Q

Pandemic zoonoses stages

A

A

Human fever lethargy cough joint pain nasal discharge

Animal respiratory issues head oedema cyanosis of wattles or asymptomatic

21
Q

Avian flu control

A
Prevent wild bird access
Bio security
National surveillance
ND
Vacc
Movement restrictions
Culling
22
Q

BSE transmission

A

Ingestion
Maternal
Humans also transfusion

23
Q

BSE symptoms

A

Animals fear aggression easily startled depressed excitable exaggerated reaction to noise muscle fasciculatio

Human Depression anxiety insomnia social withdrawal immobile mute death (neurodegenerative)

24
Q

BSE control

A
Abattoir controls
Remove WBC from transfusion
Prohibit some blood donations
Risk material away
No cattle prior to '96 in food chain
Testing
