K9 Definitions

Natural habitat of its causative agent such as soil or water. Cannot shed microorganisms

Reservoir-like, can clinically infect and shed microorganism that cause disease

Can be any vertebrae, invertebrate, or inanimate object

Spread of disease following intimate contact with a carrier, or source of infection.

Ability to spread from infected to host

Transmission between members of same population

Transmission through generations

Direct physical contact or close contact between host and susceptible individuals

Transmission involving transfer of infectious organisms from carrier to susceptible host by animate or inanimate intermediates (vehicles or fomites)

Dependent on ability of microorganisms to travel and survive in environment for long periods of times

Spread by arthropods most commonly transmitted through blood

Transmits infected agent without change in skin, no molts

Transmits infected agent with molting of agent while inside vector

Vector transfers organism to its offspring in ovary or placenta

Transfer of etiological agent through milk

Transfer from molting stages such as nymph to current host

Present at birth or develops in embryo or fetus in mother before or during pregnancy in uterus/placenta

Condition, disease or disorder that can be passed on from either one or both parents to offspring

Microorganisms are destroyed by clinical/physical means. All life forms including spores are killed

Immersing objects in disinfectant solution to reduce contamination

Cleaning measure intended to prevent disease and promote health

Destruction of most pathogenic microorganisms but not spores. Used on inanimate objects

Disinfectives used only on skin

Suggested disease not an act of god but from living organisms

Provided glass for microscope for direct observation of bacteria

Suggested specific disease is caused by a specific organism

Discovered viruses

Distinct cause of a disease.

Single-celled animal-like

Non-chlorophyll plants and divided into categories or molds and yeasts.

Unicellular which takes on 3 basic shapes.

Intracellular parasites, at some point in life cycle must use arthropods.

Resemble rickettsiae

Smallest free-living organisms, no cell wall, resistant to antibiotics.

PPLO

Posses DNA or RNA, no enzyme systems, have living cells

Trauma, pressure, are examples of what?

Toxins, poisons, heavy metals are examples of what?

Parasites, bacteria, viruses, are examples of what?

Nutrition, temperature, and hygiene are examples of what?

Due to lack of dietary substances or inability to digest

Includes injuries such as lacerations, fractions, gun shots

Substances toxic to living tissues such as ingestion, absorption or inhalation

Involves multi-cellular organisms and unicellular organisms

Virulence
Dosage
Route of inoculation

Immune system antibodies (immunogolbulins)

Vaccine made from killed bacteria

Other things in vaccines

Added to vaccines to enhance immune response by causing inflammatory response 
EX: Aluminium

B cell immunity. No memory. Consists of B lymphocytes, plasma cells, and immunoglobulins.

T cell immnuity. No memory. T lymphocytes go to thymus to recognize unique markers on cells.

Produce inflammatory mediators which regulate chronic inflammation

Modified lymphocytes that produce antibodies

Failure of immune response

Why vaccines fail

Hypersensitivity reaction which includes hives, facial swelling, shock, etc.

Lumps formed at vaccination site b/c of reaction of adjuvants

In cats, grave long-term prognosis.

Vaccine antigen and corresponding antibody are deposited in walls of small blood vessels

Inflammation of sclera, iris and cornia

Relationship of antibodies to antigen in ratios. 1:10 (high) 1:100 (low)

Patient that is parasitized by etiological agent

Relationship of various factors which determine frequency and distribution of infectious diseases

TVMDL

Development of morbid conditions of a disease

CDC

Living organism that lives at expense of another microorganism called a host

Signs of a disease that can be visualized with the naked eye

Signs of disease deduced through tests

Inanimate object that maintains presence of etiology to pass along

Prevention of disease

All diseases possible based on symptoms

Most likely disease based on history of whats been seen lately

Absolute identification of disease based on clinical signs

Death within 24 hrs

Death within 48-72 hours

Mild clinical signs

No clinical signs

Harbors the etiology but never shows symptoms or clinical signs

Disease transmitted to man

Attacking many animals in any region at same time

Present in animal community at all times, occurring in only small numbers

Chemical releases and interfers with ability of virus to cause disease by preventing replication within host cell

Enzymes activated during infection and binds to invading cells and produced small holes in cell wall

4 kennel cough complexes
