What is believed to be the most common mode of transmission of papillomatosus in rabbits?
Mechanical vectors; Arthropod vectors transmit the Shope papillomavirus; therefore, arthropod control could be used as means of disease prevention.
What causes cerebellar hypoplasia?
Feline panleukopenia virus (Parvovirus).
A client brings in their previously healthy bird that suddenly died; it has liver necrosis & viral inclusions. What virus causes this?
Herpes.

C. it can be transmitted between cows
Viral disease MAY be caused by all of the following cellular mechanisms EXCEPT:

Attenuated vaccines tend to generate a strong immune response:
