Question

The IPN (Infectious Pancreatic Necrosis) and VHS (Viral Hemorrhagic Septicemia) are the well known infectious disease of
A. Fish
B. Cattle
C. Poultry
D. None of the above

Answer 1

Infectious Pancreatic Necrosis is a viral disease that mostly affects young salmonids, such as trout or salmon. It spreads horizontally via infected water in organisms.

Complete answer: IPN (Infectious Pancreatic Necrosis) and VMS (Viral Hemorrhagic Septicemia) are viral diseases. Viral diseases are very infectious and can spread by one organism to another by direct contact or by air, water, etc. IPN (Infectious Pancreatic Necrosis) generally occurs in salmon fish. The main cause of this disease is the premature killing of cells in living tissues. VMS (Viral Hemorrhagic Septicemia) is also a deadly viral infection of fishes. This disease is caused by the VHS virus. It affects over 50 species of fishes of freshwater and sea in several parts of the northern hemisphere. The infectious diseases that are generally seen in poultry birds are avian encephalomyelitis, avian influenza, avian tuberculosis, CAV or chicken anaemia virus infection, chlamydiosis, EDS or egg drop syndrome, fowl cholera or pasteurellosis, fowl pox, infectious bursal disease, etc. Infectious diseases that are generally seen in cattle are bovine viral diarrhoea, bovine herpes virus, parainfluenza virus type 3, BRSV or bovine respiratory syncytial virus, etc.
Hence, the correct answer is option A.

Note: Plants can also be affected by viruses, for example, a tobacco plant is affected by tobacco mosaic virus or TMV, Agrobacterium causes crown gall disease in plants. In humans, viruses such as HIV cause AIDS, chickenpox, corona, dengue, chikungunya, etc.
