Panaritium of ruminants-footrot Flashcards
Foot rot is more severe in cattle than in sheep
F
The hoof can be detached in the case of foot rot
T
Virulent foot rot can be treated with antibiotics
T
Foot rot occurs only in sheep
F
The agent of foot rot can produce proteases; they are virulence factors
T
the causative agent of foot rot is dichelobacter nodosus
T
the main virulence factors of dichelobacter nodosus are toxins
F
the warm and wet environment can predispose to foot rot
T
Fusobacterium necrophorum subsp. Necrophorum can help the agent of foot rot in causing
disease
T
Keratinsase production is a virulence factor of the agent of Foot Rot
T
Foot Rot cannot be prevented by vaccination
F
Production of keratinase is a virulence factor of Dichelobacter nodosus
T
Morbidity of foot rot is very low, 1-5%.
F
Foot bath in zinc sulphate can be used for the treatment of foot rot
T
Dichelobacter nodosus causes foot rot in sheep
T
Dichelobacter nodosus is helped by other bacteria in the pathogenesis of foot rot
T
Foot rot cannot be prevented with vaccination
F
Dichelobacter nodosus can produce keratinase
T
Foot rot has more severe clinical signs in goats than sheep
F
Exotoxins of the causative agent are responsible for the lesions of foot rot
F
Extracellular enzymes of the causative agent are responsible for the lesions of foot rot
T
Footbath with formalin can be used for prevention or for treatment of milder cases of foot
rot
T
Toxins are the main virulence factors of Dichelobacter nodosus
F
Warm and wet climate predispose animals to foot rot
T
The hoof wall can be detached in the case of foot rot
T
Animals with softened hoof wall are more susceptible for panaritium (foot rot).
T
Contaminated, dirty bedding is a predisposing factor for foot rot.
T
In the development of foot rot, fimbriae of the pathogen have an important role
T
Treatment of foot rot is using foot bath containing formalin and sterogeno
T
For treatment of panaritium, formalin foot baths are recommended.
T
Foot rot is a very rare disease in Europe
F
Fimbria and extracellular enzymes are the virulence factors of the agent of foot rot
T
Dichelobacter causes Necrobacillosis
F
The causative agent of foot root can produce exotoxins.
F
The causative agent of foot root can produce enzymes
T
Foot rot can be prevented by foot bath
T
Animals with soft horn are more predisposed to panaritium
T
Strongly contaminated bedding is a predisposing factor to panaritium.
T
The fimbriae of the pathogens play an important role in the development of panaritium
T
To treat severe foot rot we use parenteral antibiotics
