QUESTION
Kochs blue bodies are seen in?
OPTIONS
(A) Theileriosis
(B) Babesiosis
(C) Trypanosomiasis
(D) Anaplasmosis
ANSWER
(A) Theileriosis
EXPLANATION
Koch's blue bodies are characteristic structures associated with Theileria infection and represent schizont-infected lymphoblastoid cells in affected tissues. Babesiosis primarily produces intraerythrocytic piroplasms, trypanosomiasis produces extracellular blood parasites, and anaplasmosis produces erythrocytic inclusion bodies without the characteristic Koch's blue bodies. Thus, option A is correct.
