25
Q

Herd Immunity:

A

The resistance to the spread of contagious disease through the population if a high proportion of the population is immune

26
Q

How is herd immunity accomplished (3)

A

Natural Exposure
Controlled Exposure
Vaccination

27
Q

Transmission Rate:

A

Contact rate x Infectivity

28
Q

Contact Rate:

A

quantifies interaction between hosts or between hosts and environment

29
Q

Infectivity:

A

the probability of infection given contact

30
Q

What is contact rate determined by:

A

behavior, movement patterns, and properties of the environment

31
Q

What is infectivity influenced by?

A

Virulence of pathogen
Immune status of host

32
Q

What does transmission rate determine?

A

how many cases you will see over what time period

33
Q

Instances to use controlled exposure:

A

When Vaccines are non-existent or poorly effective
When clinical disease is age dependent & severe/acute/fatal disease can be avoided with early exposure

34
Q

Specific examples of Controlled exposure (2):

A

Anaplasma marginale inoculation of young cattle (<6mo)
Canine Herpesvirus- horizontal exposure of young bitches before becoming pregnant

35
Q

Pre-exposure prophylaxis:

A

Medicating an individual before exposure to a pathogen may protect the individual and the population

36
Q

Physiologic response to short-term stress:

A

Induces catecholamine & glucocorticoid response

37
Q

Physiologic response to long-term stress (or repetitive short term)

A

Continued corticosteroid response, disrupts homeostasis
Disrupts energy balance
decreases resistance to pathogens
causes recrudescence of latent pathogens
Causes hyperactive HPA response to future stressors

38
Q

Aspects of the environment with effect on disease:

A

Stressors
Physical Injury
Cleanliness
Comfort

39
Q

Goals of a preventative medicine plan

A

Prevent diseases
Detect and manage risks
Ensure optimal health outcomes

40
Q

Key elements of prevention and control plans:

A

Management
Biosecurity
Monitoring/Surveillance

41
Q

Management practices for prevention & control plans

A

Genetic selection
Preventatives
Vaccination
Nutrition
Repro Cycles
Environmental Management

42
Q

Biosecurity:

A

A set of management and physical measures designed to reduce the risk of introduction, establishment and spread of animal diseases, infections or infestations to, from and within a population

43
Q

Bioexclusion:

A

Prevention of disease introduction

44
Q

Biocontainment:

A

Preventing the spread of disease within a farm or group of animals

45
Q

Key Concepts of Bioexclusion:

A

Closed population
Quarantine
Pre-entry tests
Vector control
Managing movement patterns in facilities
Cleaning & Disinfection Procedures
PPE

46
Q

Quarantine:

A

Separation of animals NOT KNOWN TO BE SICK for a period of time to allow for monitoring/testing for disease

47
Q

3 levels of biosecurity:

A

Conceptual
Structural
Procedural

48
Q

Biosecurity Hierarchy of Controls:

A

Elimination
Engineering Controls
Administrative Controls
PPE

49
Q

Monitoring:

A

Systematic measurement, collation, analysis, and interpretation of animal health and welfare data of defined populations
Used to monitor health/disease patterns over time, inform management decisions, evaluate effects of intervention and changes

50
Q

Surveillance:

A

Monitoring but used to identify specific diseases of concern that will initiate pre-specified control activities
Used for novel diseases, or diseases ided for control or eradication

51
Q

Goals of primary infectious disease control strategies:

A

Prevent new cases
Interrupt transmission of pathogens to susceptible hosts or increase host resistance to infection-BEFORE infection occurs

52
Q

Goals of secondary infectious disease control strategies:

A

Detect new cases early & intervene

53
Q

Goals of teriary infectious disease control strategies:

A

Medical tx to prevent the worst outcomes of a disease- dz mitigation

Transitioning an animal to death as painlessly and stress free as possible (sometimes a tertiary strategy)

59
Q

Mass Depopulation:

Composting
Landfill
