Equine Viral Arteritis Flashcards
Arterivirus the virulence is highly variable
T
The equine viral arteritis is caused by an arterivirus
T
Serological tests can NOT be used for laboratory detection of equine viral arteritis
F
Red blood cells can be used for laboratory detection of equine viral arteritis virus
F
Nasal fluid can be used for laboratory detection of equine viral arteritis virus
T
A semen sample can be used for laboratory detection of equine viral arteritis virus
T
Equine arteritis virus is very resistant to physical damages
F
Equine viral arteritis is usually asymptomatic
T
In cases of equine viral arteritis the rate of seroconverted animals increases with age
T
The main target cells of equine viral arteritis are macrophages
T
Equine Viral arteritis (EVA) virus can affect donkeys
T
The persistence of EVA virus within one herd is usually caused by the stallions
T
EVA is transmitted by sexual and aerogenic pathways
T
EVA can cause persistent virus carrying
T
Equine Viral Arteritis virus can infect by inhalation
T
Vaccine against Equine Viral Arteritis is never used in Europe
F
The Equine Viral Arteritis is caused by retrovirus
F
The equine viral arteritis virus cannot damage the wall of blood vessels
F
The equine viral arteritis virus rarely causes asymptomatic infection
F
The equine viral arteritis virus always causes clinical symptoms
F
EVA is spread by insect vectors
F
Long term carrier of EVA
T
Equine viral arteritis causes reproductive problems/impotence in stallions
T
Acute equine viral arteritis is similar to Equine infectious anaemia.
T
Equine viral arteritis in mare is reactivated in pregnancy
F
Equine viral arteritis aborted embryos have degenerated liver
F
Mares are frequently life-long carriers of the Equine arteritis virus
F
Subcutaneous oedema is a frequent sign of equine viral arteritis
T
Pregnant mares usually abort in the acute phase of equine viral arteritis
T
Equine viral arteritis is diagnosed by agarose-gel immunodiffusion (Coggins test
F
The Equine arteritis virus may cause abortion in pregnant mares
T
Vaccination of colts before puberty can prevent the development of EAV-carrier status
T
Stallions may be long-term carriers of the Equine arteritis virus
T
Conjunctivitis and subcutaneous oedema are possible signs of equine viral arteritis
T
Equine viral arteritis virus can infect through nasal route
T
Equine viral arteritis virus can infect per os
T
Equine viral arteritis virus can infect through venereal way
T
Equine viral arteritis virus can infect only by arthropods.
F
Equine arteritis virus is a uniform virus without serotypes subtypes etc
T
Aerogenic infection can happen in the case of equine arteritis virus
T
Equine arteritis virus is shed in the semen
T
Equine arteritis virus can cause abortion
T
Lameness due to inflammatory joints is the most typical sign of Equine infectious arteritis
F
Equine infectious arteritis is a notifiable disease; therefore vaccinations are forbidden
F
After equine viral arteritis virus infection mortality rate is low
T
Equine infectious arteritis is a notifiable disease
T
The main target of Equine viral arteritis virus is macrophages
T
Equine infectious arteritis is stenoxen viruses
T
Equine viral arteritis can be controlled in part by removing long-term carriers
T
