questionnumber="2"
question="Which bacteria is responsible for causing strangles in horses?"
choice4="Streptococcus equi subsp. equi"
choice1="Burkholderia mallei"
choice3="Streptococcus equi subsp. zooepidemicus"
choice5="Rhodococcus equi"
choice2="Staphylococcus aureus"
correctchoice="4"
feedback4="'''Correct!''' Streptococcus equi subsp. equi is a very pathogenic bacteria typically causing suppurative rhinitis, pharyngitis and lymphadenitis of the lymph nodes of the head and neck that drain the upper respiratory tract. These lymph nodes often rupture and discharge pus 2-3 weeks after the onset of infection. [[Respiratory Bacterial Infections - Pathology#In Horses|WikiVet Article: equine bacterial ]]"
feedback1="'''Incorrect.''' Burkholderia mallei is implicated in glanders, a disease seen in eastern Europe and Asia and which is notifiable in UK. It is characterised by multiple small submucosal nasal nodules which liquefy and ulcerate. The correct answer is Streptococcus equi subsp. equi, a very pathogenic bacteria typically causing suppurative rhinitis, pharyngitis and lymphadenitis of the lymph nodes of the head and neck that drain the upper respiratory tract. These lymph nodes often rupture and discharge pus 2-3 weeks after the onset of infection. [[Respiratory Bacterial Infections - Pathology#In Horses|WikiVet Article: equine bacterial ]]"
feedback3="'''Incorrect.''' Although Streptococcus equi subsp. zooepidemicus does cause an upper respiratory tract infection that can be indistinguishable clinically from Strangles, but it does not cause suppurative lymphadenitis which the causative bacteria Streptococcus equi subsp. equi does. This is a very pathogenic bacteria typically causing suppurative rhinitis, pharyngitis and lymphadenitis of the lymph nodes of the head and neck that drain the upper respiratory tract. These lymph nodes often rupture and discharge pus 2-3 weeks after the onset of infection. [[Respiratory Bacterial Infections - Pathology#In Horses|WikiVet Article: equine bacterial ]]"
feedback5="'''Incorrect.''' Rhodococcus equi is an important cause of severe, often fatal granulomatous pneumonia in foals and is not associated with strangles. The correct answer is Streptococcus equi subsp. equi, a very pathogenic bacteria typically causing suppurative rhinitis, pharyngitis and lymphadenitis of the lymph nodes of the head and neck that drain the upper respiratory tract. These lymph nodes often rupture and discharge pus 2-3 weeks after the onset of infection. [[Respiratory Bacterial Infections - Pathology#In Horses|WikiVet Article: equine bacterial ]]"
feedback2="'''Incorrect.''' Staphylococcus aureus is not associated with respiratory disease in horses. The correct answer is Streptococcus equi subsp. equi, a very pathogenic bacteria typically causing suppurative rhinitis, pharyngitis and lymphadenitis of the lymph nodes of the head and neck that drain the upper respiratory tract.

choice5="Type B"
choice1="Type A"
choice2="Type C"
choice3="Type D"
choice4="Type E"
correctchoice="5"
feedback5="'''Correct!''' C. perfringens Type B does cause lamb dysentery. Infection leads to haemorrhagic enteritis and ulceration in the small intestine and sudden death in lambs in the first weeks of life."
feedback1="'''Incorrect.''' C. perfringens Type A causes entero toxaemia in sheep, necrotising entercolitis in pigs and necrotic enteritis in chickens. The correct answer is C. perfringens Type B which causes dysentery in lambs in the first weeks of life."
feedback2="'''Incorrect.''' C. perfringens Type C causes sheep struck, an acute enterotoxaemia which leads to sudden death of sheep at pasture. This type also causes haemorrhagic enteritis in piglets and necrotic enteritis in chickens. The correct answer is C. perfringens Type B which causes dysentery in lambs in the first weeks of life."
feedback3="'''Incorrect.''' C. perfringens Type D causes pulpy kidney disease in 3-10 week old lambs. A toxaemia which in the acute stages causes convulsions and death. The correct answer is C. perfringens Type B which causes dysentery in lambs in the first weeks of life."

questionnumber="4"
question="What causes pizzle rot?"
choice1="Corynebacterium renale"
choice3="Brucella abortus"
choice2="Arcanobacter pyogenes"
choice4="Staphylococcus aureus"
choice5="Escherichia coli"
correctchoice="1"
feedback1="'''Correct!''' Pizzle rot, otherwise known as ulcerative balanoposthitis is seen as ulceration around the prepucial orifice with a brown crust, particularly in Merino sheeep and Angora goats. High urine urea levels from high protein intake may predispose to the condition and castration and heavy wool around the prepuce are risk factors, but the actual causal agent is Corynebacterium renale. The bacteria hydrolyses urea to ammonia which then causes mucosal irritation and ulceration. [[Corynebacterium species|WikiVet Article: Corynebacterium.]]"
