Equidae > ruminants, swine, lama, alpaca > human, others
Vesicular stomatitis: animals can recover.
T
Vesicular stomatitis occurs in America.
T
Americas; South Canada, USA, Middle America, South Am. (tropical regions)
The host range of vesicular stomatitis and foot and mouth disease is the same.
F
Sand flies and midges can transmit vesicular stomatitis virus.
T
- arthropod
In the case of vesicular stomatitis vesicles are formed only at the place of entry of the virus.
F
Salivation is a clinical sign of vesicular stomatitis.
T
- anorexia, salivation
- limping
- drop of milk production
Vesicular stomatitis cannot be prevented with vaccines.
F
The vesicular stomatitis virus is uniform, there are no serotypes, variants etc.
F
long lasting antibodies (serotype-specific)
The resistance of the vesicular stomatitis virus is low.
T
Vesicular stomatitis virus can be transmitted by direct contact or arthropods.
T
Vesicular stomatitis virus can cause lesions on the teats.
T
- decreased milk production

T
Vesicular stomatitis is endemic in America.
T
Vesicular stomatitis virus infects only swine.
F
Cattle are not susceptible to vesicular stomatitis virus.
F
Vesicular stomatitis virus can infect humans.
T
Lesions of vesicular stomatitis heal within a few weeks.
T
There are no vaccines for the prevention of vesicular stomatitis.
F
- inactivated vaccine
live attenuated vaccine ( South America)
Insects are involved in the transmission of vesicular stomatitis virus.
T
- arthropods
Vesicular stomatitis virus can spread by direct contact.
T
Vesicular stomatitis virus can cause severe disease in humans.
F
Ephemeral fever virus is transmitted by arthropods.

low mortality
Drop of milk production is a common sign of ephemeral fever
T
Ephemeral fever occurs in the tropical countries.
T
Inhalation of the tracheal discharge is the main way of infection with ephemeral fever virus.
F
The clinical signs of ephemeral fever are more severe in horses than cattle.
F
Animals with ephemeral fever have fever for about 2-3 days
T
- fever (2-3 days)
- anorexia, weakness
- reluctant to move
- lameness
In the case of silent rabies rabid dogs cannot bark.
