In Europe only low virulence strains of IBuDV can be found.
F.
IBuD is a very contagious disease.
T.
Pigeons are the most susceptible to IBuDV.
F.
Early IBuDV infection damages the humoral immunity.
T.
Wild birds are involved in the transmission cycle of Eastern Eq Encephalomyelitis (EEE).
T.
Ticks are involved in the transmission cycle of EEE.
F.
Viral Eq encephalomyelitis is usually diagnosed on the basis of CS.
F.
In endemic countries vaccines are available against Eq viral encephalomyelitis.
T.
Flaviviruses form distinct serotypes, without serological cross- reactions.
F.
Tick- borne encephalitis virus can be transmitted with raw goat milk.
T.
Tick- borne encephalitis is mainly seen in humans.
T.
The principle vector of Louping ill virus is Rhipicephalus appendiculatus.
F.
WNV is only present in Africa.
F.
Eq are the reservoir hosts of WNV.
F.
The weather influences the emergence of WNV outbreaks, through it’s effect on mosquito propagation dynamics.
T.
Lab diagnosis should confirm the aetiology of West Nile Encephalitis.
T.
Sus is ø susceptible to BoVDV.
F.
The BoVDV genotype 2 is less virulent than genotype 1.
F.
The BoVDV cannot be transmitted by AI.
F.
Intrauterine BoVDV infection always causes abortion.
F.
Fomites do ø play a role in the transmission of CSFV.
F.
Transplacental infection with CSFV may cause immunotolerance in new- born piglets.
T.
Sus shed CSFV only in the terminal phase of the disease.
F.
Europe is free from CSFV.
