  • 1-3 hours
  • 1-5 days

Question 4

Question
Diagnosis of rabies is achieved via: (select all that apply)
Answer
  • Histopathology identifying the presence of Negri bodies in neurons
  • An ELISA test looking for serum antibodies
  • Clinical signs alone, as these are pathognomonic for rabies
  • Fluorescent antibody tests

Question 5

Question
______ appear refractory to the oral vaccines administered to wildlife.
Answer
  • Raccoons

Question 6

Question
Canine distemper is caused by:
Answer

  • The incubation period is 6-8 months
  • The virus replicates in respiratory lymphatic tissue

Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 13

Question
Diagnosis of sarcoptic mange can be made via: (select all that apply)
Answer
