Answer 7

Signalment, problem list, differential diagnosis, diagnostic plan, management plan

Question 8

Infection

Answer 8

Invasions of a host by an agent

Question 9

Infectious disease

Answer 9

disordered structure or function of the host as a consequence of infection

Question 10

Outcome of infection is a result of what factors

Answer 10

Pathogen, host, environment

Question 11

Pathogen-host = Environment

Answer 11

Clinical effects of a pathogen is likely to vary in different environment even if the host is same

Viruses

Answer 14

RNA and DNA

Question 15

Prokaryotes

Answer 15

Cells without nuclei (i.e: bacteria)

Question 16

Eukaryotes

Answer 16

Cells with nucleus (i.e Fungi with cell walls, protozoa single-celled animal, metazoa multicellular animal)

Question 17

Agents and their animal associations

Answer 17

Symbiosis, mutualism, commensalism, parasitism, parasitology.

Question 18

Symbiosis

Answer 18

Organisms live closely together, at least one organism benefits, obligatory or facultative.

Question 19

Mutualism

Answer 19

both benefits

Question 20

commenslism

Answer 20

One is benefitted and one is unaffected

Question 21

Parasitism

Answer 21

One benefits and one is negatively effected

Question 22

Parasitology

Answer 22

Covers eukaryotic parasites only. May see term used in. place of infectious agents.

Question 23

Infectious agent transmission

Answer 23

Contact (Direct= animal-animal, Indirect= animal, fomite)
Vehicle (water, food, air- ingestion/inhalation)
Vector (Flies, fleas, ticks. Biological-replication occurs in vector, Mechanical- no replication in vector)
Vertical (Pregnancy, birth, milk)
Zoonotic (animal source of infectious agent to people)

Answer 27

infectious agents multiply rapidly

Question 28

Dead-end (incidental) host

Answer 28

No transmission

Question 29

Pathogen

Answer 29

Infectious agents that can cause disease
- Obligate: host is required niche
-Opportunistic (Facultative): host can be used but is not required
