MT2 - FMD Flashcards
(46 cards)
51) FMD is a chronic disease
F
52) FMD spreads slowly within the herd
F
53) FMD virus is shed by semen
T
54) Foot and mouth disease is serologically uniform
F
55) Because of the high variability of FMD virus cross protection cannot be observed even within the serotype
T
56) Within the FMD serotypes, subtypes can be differentiated
T
57) The sample from the FMD suspected animal should be submitted to lab cooled but not frozen
T
58) FMD ulcers are usually sharp edged and regular round shaped
F
59) The foot and mouth disease is classified into 7 serotypes
T
60) FMD can be transmitted by frozen meat
T
61) The peracut form of FMD causes severe haemorrhages and death by shock
F
62) The chronic form of FMD means arthritis
F
63) FMD is transmitted by insect vectors
F
64) Vesicles of FMD can fully recover after immune response
T
65) FMD causes the loss of hoof in swine
T
66) The SAT-1,2 and 3 serotypes of FMD virus are present in Africa and Arabia
T
67) In humid cold environment, the FMD virus can retain its infectivity for weeks
T
68) Even the vaccinated animals can carry and shed the FMD virus
T
69) The main host (reservoir) of foot and mouth disease virus is swine
F
70) FMD induces lameness in sheep and oral vesicles in goats
T
71) FMD virus is shed in milk
T
72) For laboratory tests foot and mouth disease samples should be submitted in buffered transport medium
T
73) Within the FMD serotypes, subtypes can be differentiated
T
74) The foot and mouth disease virus can retain its infectivity for 40 days in manure
