About This Quiz

Don

Animal shelters can be a breeding ground for infectious diseases, but staff and volunteers can help keep the animals healthy. Dr. Erin Henry, Swanson Intern in Shelter Medicine... see moreat Cornell University, discusses common methods by which diseases are spread through a shelter, and the role that shelter staff play. see less

2. A fomite is any object capable of carrying infectious organisms from one individual and transferring it to another.

True

False

Submit

3. The two general modes of disease transmission are:

Longitudinal and Latitudinal Transmission.

Sideways and Up-and-Down Transmission.

Horizontal and Vertical Transmission.

Inside and Outside Transmission.

Backwards and Forwards Transmission.

Submit

4. The following is (are) true of disease transmission in an animal shelter:

Shelter staff and volunteers play a major role in disease transmission and prevention. Factors influencing transmission include the susceptibility of the animal and infectivity of the agent.

A common mode of disease transmission are fomites.

The shelter set-up will often determine the most likely mode of transmission for diseases.

All of the above

Submit

5. What determines whether or not a disease is "successfully" transmitted?

Susceptibility of the potential host.

Infectivity of the infectious agent.

Route of exposure.

None of the above.

All of the above.

Submit

6. Direct droplet disease transmission is:

Transmission via body surface to body surface contact.

Transmission via small infectious droplets that travel a short distance from the infectious animal and come into contact with a susceptible animal's mucous membranes.

Transmission via infectious disease particles that remain suspended in the air for prolonged periods of time and are capable of traveling long distances.

Transmission when a disease passes through another species before infecting another animal (of the same or different species).

Transmission when a susceptible animal comes into contact with a contaminated environment (i.e., a fomite).

Submit

7. Indirect environmental disease transmission is:

Transmission via body surface to body surface contact.

Transmission via small infectious droplets that travel a short distance from the infectious animal and come into contact with a susceptible animal's mucous membranes.

Transmission via infectious disease particles that remain suspended in the air for prolonged periods of time and are capable of traveling long distances.

Transmission when a disease passes through another species before infecting another animal (of the same or different species).

Transmission when a susceptible animal comes into contact with a contaminated environment (i.e., a fomite).

Submit

8. Direct contact disease transmission is:

Transmission via body surface to body surface contact.

Transmission via small infectious droplets that travel a short distance from the infectious animal and come into contact with a susceptible animal's mucous membranes.

Transmission via infectious disease particles that remain suspended in the air for prolonged periods of time and are capable of traveling long distances.

Transmission when a disease passes through another species before infecting another animal (of the same or different species).

Transmission when a susceptible animal comes into contact with a contaminated environment (i.e., a fomite).

Submit

9. Indirect airborne disease transmission is:

Transmission via body surface to body surface contact.

Transmission via small infectious droplets that travel a short distance from the infectious animal and come into contact with a susceptible animal's mucous membranes.

Transmission via infectious disease particles that remain suspended in the air for prolonged periods of time and are capable of traveling long distances.

Transmission when a disease passes through another species before infecting another animal (of the same or different species).

Transmission when a susceptible animal comes into contact with a contaminated environment (i.e., a fomite).

Submit

10. Indirect vector disease transmission is:

Transmission via body surface to body surface contact.

Transmission via small infectious droplets that travel a short distance from the infectious animal and come into contact with a susceptible animal's mucous membranes.

Transmission via infectious disease particles that remain suspended in the air for prolonged periods of time and are capable of traveling long distances.

Transmission when a disease passes through another species before infecting another animal (of the same or different species).

Transmission when a susceptible animal comes into contact with a contaminated environment (i.e., a fomite).

Submit

11. Why is it important for shelter staff and volunteers to know about disease transmission in shelters?

Because they can help with the prevention and control of disease outbreaks.

Because it will help keep their pets at home safe.

Because knowing about how pathogens work is an interesting process.

All of the above.

Both A and B
