1Which of the following are the three biggest reservoir species for Rabies in VA?
- ABats
- BRaccoons
- CFoxes
- DSkunks
- ERodents
- FDomestic animals
2Identifying the Rabies serotype variants can be important in terms of:
- AVaccine protocol, as the rabies vaccines are not cross-protective.
- BTreatment protocol, as some variants are curable while the others are invariable fatal.
- CInvestigating the source of human exposure.
- DAll of the above.
3The incubation period of rabies is:
- A1-3 days
- B1-3 months
- C1-3 hours
- D1-5 days
4Diagnosis of rabies is achieved via: (select all that apply)
- AHistopathology identifying the presence of Negri bodies in neurons
- BAn ELISA test looking for serum antibodies
- CClinical signs alone, as these are pathognomonic for rabies
- DFluorescent antibody tests
5______ appear refractory to the oral vaccines administered to wildlife.
- ARaccoons
- BSkunks
- CBats
- DFoxes
6Canine distemper is caused by:
- AA rhabdovirus
- BA morbilivirus from the family Paramyxoviridae
- CExposure to periods of extreme heat or cold
- DA combined infection with Bordetella bronchiseptica and Pasteurella multocida
7Canine distemper is an important disease for grey foxes more than it is for red foxes.
- ATrue
- BFalse
8For a raccoon that is out in the middle of the day, you're number one diagnosis would be _____, and your number 2 diagnosis would be _____
- ARabies; Sarcoptic Mange
- BRabies; Canine Distemper
- CCanine Distemper; Rabies
- DSarcoptic Mange; Rabies
9There are 4 major body systems associated with canine distemper. Which are they?
- AReproductive
- BRespiratory
- CGI
- DUrinary
- ENervous system
- FSkin
10Which of the following is true regarding the pathogenesis of canine distemper? Select all that apply.
- AThe incubation period is 14-18 days
- BThe incubation period is 6-8 months
- CThe virus replicates in respiratory lymphatic tissue
- DThe virus replicates in peripheral axons of the PNS
- ESpread to other tissues is often through the lymphatic channels
- FSpread to other tissues is often hematogenous
11Like rabies, vaccination protocols for canine distemper in wildlife consist of dropping baits laced with oral vaccine in highly prevalent areas.
- ATrue
- BFalse
12Like distemper, sarcoptic mange generally affects grey foxes moreso than red foxes.
- ATrue
- BFalse
13Diagnosis of sarcoptic mange can be made via: (select all that apply)
- AThe classic signs of alopecia, flaky fetid material in fur, and thickening of the skin, which may not be pathognomonic but are highly suggestive
- BVisualization of morulae on peripheral blood smears
- CVisualization of the Sarcoptes scabiei on skin scrapings
- DHeavy profliferation of foot pad skin is pathognomonic for mange
14The serotypes capable of causing hemorrhagic disease in white-tailed deer include: (select all that apply)
- ABT2
- BBT10
- CBT11
- DBT13
- EBT17
15Hemorrhagic disease occurs most often during late summer to early fall. This is due mostly to
- ABreeding season, which increases contact time for infected deer.
- BFood competition, which increases contact time for infected deer.
- CThis is the life span of the culicoides species that transmits the disease.
- DNone of the above are correct.
16Hemorrhagic disease is the most problematic disease of white-tailed deer.
- ATrue
- BFalse
17This clinical finding would lead you to suspect hemorrhagic disease above any other:
- APulmonary edema
- BHemorrhage at the base of the pulmonary artery
- CEdema of the head, neck, tongue, and conjunctiva
- DOral cyanosis
18Wild carnivores are generally infected by tuberculosis following which of the general routes of "spillover"?
- ACattle -> wild deer -> carnivores
- BWild deer -> cattle -> culicoides -> carnivores
- CCattle -> wild deer -> culicoides -> carnivores
- DNone of the above, carnivores are naturally infected with tuberculosis.
