(Alejandro Banda) During the enzootic cycle, this virus circulates only in small mammals such as cotton or spiny rats, and disease in humans and domestic animals rarely is seen. However, during the epizootic cycle, “epizootic viral subtypes” may infect mammals including humans, and horses can serve as amplification hosts.

(Alejandro Banda) The only genus included in the Togaviridae family is:

What are the powerful new tools being used to gain information to aid in the diagnosis and monitoring of disease?

Kittens that show abnormal clinical signs caused by in utero infection with feline panleukopenia virus are most likely to display:

Translation is the process of forming mRNA from nucleic acids, not necessarily DNA.

The carbohydrates used in forming viral glycoproteins are added to proteins by which cellular organelle?

Infection of psittacine birds by beak and feather disease virus (BFDV) is most likely to cause:

(Alejandro Banda) This virus induces a zoonosis transmitted by the wood tick (Dermacentor andersoni), and it is maintained in an epizootic cycle that includes different stages of ticks and small rodents.

Select the virus cultivation system can be used for virus replication/cultivation:
