__________ is a condition in the individual animal overtly shows bodily changes that are outside the normal range for that species.

Disease

100

___________ and the flu are diseases that are contagious because they are spread from animal to animal by contact.

Ringworm

100

An insect-borne disease that stems from biting midges 

Blue Tongue 

200

Cows that are brown (light tan to dark fawn) with darker points around the head and legs

Jersey

200

a metabolic disorder that occurs in cattle when energy demands (e.g. high milk production) exceed energy intake and result in a negative energy balance

Ketosis

200

The changes that mark the disease are known as _____________.

symptoms

200

____________ is the ability of white blood

cells to fight a pathogen and is created

by actually having the disease.

Immunity

200

A ________ disease is one that can be passed from

animals to humans. Examples of zoonotic diseases include rabies, Ebola, influenza, and tuberculosis.

zoonotic

300

Cows that have a brown coat of various shades, often with a silvery tone (don’t have dark points like Jersey)

Brown Swiss

300

What is hardware disease and what is one way it can be prevented?

It is most common in dairy cattle but is occasionally seen in beef cattle. It is very rarely reported in any other ruminants. It can be difficult to conclusively diagnose but can be prevented by the oral administration of a magnet around the time that the animal reaches the age of one year.

300

_______ Disease: injuries, poisons/chemicals, poor nutrition, birth defects, genetic disorders. _________ disease is caused by pathogens (microorganisms) (bacteria, fungi, viruses, etc.)

Non-infectious 

Infectious Disease


300

 _____________ immunity is acquired by the animal as a result of an infection (or vaccination) followed by

full recovery.

Active

300

_________ are created by the host’s body in

response to the presence of an attacking

pathogen.

Antibodies


400

Cows have a ______________ digestive system meaning they have ____ stomach chambers/compartments

Cows have a ruminant digestive system meaning they have 4 stomach chambers/compartments

400

Infectious diseases are ________________ if they are transmitted by being passed from animal to

animal

contagious

400

The organism that causes an

infectious disease is a 

pathogen

400

_________ immunity is transferred from another

animal that has active immunity.

Passive

400

Many factors affect the spread of disease by

affecting the host, the environment, the

pathogen, or all of the above.

These include:

Crowding – the more individuals in an area, the more

a disease can occur and spread. Weather – some conditions favor the growth and

reproduction of a pathogen (usually warm and wet

environments cause diseases to grow more quickly)

Hygiene – the less sterile and less clean an

environment, the more that disease can spread.

Vectors – the presence of mice, mosquitoes, flies, and other common vectors increases the spread of disease.

A female that has reproduced is called a: ____________________

A male is called a: __________________
