T
Antibodies against Brucella abortus are detected in the ABR test
T
Male calves may be vaccinated with vaccines containing live attenuated strains, without any side effects
F
Calves shows clinical sign after weaning when infected young with brucellosis
F
Bovine brucellosis is seen in most European countries
F
If young calves are infected with brucellosis, the bacteria remain in the lymph nodes until maturity
T
Histophilus somni and Actinobacillus seminis can cause similar lesions in the genitals of rams as Brucella ovis
T
Brucella ovis mainly causes abortion, clinical signs in males are rare
F-the other way
Agar gel diffusion test and ELISA are used for the detection of infection with Brucella ovis
T
Brucella ovis can cause ascending infection of the genital tract
T-in rams
Sometimes abortion can be seen in the case of brucellosis of sheep caused by B. ovis
T
Infectious epididymitis is caused by B. ovis
T
You can get B. ovis free only with stock exchange
F-test and remove
Ewes are lifelong carriers of Brucella ovis
F
AGID can be used to diagnose brucellosis in sheep
T
B. melitensis can disappear spontaneously from sheep and goat
T
Herd replacement is the only method of eradication of B. melitensis in a goat herd
F
Brucella melitensis is an obligate pathogenic bacterium in sheep and goat
T
Brucella melitensis is sporadic in Hungary
F
Sheep and goats can be infected per os with Brucella melitensis
T
Self-limiting nature of brucellosis caused by Brucella melitensis is strong
T
Antibodies against Brucella melitensis can be detected in small ruminants all over Europe
F
B. melitensis brucellosis is strongly self-limiting
T
Goats and sheep are primary hosts of B. melitensis
T
Brucella suis can infect dogs
T
Dogs and cats can be infected with brucella abortus without any clinical signs
T
Brucella abortus can infect dogs
T
Brucella canis can infect humans
T
Hemoculture is a good diagnostic tool in the diagnostic work of canine brucellosis
T
Abortion due to canine brucellosis occurs in final phase of pregnancy
T
Canine brucellosis differs from other brucella infections since it’s a long-term active infection
T
Canine brucellosis can cause iridocyclitis
T
Abortion usually occurs in the late phase of pregnancy in case of canine brucellosis
T
Epididymitis and orchitis are typical clinical signs of canine brucellosis
T
Attenuated vaccines are widely used for the prevention of canine brucellosis
F
Strong self-limitation can be seen in the case of canine brucellosis
F
In case of brucellosis, horses suffer from bursitis and they can rupture
T
In case of brucellosis hares can maintain their own infectious cycle, and do not need to be infected by cattle
T
Reindeers are important in maintaining and infecting swine herds with B. suis
