Q

Influenzaviruses are sensitive to drying out
The high virulence of some influenza A viruses is the result of mutations in the HA gene

17
Q

For the in vitro propagation of influenza viruses embryonated eggs is used

18
Q

The high virulence of some influenza A viruses is the result of mutations in the HA gene

19
Q

Dogs are susceptible to horse origin influenza strains

20
Q

The HPAI strains can cause CNS Signs

21
Q

HPAI causes blood vessel damages and generalised infections

22
Q

The HPAI strains are usually developed from the H5 and H7 influenza viruses

23
Q

The LPAI causes immunosuppression

24
Q

HPAI strains are mutations of LPAI strains
