MT4 - Actinobacillosis of horse (G) Flashcards
Viral agents frequently predispose cattle to actinobacillosis
F
actinobacillus lignieresii is a facultative pathogenic bacterium
T
Swine actinomycosis is caused by Actinomycosis bovis
T
Actinobacillosis in ruminants is a sporadic worldwide disease
T
Actinobacillosis of cattle appears in soft tissues around the mouth
T
oral mucosa
Actinobacillosis most commonly enters body via wound infection
T
PO + wounds
Antibiotics cannot be used successfully for treatment of actinobacillosis
F
surgery, local treatment, disinfection (Lugol), antibiotic
Equine actinobacillosis has clinical signs only in foals
F
Foals cannot stand because of encephalitis in the case of actinobacillosis
F
Exhausting work can predispose horses to actinobacillosis
T
pyosepticaemia of adult horses
Umbilical infection of new-born foals can result actinobacillosis.
T
Equine actinobacillosis is a septicaemic disease in new-born foals
T
SEPTICAEMIA OF NEWBORN FOALS (SLEEPY FOAL DISEASE)
Equine actinobacillosis is caused by Actinobacillus lignieresii
F
A. equuli
A. equuli subsp. equuli
A. equuli subsp. haemolyticus
Equine actinobacillosis is caused by Actinobacillus equuli
T
Pyosepticaemia of horses is caused by Actinobacillus equuli
T
The agent of pyosepticaemia of horses is a facultative pathogenic bacterium
T
Oedema can be frequently seen in the case of pyosepticaemia of horses
T
oeadema ( head)
horses are regularly vaccinated in order to prevent actinobacillosis of foals
F
deprivation or shortage of colostrum can predispose foals to actinobacillosis:
T
abscesses in the parenchymal organs can be seen in the case of actinobacillosis of newborn foals
T
Timber tongue is caused by actinobacillus in foals
F
Lack of umbilical disinfection can lead to actinobacillosis in foals
T
Clinical signs of the central nervous system are typical in the case of actinobacillosis of foals.
F
Wooden tongue is a typical clinical sign of equine actinobacillosis
F
Young foals are regularly vaccinated in order to prevent actinobacillosis
F
Actinobacillus equuli is the causative agent of equine actinobacillosis.
T
Shortage of colostrum can predispose foals to actinobacillosis.
T
Central nervous clinical signs are typical in the case of actinobacillosis of foals
F
Abscesses in the kidney are typical post mortem lesions of actinobacillosis of foals
T
abscess + haemorrhagic
Actinobacillosis can cause lameness due to encephalitis in foal.
F
arthritis, tenosynovitis
Actinobacillosis is caused by A. equuli in horses
T
Most important way of infection is via the umbilicus in case of Actinobacillosis in horses.
T
Animals will not move due to high fever and encephalitis in case of Actinobacillosis in horses
F
Tetracyclines can cure the disease at any time in case of Actinobacillosis in horses
F
it is used as prevention , but cant cure the disease at any time
Paralysis of foals (in actinobacillosis) is the result of umbilical infection
T
The so called pyosepticemia of adult horses (in actinobacillosis) occurs due to predisposing factors
T
predisposing factors + septicaemia + endotoxin
A. equuli is present in healthy horses as well
T
Antibiotics can be used in treatment of A. equuli
T
Oedema of the head is the most prominent clinical sign of A. equuli.
T
Draught horses are more predisposed to the disease in case of A. equuli
T
A. equuli is a common disease in some areas of the world
F
