Herpesviruses Flashcards
1) Herpesviruses are good antigens
false
2) Alphaherpesviruses are host specific slowly multiplying (>24hrs) viruses
false
3) Alphaherpesviruses may cause latent infection in neurons or ganglia
true
4) Some herpesviruses have a broad host spectrum (euryxen)
true
5) Gammaherpesviruses may cause latent infection in neurons of ganglia
true, should be false, only in lymphoid cells - alpha is in neurons
6) Herpes viruses are resistant to detergents
false
7) Herpesviruses are sensitive to detergents
true
8) Herpesviruses are generally weak antigens
true
9) Herpesviruses can cause latent persistent infections
true
10) Herpesviruses are typically stenoxen viruses, but there are significant exceptions
true
11) Herpesviruses are strong antigens, therefore single vaccinations provide lifelong protection
false
12) Herpesviruses are enveloped viruses, therefore they are sensitive to detergents
true
13) There are no serological cross-reactions between different herpesvirus species
false
14) Because the genome of herpesviruses is very stable, no attenuated mutant vaccine strains are available
false
15) Infectious bovine vulvovaginitis virus strains cause abortions and foetal deformities
false
16) Herpesvirus infections frequently result in latent virus carry
true
17) Herpesviruses usually cause latent infections and life-long virus carries
true
1) Infectious bovine rhinotracheitis virus can cause abortion.
true
2) The use of marker vaccines can help the eradication of infectious bovine rhinotracheitis virus
true
3) The most frequently used eradication strategy for IBRV is selection with the help of marker vaccines
true
4) Marker vaccines can be used in IBRV eradication programs in cattle farms
true
5) Antibodies against infectious bovine rhinotracheitis virus (IBRV) might be detected in the milk
true
6) Conjunctivitis and blepharitis are signs of infectious bovine rhinotracheitis
true
7) The infectious bovine rhinotracheitis virus (IBRV) causes haemorrhagic gastroenteritis
false
