Q

What is a latent infection?

A

Virus particles are always present in the animals and cannot find full virions in the body, but can find the viral genome hidden in the nucleus.

19
Q
  1. What is the unique feature of Marek’s disease virus?
A

Polyclonal T Lymphocytes Tumors

20
Q

s herpesviridae enveloped or non-enveloped?

A

Enveloped

21
Q

a. Animals with latent infection are sick and showing clinical signs
b. Not sick and do not have clinical symptoms
c. Sick, showing clinical symptoms, and are shedding virus
d. Not sick, not showing clinical symptoms, and are not shedding the virus

A

D.

22
Q

How do the herpesviruses maintain a latent infection?

a. Virions hide in an immune privileged tissue
b. Leave their genome in an immune privileged tissue
c. Leave their genome in the cytoplasm of an immune privileged cell
d. Leave their genome in the nucleus of an immune privileged cell

f. Leave their genome as an episome in the nucleus

A

D. and F.

23
Q

What is the difference in eye disease caused by FIP vs. FHV?

A

a. FHV has lots of inflammation and leads to the formation of corneal ulcers
b. FIP has immune complex formation that activates complement (opacity due to enzyme leakage)

24
Q

What is common between feline herpesvirus and equine herpesvirus?

A

Everything except the host

25

What is the common disease associated with alphaherpesvirus infection in the pregnant animals?

A

Abortion

26
Q

What tissues are affected by PrV (porcine herpesvirus) infection?

A

It is the gammaherpesvirinae subfamily that replicates and latent in lymphoid cells. It is lymphoproliferative and can transform cells.
