Tuberculosis occurs rarely in nonhuman primates in the wild. It is usually contracted from humans.
What is True
100
This is a rickettsial disease caused by Coxiella burnetii that can be passed in body fluids, such as blood, milk or amniotic fluid, and through placental membranes.
What is Q fever
100
Caused by acid erosion of the stomach mucosa, largely due to stress caused by over-crowding and feed-induced gastric hyperacidity. Clinical signs include appearance of listlessness and anorexia with dark, bloody stool.
What are Gastric Ulcers

What is bath in Epsom salts (magnesium sulfate)
100
Also known as white spot disease
What is Ich
200
The causative agent of tuberculosis
What is Mycobacterium tuberculosis or Mycobacterium bovis
200
This is caused by a poxvirus which primarily affects sheep and goats. Clinical signs include poxlike blisters on the lips, nose, udders and feet of affected animals. This is also zoonotic.
What is Orf
200
Also known as hypernatremia. This condition is caused by a lack of water intake. Lactating sows are particularly susceptible. Early signs include increased thirst and constipation. Progressing signs include a dazed appearance and development of seizures leading to death.
What is Salt Toxicity
200
Bacterial septicemia that occurs in frogs; clinical signs include lack of movement when prodded, skin hemorrhages, and erosions of toes, feet, and jaws.
What is red leg
200
Caused by supersaturation of air dissolved in the system water
What is Gas bubble disease
300
A viral disease with clinical signs of skin rash, typically on the face and hands. More severe signs include pneumonia, meningitis and abortion of a fetus.
What is Measles
300
This is a bacterial infection that primarily infects sheep and goats. The infection may cause septicemia, respiratory disease and mastitis. The bacteria normally reside in the mouth and upper respiratory tract of ruminants and become pathogenic when the immune system is suppressed. Treated with antibiotics
What is Pasteurella multocida (Pasteurellosis)
300
This is a viral disease that causes abortion and still-births in fetuses and respiratory illness in piglets which may be fatal. This virus can cross the placental barrier. Infection is normally subclinical in adults. There is a vaccine to prevent this condition.
What is Porcine Reproductive & Respiratory Syndrome Virus (PRRSV)
300
Diagnosis confirmed by taking skin scrapings or by euthanizing a frog and placing under dissecting microscope to look for small white nematodes or tunnels in the epidermis
What is Cutaneous capillariasis
300
The most common disease of freshwater fish maintained in aquaria in institutional settings
What is microsporidiosis
400
Old world monkeys are often carriers of this virus. Clinical signs include oral lesions or ulcers. This is a zoonotic disease. Current therapy for exposure is a course of antiviral drugs acyclovir or valacyclovir.
What is B Virus
400
This is the cessation or reduction in the motility of the ruminant's stomach due to indigestion caused by an environmental change inside the rumen. Commonly associated with a grain-heavy diet with insufficient roughage or a sudden change in the diet. Clinical signs include absence or reduction of rumen sounds, inappetence and diarrhea.
What is Rumen Stasis
400
Clinical signs include wasting, poor growth, diarrhea, jaundice, anemia and immunological deficits. Transmitted by aerosol, fecal-oral, and contact routes.
What is Porcine Circovirus (PCV2)
400
Caused by the fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatis. Causes thickening and ulceration of the amphibian's skin.
What is Chytridiomycosis
400
affected fish rub their sides and flip around in the corners of the tank due to irritation of the skin
What is velvet disease
500
These viruses establish latent, persistent infections in their nonhuman primate hosts. Most infections are subclinical. These viruses suppress the immune system and produce tumors. Immunodeficiency can be fatal. Human infections have been reported, these agents are zoonotic.
What is Simian Retroviruses
500
This condition is the build up of gasses of fermentation in the rumen and reticulum. In some cases a rumenotomy is needed to relieve the pressure. In severe cases the condition may be fatal.
What is Bloat
500
This is a metabolic disease of skeletal muscles. Particular breeds of swine are predisposed to this condition. It is a genetic disorder. The condition is trigged by anesthetics, neuromuscular blockers, stress or exercise. May occur during anesthesia or anesthesia recovery. Clinical signs include rising body temperature, muscle rigidity and a rapid heart rate.
What is Malignant Hyperthermia
500
A condition where the body seems "hard" and floats to the top of the tank; caused by distention of the body cavity by a fluid
What is Dropsy
500
Associated with an endoparasitic worm that enters the gut and causes wasting disease in fish; may also cause intestinal cancer.
