CIRCOVIRUS Flashcards
The reproduction of the circovirus continuous in the dividing cells.
T
The circovirus is too small so it’s a bad antigen
F
The circovirus is a good antigen
T
Circovirus infections are immune suppressive
T
Circovirus can easily be cultured in different homologous cell lines.
F
Resistance of circovirus is very low, in the environment they are inactivated within a day.
F
Circoviruses can be cultured easily in many cell lines.
F
The resistance of Circoviruses is high, they remain infectious in the environment for several
months.
T
Causes generalized lymphoid depletion. (Cicrocv)
T
Only causes the depletion of B-lymphocytes (cicrcoV)
F(lymphoid depletion in PMWS)
Canine circoviruses are present worldwide.
F
Circovirus are very resistant viruses
T
The circovirus has circular RNA in its genome.
F(circular ssDNA)
Swine circovirus causes lesions in multiple organs and strong immunosuppression.
T
Porcine circovirus can be transmitted by mice and rats.
T
Porcine circovirus vaccines are available both for sows and for piglets.
T
Detection of PCV2’s DNA is enough for the correct diagnosis.
F
Four species of swine circovirus were described.
T
The porcine circovirus 2 is proven to be immunosuppressive.
T
PCV2 detection in foetal myocardium is pathognomic value.
T
Porcine circovirus replicates in the myocardium of the foetus
T
In pigs the porcine circovirus 2 can cause BFD.
F( PNWS, PDNS, reproductive disorders, PRSD)
The porcine circovirus can replicate in the foetus.
T
The clinical signs, pathological and histopathological examination suggest PCV2 induced disease
