Question

Match List-I with List-II

List-I (Disease)	List-II (Causative agent)
(A) Espundia	(I) Seteria digitata
(B) Kumri	(II) Ehrlichia bovis
(C) Summer Bleeding	(III) Leishmania braziliensis
(D) Nopi	(IV) Parafilaria bovicola

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

Hint:

"Summer Bleeding" is caused by Parafilaria bovicola (C matches IV) and "Espundia" is caused by Leishmania braziliensis (A matches III). Matching these two points to the correct option.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Understanding the Concept:
This matching question connects classical veterinary diseases (often with regional or historical names) to their specific protozoal, rickettsial, or helminthic causative agents.
Detailed Explanation:
Let us match the diseases in List-I with their causative agents in List-II:
- (A) Espundia: This is the classical South American term for mucocutaneous leishmaniasis, which is caused by the protozoan (III) {Leishmania braziliensis.
- (B) Kumri: This is a central nervous system disease in horses (cerebrospinal nematodiasis) caused by the aberrant migration of larval stages of the nematode (I) {Setaria digitata (typically a parasite of cattle).
- (C) Summer Bleeding: This is a cutaneous filariasis of cattle characterized by bleeding skin nodules, caused by the nematode (IV) {Parafilaria bovicola.
- (D) Nopi: This refers to a rickettsial infection of cattle, also associated with spleno-medullary conditions, caused by (II) {Ehrlichia bovis.
This yields the matched sequence:
\[ \text{(A) - (III), (B) - (I), (C) - (IV), (D) - (II)} \]

Step 2: Final Answer:
The correct matching sequence corresponds to Option (C).
