Q

Poultry

Susceptibility to an infectious disease depends on

A
  1. resistance of the bird
  2. virulence of dz organism
  3. dosage of organism to which bird is exposed (biosecurity)

*DOES NOT depend on environmental humidity

28
Q

comp animal

The critical period for susceptibility for young animals is

A

time between waning maternal antibodies and active immunity

29
Q

Comp animal

Feline upper respiratory dz

A
  • cage fronts should be at least 4 feet apart to prevent transmission
  • vaccination begins at 6-8 weeks and repeated every 2-4 weeks until 12-14 weeks of age
  • unwashed hands are primary fomite for transmission

* Recovery from infection DOES NOT result in lifetime immunity

30
Q

Comp animal

Kennel cough

A
  1. using intranasal parainfluencza/bordetella vaccine stimulates local IgA and avoids problems with maternal antibody interference
  2. Kennel ventilation of 12-15 air exchange per hour helps reduce tx of dz
  3. kennel cough can be caused by several organisms that can include CAV-2 and canine distemper

*When vaccinating dogs less than 5 lbs you SHOULD NOT use only 1/2 the total dose of vaccine

31
Q

Comp animal

High-titer (attenuated vaccines)

A
  • this vaccine overrides maternal antibodies sooner than the conventional parvo virus vaccines
  • most dogs are protected by 12-16 weeks of age
  • vaccine has 100-fold more parvo virus than conventional vaccines

*false answer: Vaccine should only be given to dogs at least 16 weeks old

32
Q

Comp animal

Kennel Cough

A
  • using an intranasal parainfluenza/bordetella vaccine stimulates local IgA and avoids problems with maternal antibody interference

*Parental parainfluenza virus vaccine DOES NOT protect against virus shedding as well as clinical dz

33
Q

Comp animal

vax most likely responsible for an immediate hypersensitivity rxn with anaphylaxis and/or an urticarial reaction

A

Leptospirosis bacterin vaccine

34
Q

Comp animal

Feline leukemia virus vaccine

A
  • Only high risk outdoor cats should be vaccinated
  • bites are the primary method of transmission of FeLV virus (oronasal)
  • FeLV vaccinated cats will test positive on an Elisa test but not an IFA test

*FeLV neg cats CANNOT be vaccinated at < 9 weeks boostered in 3-4 weeks

35
Q

Poultry

Flies and dz control

A
  • flies are NOT responsible for transmitting dz between poultry farms as far as 8 miles apart
36
Q

A
  • chicken
  • beef
  • pork
  • fish

  • common intestinal parasite
  • controlled by drugs and vaccines
  • exposure of young chickens to small amounts of sprayed oocyts
38
Q

Poultry

Can’t read question but correct answers are all of the above

A
  • acute, highly contagious virus with respiratory signs, renal disease and decreased egg production
    • nephrotoxic strain associated with high mortality
  • Paired acute and convalescent serum can be useful in showing immune response
  • PCR to ID
  • MLV vaccine must contain serotype of virus in the area
39
Q

Poultry

Fowl pox

A
  • Cutaneous form is prodominant in most outbreaks
  • Diptheric form affects upper respiratory or digestive tract
  • Intracytoplasmic inclusions
  • prevented by vaccines
    • mosquitos and direct contact can spread the virus
