The correct option is D Anthrax
Anthrax is a fatal
disease which commonly effects humans and cattle. It is caused by
spores of bacteria Bacillus
anthracis. These
spores remain in soil for decades and are also found in bloody
discharges of infected animals and can spread to other animals
easily.
Clinical signs
depend on species of cattle effected. If infection occurs through
mouth or nose the symptoms are shown immediately and death occurs
rapidly. If infection occurs through skin there will not be acute
symptoms but later becomes generalized. If infection is less acute
symptoms may be having difficulty in breathing, tremble, collapse and
die. Nearby death blood oozes from openings of animal. When infection
is localized to throat area, the neck swells and bloody discharge
comes from mouth.
So, the correct
answer is 'Anthrax'.
