Question

MICROBIOLOGY MULTIPLE CHOICE:

TRUE OR FALSE:

Which of the following is not true microbiology? Which disease type is mismatched? Which statement is false? Which stage of an infectious disease is false? All of the following body areas are generally sterile except: Eradication of disease is almost impossible because: Rubeola is more likely to produce fetal damage than Rubella. The Salk vaccine consists of 3 live, attenuated viruses. Chickenpox and shingles are genetically linked diseases. The "kissing disease" or "student disease" is mononucleosis. Dead viral vaccines last longer and provide better long term protection than live attenuated viral vaccines. When children are given aspirin after a bout of the chicken pox, Reyes syndrome could result. Rabies attacks the gastrointestinal tract that's why animals salivate profusely. We carry every virus we ever had within our bodies. Prion diseases attack the brain and make it spongy. If the Australian antigen is found in a blood draw, you may never give blood because of a potential exposure to HBV in the past.

Explanation / Answer

4. True - Disease is caused by virus which is spread through saliva

5. True - Dead viral vaccines like salk vaccines provide better and long term protection than live attenuated vaccine like sabin vaccine

6.True - Aspirin consumption by children with viral illness may lead to reyes syndrome

7. False - symptoms of rabies are partial paralysis, insomnia, agitation, abnormal behaviour and gastrointestinal tract is not affected

8. True: There are trillions of viruses which live in and on our cells.

9. True: Prion protein ound on the surface of cells becomes abnormal and clump in the brain

10. True
