a) Canine distemper
b) Canine influenza
c) Canine parvovirus
d) Rabies
a) Canine Distemper
which of the following is FALSE regarding the transmission of CDV?
a) virus is shed in all bodily secretions, and particularly respiratory exudates
b) transmission occurs via inhalation of aerosols or droplets
c) the virus initially infects respiratory epithelium and alveolar macrophages, then spreads to mononuclear cells in the lymph nodes and tonsils
d) clinical signs appear within 24-72hrs of exposure
d) clinical signs appear within 24-72hrs of exposure
*signs are absent for first week while the virus is carried in WBC during a primary viremia to the bone marrow, lymph tissues, and macrophages of the lamina propria of the stomach and SI
one of the first signs of CDV infections that can often go unnoticed:
a) encephalitis
b) fever
c) dysorexia
d) ataxia
b) fever
t/f: there are PCR tests available for animals in the acute stage of CDV disease; this has replaced the need for immunofluorescence
true
if the supportive care you are giving for a virus is:
-keeping eyes/nose discharge free
-giving broad spectrum antibiotics
-discontinue food & water if patient is V/D
-giving fluids as needed
-giving bronchodilators and mucolytics
-managing CNS signs with anticonvulsant drugs and glucocorticoids
you are probably treating for:
a) Canine distemper
b) Canine influenza
c) Canine parvovirus
d) Rabies
a) Canine distemper
the long term problems associated with _________________ infection include the development of lifelong seizures needing medical management, chronic tear deficiency, “hard pads”, crusts on the nose, damage to the retina that stops short of blindness, and abnormal enamel deposition
a) Canine distemper
b) Canine influenza
c) Canine parvovirus
d) Rabies
a) Canine distemper
this virus used to be called “Hard Pad Disease” due to the characteristic changes in the footpads which result in a hard crust on the edges of the pads occurring in some patients in the long term
a) Canine distemper
b) Canine influenza
c) Canine parvovirus
d) Rabies
a) Canine distemper
Canine Distemper vaccination is a ____________ vaccine and is important because distemper is still present in most areas and is hard to treat successfully

b) Canine influenza
c) Canine parvovirus
d) Rabies
a) Canine distemper
this vaccine is a key example of the fact that an attenuated virus may not remain attenuated in all species // when it was used in ferrets it resulted in fatal infections
a) Canine distemper
b) Canine influenza
c) Canine parvovirus
d) Rabies
a) Canine distemper
t/f: Influenza Virus is relatively stable in the environment
false - unstable
glycoprotein H found on the surface of the influenza viruses stands for __________
hemagglutinin
glycoprotein N found on the surface of the influenza viruses stands for __________
neuraminidase
how many H and N subtypes are there in the influenza virus?
H - 16 subtypes
N - 9 subtypes
explain the symptoms seen in H3N8, the Canine Influenza outbreak in 2004
in greyhounds: can be an acute disease associated with hemorrhagic pneumonia and death
in other breeds: generally associated with a fever, nasal discharge, and a cough that persists for several days
what was the possible suspected origin of Canine Influenza in 2004?
raw horse meat being fed to racing greyhounds
how did H3N2, the Canine Influenza outbreak in 2015 begin?
strain was previously seen in Chinese and South Korean dogs and these dogs were imported into the U.S. to be adopted
