The following virus results from mutation and recombination events during replication at very high levels in macrophages, causing extreme inflammation.
Feline Infectious Peritonitis (FIP)
100
This test, with a turnaround time of 1-3 days, can quickly identify and move low risk cats through the shelter system, as it helps rule out dermatophyte infection.
Fungal PCR
100
The clinical signs of this disease are biphasic:
Dogs first start with a high fever and coughing, which may then lead to skin lesions (hardened footpads), neurological signs (seizures), and gastrointestinal signs (vomiting and diarrhea)
Canine Distemper
200
This antibiotic is a first line choice against Feline Upper Respiratory Disease if antibiotics are deemed to be necessary. The tablets have been known to cause esophageal strictures in cats.
Doxycycline
200
Name the two types of lice (scientific or common name accepted)
Sucking Louse (Anoplura) and Chewing Louse (Mallophaga)
200
FIV is primarily transmitted through _______
Bite wounds/ blood transfer from fighting
200
This species of ringworm (Dermatophytosis) originates from rodents, and should be the number one suspicion for homes that house guinea pigs.
Trichophyton spp. ( Trichophyton mentagrophytes)
200
The following ______________ protocol for adoption provides the following benefits:
allows dogs in quarantine to be seen by public
still lets them be considered for adoption
but also minimizes risk of disease transmission
Open Selection
300
List ONE of the two major ways Feline Respiratory Disease is transmitted
Either:
1. Direct contact with cats actively shedding
2. Transmission by fomites eg. contaminated surfaces, objects, clothing
(Aerosolized droplets not as significant)
300
What is the preferred diagnostic test for Demodecosis (Demodex)? Be specific
Deep skin scrapes
300
Two part answer:
The FELV/FIV Combined Snap Point of Care test, tests for the 1) FELV ______ and the 2) FIV ______ in the blood. Results are available in 10 minutes.
1) Antigen (FELV)
2) Antibody (FIV)
300
A woods lamp examination can identify infected hairs by producing a bright, green apple fluorescence, but only for this fungal species.
Microsporum canis
300
This type of kennel cough (CIRDC) vaccination (named by administration method), has been shown to be superior to the other two types, due to rapid onset of immunity and high IGA concentrations in intact respiratory mucosa.
Intranasal 
400
Name one of the reasons (situations) in a Feline Upper Respiratory Disease case that would warrant an RT-PCR test.
- disease outbreak situations
- ongoing disease surveillance
-unusually severe disease.
400
This specific type of internal parasite uses the flea as the intermediate host.
Dipylidium caninum (Canine Tapeworm)
400
2 part answer: If a shelter has to house FELV + animals, what is the only two ways to do so:
House cats singly
Test all cats intended to go into group housing; if positive, should have their own separate area
400
Mycologic cure is defined as the point when an animal is no longer an infectious risk to either humans or animals.
This is at _____ consecutive ringworm cultures at weekly intervals
Three cultures
(Two if using a specific protocol of Oral itraconazole 5-10 mg/kg q24h x 21 days in combination with twice weekly lime sulfur treatments)
400
This is the most common way that Canine Infectious Respiratory Disease (CIRD) or Kennel Cough, is transmitted.
Oronasal contact with aerosolized respiratory secretions
500
Out of all the feline respiratory disease pathogens, this specific one is of the highest concern as it has a non enveloped structure which makes it difficult to eliminate in the environment.
Calicivirus
500
Why do the large majority of deworming medications have to be repeated every 2-3 weeks ?
Dewormers are "purge" dewormers aka they only kill the adult stage of the worm.
500
Name one clinical sign for each of the two types of FIP:
2) Dry Form (Non effusive)
1) Effusive form (wet): ascites, abdominal distension, icterus, tachypnea/dypsnea
2) Non effusive form (dry): neurologic abnormalities, thoracic/abdominal masses (granulomas), ocular issues
500
List two functions of the pathogen scoring system (P score) as its use as a diagnostic tool for ringworm cultures.
Two of the following:
- can be used to monitor response to treatment
-quantify environmental cultures
-differentiate between fomites and true infection, therefore guiding diagnosis/treatment conditions
