VTPB 910 TAMU CVM questions and
answers graded A+ updated
saprophyte - correct answer ✔✔organisms that inhabit the inanimate environment
facultative intracellular pathogen - correct answer ✔✔an infectious agent that may replicate
inside or outside host cells
syndrome - correct answer ✔✔a set of clinical signs which occur together; the sum of clinical
signs in a disease state
infection - correct answer ✔✔the presence of an infectious agent in (or on) an individual with
accompanying damage to host cells, tissues, or organs; the infection may or may not be
clinically apparent
topic:the significance of persistent infections - correct answer ✔✔>clinical disease may not be
apparent
>clinical disease may be intermittent during the course of infection
>clinical disease may develop late in the course of infection
>persistently infected animals may shed organism, exposing susceptible animals
