Original questions written to this exam's published syllabus and pattern. Not past papers.
1. A country has completed a PVS Evaluation and now wants a costed strategic plan showing what it needs to reach its chosen levels of advancement. Which stage of the PVS Pathway provides this?
D. PVS Gap Analysis
The Gap Analysis takes the Evaluation's findings and the country's own priorities and produces a costed plan and budget. Orientation trains national staff before the Evaluation; the PVS-IHR workshop joins animal and human health services; annual reconfirmation belongs to official disease status, not the PVS Pathway.

2. What is the commonest way infectious diseases spread between herds and regions?
D. Movement of live animals
Movement of animals, often while incubating infection, and the markets and vehicles that go with it is the main route between herds; that is why movement control is the first emergency measure. Wind, wild birds and water matter for particular diseases but are not the general main route.
