About This Quiz

Panleukopenia and parvovirus are life threatening viral infections, especially in a densely housed shelter environment. Dr. Elizabeth Berliner, Director of Clinical Programs for Maddie’s Shelter Medicine Program at Cornell University, discusses relevant updates, a description of diagnostic tests available and recommendations regarding management of such diseases in the shelter environment at the 2012 ASPCA/Maddie’s Shelter Medicine Conference.

2.

- True
- False
Correct Answer

A. True
3.

Individual animals who are at a high/intermediate risk of disease are those who are:
- Clinically affected with a disease.
- Potentially exposed to a disease.
- Clinically recovered from a disease.
- All of the above.
- None of the above.
Correct Answer

A. All of the above.
4.

Prevention and control measures for dealing with disease include:
- Segregate and adopt those animals not exposed or who are immune.
- Isolate clinically ill animals.
- Quarantine and monitor potentially exposed animals.
- Move to adoption clinically recovered animals.
- All of the above.
Correct Answer

A. All of the above.
5.

Challenges in diagnosis and testing for Canine Parvovirus and Feline Panleukopenia include:
- Signs are nonspecific, the cost of a missed diagnosis is high, testing can be confounded by vaccination, affected animals can be shedding prior to showing signs (or even without showing signs).
- Signs are specific to the disease, the cost of a missed diagnosis is high, testing can be confounded by vaccination, affected animals can be shedding prior to showing signs (or even without showing signs).
- Signs are nonspecific, the cost of a missed diagnosis is low, testing can be confounded by vaccination, affected animals can be shedding prior to showing signs (or even without showing signs).
- Signs are nonspecific, the cost of a missed diagnosis is high, testing is not confounded by vaccination, affected animals can be shedding prior to showing signs (or even without showing signs).
- Signs are nonspecific, the cost of a missed diagnosis is high, testing can be confounded by vaccination, affected animals shed only when showing signs of the disease.
Correct Answer

A. Signs are nonspecific, the cost of a missed diagnosis is high, testing can be confounded by vaccination, affected animals can be shedding prior to showing signs (or even without showing signs).
6.

Both Canine Parvovirus and Feline Panleukopenia Virus vaccines are not very effective at preventing disease.
- True
- False
Correct Answer

A. False
7.

Studies of Protective Antibody Titers (PAT) show that:
- 57% of dogs entering a Florida municipal shelter had PAT against Canine Parvovirus.
- 41% of cats entering three Florida shelters had PAT against Feline Panleukopenia Virus.
- Animals entering shelters have about the same level of PAT as owned pets entering veterinary hospitals.
- Cats are more protected against Feline Panleukopenia Virus than dogs against Canine Parvovirus.
- Both A and B
Correct Answer

A. Both A and B
8.

Protective Antibody Testing enhances risk assessment.
- True
- False
Correct Answer

A. True
9.

- Confirm vaccination/vaccinate/re-vaccinate.
- Quarantine for 7–14 days.
- Monitoring daily for clinical signs.
- B, C and D.
Correct Answer
