Midterm 1 Flashcards
Direct infection happens when infected animals pass the infection with H2O.
F.
Germinative infection is common in mammals, it will result in malformation of fetuses.
F.
In case of 2º infection the agent complicates a 1º infection.
T.
Vertical infection does ø occur in mammals.
F.
Horizontal infection does ø occur in mammals.
F.
Germinative infection does ø occur in mammals.
T.
Galactogen infection does ø occur in mammals.
F.
Sp. specific resistance can be overcome by increasing the number of agents.
T.
Susceptibility of hosts is influenced by age.
T.
In case of 2º infection, a new pathogen infects an already cured animal.
F.
In case of 2º infection, 2 pathogens infect the host simultaneously.
F.
In case of 2º infection, 1 of the agents is always a virus.
F.
Germinative infection only occur in poultry.
F.
In germinative infection, the placenta is infected by the mother during pregnancy.
F.
Germinative infection is a rare form of horizontal infection.
F.
In germinative infection, the newborn is infected through the milk.
F.
In case of 2º infection, a bacterium infects an individual which is already infected with a pathogen.
T.
Facultative pathogens cause disease in case predisposing factors are present.
T.
Virulence is a stable characteristic in bacteria.
F.
Virulence of an agent can be characterized with LD50 value.
T.
The virulent factors help the agents in causing disease.
T.
Virulence of a bacterium/ virus can change.
T.
Sp. related resistance means that certain agents cannot cause infection in resistant host sp.
T.
Virulence variants can occur within a bacterium/virus sp.
