Bovine salmonellosis is always limited to the gut:
F
salmonella typhimurium can cause salmonellosis of cattle:
T
- S. Dublin, S. Typhimurium, S. Newport, S. Montevideo
- S. Enteritidis, S. Agona, S. Derby,
- S. Abony
transportation of animals can predispose cattle to salmonellosis:
T
- transportation, sudden change in diet
- getting cold
- hygienic problems
- mixing
salmonellosis of cattle occurs mainly in day-old calves
F
most frequent: 2-6 weeks old calves, in adult sporadic
cattle shed salmonella in the faeces
T
Yellow watery diarrhoea is a typical sign of salmonellosis of calves
T
Salmonella is seen in the large intestine of cattle
F
small intestine
Lack of appropriate provision of colostrum can predispose calves to salmonellosis
F-A but unsure of this one
- transportation, sudden change in diet
- getting cold
- hygienic problems
- mixing
Salmonella Typhi is a frequent agent of salmonellosis of calves.
F
Salmonella Typhi primarily infects humans: causative agent typhoid fever
Transport of calves can predispose to salmonellosis.
T
- transportation, sudden change in diet
- getting cold
- hygienic problems
- mixing
There are no vaccines against salmonellosis of calves
F
vaccine: inactive or live
Salmonellosis of calves is seen mainly in the first week of life.
F
2-6 weeks old
In the case of salmonellosis of calves, focal necrosis in the parenchymal organs can be seen
T
Humans cannot be infected with salmonellae from calves
F
Salmonellosis of calves is typically seen in 2-6-week-old animals
T
Calves are infected with Salmonellae generally per os
T
per os: feaces, feed, water, pasture
Salmonellae do not enter the blood stream in calves.
F
bacteria can breach the intestinal barrier and enter the bloodstream, resulting in septicemia or bacteremia.
Abortion can be a clinical sign of bovine salmonellosis.
T
chronic: lameness, mastitis, abortion
Salmonellosis does not occur in cattle in Europe anymore because of successful eradication.
F
Salmonellosis in calves typically occurs in 1-2-week-old calves
F
2-6 weeks old
Salmonellosis in calves is frequently caused by S. typhimurium
T
Salmonella Paratyphi can cause salmonellosis of calves

- S. Dublin, S. Typhimurium, S. Newport, S. Montevideo
- S. Enteritidis, S. Agona, S. Derby,
- S. Abony
Fever is a common clinical sign of salmonellosis of calves
T
- fever, anorexia, depression
- diarrhoea
- cough, dyspnea
Salmonellosis does not occur in sheep.
F
Salmonella typhimurium is obligate pathogenic bacterium
F
Salmonella typhimurium can cause salmonellosis of calves
T
Transportation of young calves is a predisposing factor of salmonellosis
T
- transportation, sudden change in diet
- getting cold
- hygienic problems
- mixing
In the case of chronic salmonellosis arthritis is a common clinical sign.
T
it is a common pathological lesions
Salmonella bovis is the most frequent causative agent of bovine salmonellosis
F
S. Typhimurium
Salmonellosis of calves causes diarrhoea
T
Salmonellosis of calves only effects the intestines
F
Lymph nodes, enteritis, parencyhmal organs
Cattle can stay lifelong carriers of salmonellosis of calves.
T
Salmonellosis in cattle is mainly cause by Salmonella bovis strains
F
S. Typhimurium
Salmonella can cause disease in calves bought and fattened at young age
T
Salmonellosis in cattle is spread mainly in aerogenic way
F
transmitted through the fecal-oral route
Chronic salmonellosis of cattle/calves causes arthritis
T
Diarrhoea without fever is a typical clinical sign of bovine salmonellosis
F
fever and diarrohea
Salmonellosis in cattle is an endemic disease in young animals.
T
We can use vaccination in cattle to prevent salmonella
T
vaccination: inactive and live
Salmonellosis in cattle, lesions are mostly seen in the stomach
F
parenchymal organs too
Salmonella of calves causes bloody diarrhoea
T
diarrhea: wtaery, gad, mucous, fibrin, blood
S. abortusovis can cause sporadic abortions in cattle
F
Calf salmonellosis causes inflammation of the small intestine
T
Salmonella in calves can be treated successfully with penicillin
F
antibiotics: trimethoprim-sulfonamide, quinolones
Salmonella can cause generalized disease/fever in caves
T
Salmonellosis in calves cause ileitis
T
ileitis: inflammation of the ileum, a part of the small intestine.
We can use isolation or ELISA for detection of Salmonellosis in cattle
T
We can use quinolones to treat salmonellosis in cattle
T
antibiotics: trimethoprim-sulfonamide, quinolones
Age is the most important predisposing factor in the case of cattle salmonellosis.
F
- transportation, sudden change in diet
- getting cold
