FALSE!!
There is no evidence of transmission to humans
Parvovirus's replicate in cells that pass through \_\_\_\_\_ phase and \_\_\_\_\_ replicated in stationary cells. A. Mitotic M; can B. Mitotic M; cannot C. Mitotic S; can D. Mitotic S; cannot
D. Mitotic S; cannot
–Parvovirus’s replicate in cells that pass throughMitotic S phase and can NOT replicated in stationary cell, as they rely on enzymes of actively dividing cells (mitosis)
What does Feline parvovirus cause? A. Feline Panleukipenia (FPV) B. Feline distemper C. Feline infectious enteritis D. All of the above
D. All of the above
–Feline distemper and Feline infectious enteritis are synonyms used for Feline Panleukipenia (FPV)
Which of the following is not true in regards to Feline Panleukopenia Epidemiology?
A. Virtually all cats are exposed and infected within the first year of life
B. Unvaccinated kittens that acquire material antibodies are protected for top to 3 months of age
C. The virus can shed in the cats urine and feces for up to 6 weeks after recovery
D. The majority of infections, 75%, are subclinical
E. FPV is maintained in population by prolonged visual shedding
E. FPV is maintained in population by prolonged visual shedding
—FPV is maintained in the population by environmental persistence rather than by prolonged viral shedding. The virus is ubiquitous because of its contagious nature and capacity for persistence in the environment
What genus of Parvioviridae is unable to replicate except in the presence of a helper virus? A. Parvovirus B. Dependovirus C. Bocavirus D. Erythrovirus
B. Dependovirus
–It is “dependent” to replicate!
Which genus of Parvioviridae contains a third ORF (open reading Frame) between non- structural and structural coding regions? A. Parvovirus B. Dependovirus C. Bocavirus D. Erythrovirus
C. Bocavirus
T/F: Feline Panleukopenia is often a fatal disease of cats and is highly contagious, and severe in kittens.
True!
Which of the following is not a transmission method of Feline Panleukopenia?
A. Oro-nasally by exposure to infected animals, their feces, secretions, or contaminated fomites
B. In-utero
C. Mechanical by flies
D. Vector: Ticks
D. Vector: Ticks
Which of the following is the hallmark of disease due to Feline parvovirus?
A. Enteritis
B. CNS infection
C. In- Utero Infection
D. Panleukopenia
E. Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation (DIC)
D. Panleukopenia
–All of the others are associated with the feline parvovirus as well
T/F: Feline Panleukopenia involves destruction of ALL white blood cell elements including: lymphocytes, neutrophils, monocytes and platelets. Thrombocytopenia, due to bone marrow damage, may also accompany leukopenia.
True!
T/F: Feline Parvovirus destroys cell deep in crypts of intestinal mucosa, therefore there will be no replacement of the lost absorptive cells at tips of the villi from the crypts. This will result in shortening of intestinal villi, marked villus blunting and fusion, malabsorption and diarrhea.
True!
Which of the following is/are sign(s) of early in- utero infection in pregnant queens infected with feline parvovirus?
A. Early fetal death and resorption with infertility
B. Birth of live kittens with varying degree of damage
C. Abortions
D. Birth of mummified fetuses
E. Variable effects on kittens form the same litter
F. A, C and D
G. B and E
F. A, C and D
– Early fetal death and resorption with infertility; Abortions; and Birth of mummified fetuses
Which of the following is/are sign(s) of infection closer to the end of gestation of pregnant queens with feline parvovirus?
A. Early fetal death and resorption with infertility
B. Birth of live kittens with varying degree of damage
C. Abortions
D. Birth of mummified fetuses
E. Variable effects on kittens form the same litter
F. A, C and D
G. B and E
G. B and E
–Birth of live kittens with varying degree of damage to the late- developing neural tissues; Variable effects on kittens form the same litter
Which of the following is incorrect regarding Feline parvovirus’s effects on the CNS?
A. Optic nerve and reta are susceptible to damage during prenatal or early neonatal development
B. Cerebellar damage is most commonly reported neurological lesion
C. Cerebellar hypoplasia is usually observed in fetuses infected during the last 2 weeks of pregnancy and the first two weeks of life
D. All of the above are correct
D. All of the above are correct
T/F: A kitten with cerebellar hypoplasia may present with marked ataxia.
True!
Which of the following is not true in regards to feline parvovirus that causes Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation?
A. Kittens with FPV are susceptible to secondary bacterial infections
B. Gram- Negative Endotoxemia, only with bacteremia, is a common sequelae of systemic FPV infection
C. Endotoxin (LPS) induces expression of tissue factor III on endothelial cells
D. Tissue factor is a potent activator of coagulation, resulting in DIC, followed by hemorrhages
B. Gram- Negative Endotoxemia, only with bacteremia, is a common sequelae of systemic FPV infection
–Gram- Negative Endotoxemia, WITH OR WITHOUT BACTEREMIA, is a common sequelae of systemic FPV infection
