Credit 1 Flashcards
What is the principle of AGID (agar gel immunodiffusion) test?
When antigen and specific antibodies bind they form a precipitation seen as visible line, this indicates a positive test.
Incubation for 24 hours.
Division of the media used for cell culture:
Liquid, solid
In blocking ELISA positive result is:
No colour
Give an example of facultative pathogens:
Bacteria: Salmonella, Staphylococcuc spp., Listeria spp., Pseudomonas aeruginosa
Animal notifiable diseases are reported to:
World organization for animal health
What are the stages for epizootic process?
Interepizootic
Preepizootic
Ascending
Culmination
Descending
Postepizootic
What is epizootiological triad?
Animal populations, etiological agents and environmental factors
What is an abortive infection?
Infection that disappear after prodromal period
What are the ways of etiological agents transmission?
Mode of transmission = the way in which etiological agents is transmitted from affected to susceptible individuals
Route of infection = route by which agent gains access to the body of individual
* Alimentary tract
* Respiratory tract
* Skin
* Urogenital tract
* Mammary gland
* Conjunctiva
* Umbilical infection
* Accidental entry
What test is virological?
Virus neutralization
What is the principle of haemagglutination inhibition test?
Antibodies to a particular virus will prevent attachment of virus to RBC by hemagglutinin
(parvovirus, parainfluenza virus, adenovirus)
Positive = inhibition of blood cell agglutination –'’button’’
Negative = typical hemagglutination, diffuse layer of the cells
Complement fixation test is used for the detection of:
antibodies in serum
(Ag + Ab + complement –> immunocomplex + complement –> OERY + amboceptor –> pos: no hemolysis OR neg: hemolysis)
In sandwich ELISA positive result is:
Change of colour to green/yellow
Carnivores are born:
Hypoamaglobulinemic
What is tropisms of pathogens?
Tropism = ability of a given pathogen to infect a specific location
Monotropic = for one organ or system
Polytropic = for more organs and systems
Pantropic = multiple sites in organism
What is the role of colostral immunity?
Provide passive immunity
Protection against septicaemia and organ infection.
Local protection of intestine.
GIT multiplication of bacteria.
Clinical signs indicating failure of passive transfer of immunity in 3-5 days old animals:
Profuse diarrhoea and dehydration.
Respiratory or systemic infections.
What sample is taken for rabies diagnosis?
Brain
Cytopathic effect is:
Destruction of the cells after virus inoculation
Which medium is used for cultivation of Salmonella?
MacConkey agar
Which methods is used for microscopic detection of fungi?
Native with KOH
What are the main reagents in ELISA test?
Antigen
Antibody
Enzymes
Chromogen
Coating buffer
washing buffer
protein stabilizers/blockers
sample
What are the advantages of real time PCR comparing with classical PCR?
Fast answer
Easy
Division of etiological agents according to their pathogenicity?
Obligate
Facultative
Apathogenic
Give an example of non-contagious infectious diseases:
Borreliosis
Lyme disease
Blue tongue
Describe risk-assesment in epizootology:
Pathogenicity
Mode of transportation
Hosts
If the pathogen is zoonotic
Mortality
What is the principle of ELISA test?
Antibody detect target antigen using specific antigen-antibody interactions.
What is the cytopathic effect in cell cultures?
Any changes of the cell after viral infection
In complement fixation test positive result is:
No hemolysis
What are the stages of infectious process?
Incubation = from time of exposure to clinical signs
Prodromal = unspecific signs of infection
Manifestation = specific clinical signs
Remission = recovery or death
What are objects of study in epizootology?
Study of diseases and how antibody and antigen work
Forms of infectious diseases according to clinical signs manifestation:
Acute < less than two days
Subacute 2-14 days
Peracute > over 14 days
Chronic is several months
Hyperimmune serum application is:
Artificial passive immunisation
What is basic characteristics of DNA polymerase in PCR?
Need a template
Add nucleotides to the 3’ end of DNA strand
Prevents denaturation of enzyme during heating step in the PCR technique
Half time of maternal antibodies is:
Period in which 50% of antibodies is declined
Give an example of biological immunomodulators:
Monoclonal antibodies
Interferons
Interleukins
Tumour necrosis factor
Colony stimulating factor
What are negri bodies?
Eosinophilic, sharply outlined, pathogenic inclusion bodies in cytoplasm of certain nerve cells
