Question

Match List-I with List-II
{|l|l|} List-I (Test) & List-II (Condition)
(A). Rivalta's Test & (I). Streptococcus agalactiae
(B). Pole Test & (II). TRP/ Foreign Body Syndrome
(C). Casoni Test & (III). Hydatid Cyst Diseases
(D). Hoti's Test & (IV). Feline Infectious Peritonitis

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

• (A) - (I), (B) - (II), (C) - (III), (D) - (IV)
• (A) - (IV), (B) - (II), (C) - (III), (D) - (I)
• (A) - (I), (B) - (II), (C) - (IV), (D) - (III)
• (A) - (III), (B) - (IV), (C) - (I), (D) - (II)

Hint:

Remember:
- Rivalta's Test is the classic bedside test for FIP effusions.
- Hotis Test is specifically used to identify mastitis caused by Streptococcus agalactiae in dairy cows.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Understanding the Concept:
Veterinary diagnostics utilizes specific laboratory assays, chemical tests, and physical maneuvers to identify infectious agents or characteristic pathological changes.

Step 2: Detailed Explanation:
Let us match the diagnostic tests in List-I with the conditions in List-II:
- (A) Rivalta's Test \(\rightarrow\) (IV) Feline Infectious Peritonitis (FIP):
Rivalta's test is a simple chemical test used to differentiate transudates from exudates in pleural or peritoneal effusions.
FIP causes a classic protein-rich, highly cellular exudate.
When a drop of this effusion is added to a dilute acetic acid solution, it forms a distinct precipitate that remains suspended, indicating a positive test.
- (B) Pole Test \(\rightarrow\) (II) TRP/ Foreign Body Syndrome:
The pole test (or bar test) is a physical clinical test used in cattle suspected of having Traumatic Reticuloperitonitis (TRP or hardware disease).
A pole is placed under the animal's chest behind the forelimbs and lifted quickly to compress the reticulum.
A painful grunt or resistance from the cow indicates reticular pain caused by a penetrating foreign body.
- (C) Casoni Test \(\rightarrow\) (III) Hydatid Cyst Diseases:
The Casoni test is an immediate hypersensitivity skin test used to diagnose hydatid disease (caused by Echinococcus granulosus).
Intradermal injection of sterile hydatid fluid produces a distinct wheal-and-flare reaction in sensitized individuals.
- (D) Hoti's Test (Hotis Test) \(\rightarrow\) (I) Streptococcus agalactiae:
The Hotis test is a diagnostic test used to detect Streptococcus agalactiae in milk samples from cows with mastitis.
It involves incubating milk with bromocresol purple indicator.
The formation of yellow acid-producing colonies and yellow clumps along the side of the tube indicates a positive result.
This matches the sequence: (A)-(IV), (B)-(II), (C)-(III), (D)-(I), which corresponds to Option (B).

Step 3: Final Answer:
The correct matching of diagnostic tests is represented by Option (B).
