Classical Swine Fever Flashcards
Haemorrhagic enteritis is a characteristic pathological lesion of Classical swine fever
T
Classical Swine Fever is frequently complicated with bacterial infections.
T
Classical swine fever virus can be transmitted by raw pork products
T
Classical swine fever virus can retain its infectivity for 6 months in frozen meat
T
The CSFV may survive in frozen meat for months
T
During necropsy enlarged bloody lymph nodes can be seen in Classical swine fever cases
T
Because of endothelial damage Classical swine fever results in haemorrhages
T
In acute Classical swine fever, at the beginning obstipation, later diarrhoea can be observed
T
Classical swine fever targets the bone marrow stem cells
T
Erysipelas and Porcine circovirus 2 infections may cause clinical signs and pathology lesions
similar to CSF
T
Weakness of the hind legs and ataxia are clinical signs of Classical Swine Fever
T
Ischaemic infarcts at the edges of the spleen are postmortem lesions of subacute Classical
Swine Fever
T
The boutons in the intestines are characteristic lesions in subacute Classical Swine Fever
T
Kidney haemorrhage is a characteristic lesion of Classical Swine Fever
T
Hemorrhages are the most typical lesions of acute CSF
T
During necropsy of acute Classical swine fever cases, haemorrhages can be seen in the
gastric mucosa
T
Among Classical Swine Fever clinical signs CNS and eye problems can be observed
T
The CSFV causes central nervous signs only in suckling piglets
F
Classical swine fever infection during the first half of pregnancy results in the birth of
immunotolerant piglets
T
CSF infection during the first of half of pregnancy can lead to abortion
T
Classical swine fever infection in the second half of the pregnancy leads to foetal
development problems
F
NB!!!!!
Shedding of Classical swine fever virus starts 1 week after the infection
F
The shedding of CSFV begins 1-2 days after the appearance of clinical signs
F
The domestic swine population of most European countries are free from CSF
