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
