Topics of this game:
  • Primary method used to differentiate bacteria
  • Have a large external cell wall and stain purplish-blue
  • Have a thin internal cell wall and stain pink
  • Bacteria that grow in low oxygen environments
  • Protects some bacteria from drying out and shields from detergents or phagocytosis by WBCs
  • This causes severe disease, produced by Clostridium species
  • Hair-like structures on the outside of a cell
  • Dormant forms of bacteria that may even survive autoclaving!
  • viruses that contains RNA
  • belong to the helminth group: Cestodes
  • Myocoptes musculinis, Radfordia affinis, Myocoptes musculi
  • Pneumonyssus simicola
  • commonly called mange; in dogs, cats, rabbits, humans, etc.
  • found in hair follicles and sebaceous glands of dogs and other animals
  • Polyplax serrata
  • host-specific, spread by direct contact
  • unique arthropods: lack jointed legs, internal parasite, zoonotic, found in resp. tract, skin, SQ of reptiles
  • dog & cat flea, also the intermediate host for Dipylidium caninum
  • have a narrow head
  • have a wide head
  • In the Ascarid group, canine roundworm
  • mouse pinworms, passed by fecal-oral route
  • hookworm, zoonotic, found in Old World Monkeys
  • canine heartworm, in the nematode group
  • thorny-headed worms, require an intermediate host such as a cockroach or beetle

  • flagellate protozoan parasite
  • group of fungi that cause ringworm
  • zoonotic, causes lethargy, tremors, and partial paralysis in rabbits
  • affects Xenopus laevis, thickens the frog's skin, inhibiting oxygen flow, causing fatal wasting disease
  • type of pathogenic fungi (systemic mycoses) causes fatal disease in immunosuppressed animals
  • misshapen proteins that invade host cells, difficult to inactivate because they do not contain nucleic acid
  • can only replicate inside a host's cell, contains a strand of nucleic acid, a protein capsid, lipid envelope
  • contains ribonucleic acid
  • contains deoxyribonucleic acid
  • smallpox/vaccinia in humans, mouse pox in mice, monkey pox in NHPs, orf in small ruminants
  • type of virus highly resistant to break down in the environment
  • Macaques that are asymptomatic may shed this virus, type of herpesvirus, fatal to humans
  • an orthomyxovirus
  • paramyxovirus, infects NHPs exposed to infected humans
  • common coronavirus infection in mice, causes immunesuppression
  • highly contagious coronavirus in rats, causes disease of the eye and lymphatic system
  • means arthropod-borne, ticks, mosquitos, mites, lice carry these viruses from one animal to another
  • an arbovirus
  • a prion, bovine spongiform encephalopathy
