true
2) Germinative infection is more frequent in birds than in mammals
true
3) Germinative infection is very frequent in mammals
false
4) Germinative infection is seen in mammals
true
5) Mammals can infect their offspring through milk
true
6) New-born animals cannot be infected from the milk thanks to the colostral antibodies.
false
7) Intrauterine infection happens if the foetus is infected during pregnancy from the dam
true
8) Vertical infection does not occur in mammals
false
9) Horizontally infections happen only in birds
false
10) Germinative infection is frequent in mammals, it will result in malformation of the foetuses.
false
11) Galactogen infection cannot happen when the animals receive colostrum, since the antibodies in the colostrum prevent it

14) Germinative infection can happen in birds
true
15) Galactogen infection is a form of horizontal infections
false
16) If the dam infects newborn animals, we speak about horizontal infection.

18) In the case of galactogen infection the agent is transmitted by milk
true
19) In the case of horizontal infection the agent is spreading between animals of about the same age
true
20) Horizontal infection does not occur in mammals
false
21) Vertical infection does not occur in mammals.

false
23) Galactogen infection does not occur in mammals
false
24) In germinative infection, the placenta is infected by the mother during pregnancy
false
25) Germinative infection is a rare form of horizontal infection
