MT4 - Atrophic rhinitis of swine (R) Flashcards
Europe is free from atrophic rhinitis
F
Widespread
Dermonecrotoxin producing Pasteurella multocida can cause irreversible lesions in the nose of pigs
T
The dermonecrotoxin of Pasteurella multocida damages the osteoclast cells
F
- Toxin damages the osteoblast cells
- The osteoclast are responsible for the decomposition
Dermonecrotoxin producing Pasteurella multocida can cause irreversible lesions in the nose of pigs
T
Toxoid vaccines are used for the prevention of atrophic rhinitis
T
The block of the lachrymal channel is a clinical sign of atrophic rhinitis
T
The turbinate bones can absorbed in the case of atrophic rhinitis
T
Overcrowding can predispose pigs to atrophic rhinitis
T
The maxilla can be shortened in the case of atrophic rhinitis.
T
The most severe clinical signs of atrophic rhinitis can be seen in suckling piglet
F
over 3 months of age
Atrophic rhinitis can be prevented by vaccinating the pregnant sows:
T
The lesions of atrophic rhinitis are examined after sawing the nose behind the first premolar
teeth:
T
Clinical signs of a atrophic rhinitis appear if piglets are infected in the first few weeks of their life:
T
The mortality and the economic impact of atrophic rhinitis are high:
F
Generally not lethal
The endotoxin of the agent is responsible for the clinical signs and lesions of atrophic rhinitis
F
Exotoxins
Atrophic rhinitis in fattening pigs is caused by Bordetella bronchiseptica
F
fattening pigs ( >3 months) = P.multocida D or A
In 4-6 months old pigs B. bronchiseptica strains cause severe pneumonia
F
Progressive form is seen in 3 month olds and older
Dermonectotoxin is an important virulence factor of B. bronchiseptica
T
Atrophic rhinitis cannot be prevented with vaccination
F
Block of the lacrimal channel is a typical sign of atrophic rhinitis
T
The dermonecrotoxin producing Pasteurella multocida strains are responsible for the severe
lesions of atrophic rhinitis
T
The dermonecrotoxin of P. multocida inhibits the activity of the osteoclast cells
F
Inhibits the osteblasts
Atrophic rhinitis can be prevented by vaccinating the day-old piglets
