33
Q

(T/F) Tularemia and the plague are considered bioterrorism.

A

True

34
Q

What organism is Tularemia?

A

Francisella tularensis

35
Q

What are the two cycles of tularemia hosts and what species they include?

A

Terrestrial cycle - rabbits/rodents
Aquatic cycle - muskrats/beavers

36
Q

What is one of the main signs on necropsy a rabbit has tularemia?

A

Pinpoint white lesions in liver and spleen
Necrotic lymph nodes
Pneumonia

37
Q

Yersenia pestis is the main organism in the disease

A

Plague

38
Q

In what cycle is the plague maintained in nature through?

A

Flea-rodent cycle

39
Q

Who are the reservoir rodent hosts of plague?

A

Voles, grasshopper mouth and rock squirrels

40
Q

Who are the hosts of the plague?

A

Epizoonotic rodent hosts (periodic outbreaks)
Prarie dogs
Ground squirrels

41
Q

Who are susceptible to the plague that are non rodent hosts?

A

Felids and black footed ferret

42
Q

What is the main way of transmission for plague?

A

Flea bite (bacteria multiplies in flea GI tract, blockage of GI tract makes the tick regurg and infects blood into host)

43
Q

The suggestive diagnosis of plague is a rapid decline of colonial rodents, how do you definitively test for it?

A

Culture ID and IHC
Preferred tissue - lymph nodes, blood, spleen/liver/lung

44
Q

(T/F) We still consider a widespread eradication of rodents effective for the plague.

A

False - we do not do this and we MUST KILL THE TICKS

45
Q

What type of category is the plague?

A

Bioterrorism category A

46
Q

Brucella abortus causes what?

A

Bovine brucellosis

47
Q

Where does bovine brucellosis happens and what is the clinical sign for both male and female?

A

Yellowstone national park
Causes abortion/orchitis in bovids

48
Q

Ascarid roundworms cause what disease in raccons?

A

Baylisascaris

49
Q

Where are the Baylisascaris worms located in the host?

A

GI tract

50
Q

(T/F) Baylisascaris is zoonotic and is important because it does not cause clinical signs nor lesions in natural hosts.

A

True

51
Q

How do raccoons get infected with Baylisacaris?

A

Consuming animals with encysted larvae

52
Q

What do we need to do to get rid of Baylisacaris?

53
Q

B - 1
C - 3
D - 2

54
Q

How do we prevent visceral larva migrans from spreading?

A

Appropriate hygiene

Accidentally ingest eggs shed in feces
Alveolar hydatid disease

What organ is destroyed by echinoccocus multilocularis?

A

Liver

59

What is the host of toxoplasmosis?

A

All felids

60

What are the two ways human can get toxo?

How is monkey pox transmitted?

A

Direct contact
(it is natural in tropical rainforest in Africa)

63
Q

Who is the host of monkey pox?

A

African squirrel

64
Q

(Young/old) individuals are more severely affected by monkey pox?

A

Younger

65
Q

How do humans get monkey pox for the most part?

A

Contact with Gambian giant rat/prarie dog

66
Q

What is the presentation of bats who have white nose syndrome?

A

White substance on their heads, ears, wings

67
Q

Why is white nose syndrome so destructive to bat populations?

A

Highly contagious and the fungus thrives in dark, low temp and high humidity environment

68
Q

Where is chytridiomycosis ubiquitous in nature?

A

Aquatic habitats and moist soil

69
Q

Why is chytriciomycosis important?

A

Only fungus that infects vertebrates
Emerging panzoonotic of amphibian population
High mortality

70
Q

What stages of the amphibian are affected by chytriciomycosis?

A

Adult and larvae

71
Q

Chytridiomycosis is a non hyphal fungal pathogen that invades tissue and degrades (cellulose/chitin/ keratin).

A

All three

72

A

Hatchlings

75
Q
