QUESTION
What is/are the common sign/s of vibriosis infection:
(a) Pyometra
(b) Abortion during first trimester of pregnancy
(c) Early embryonic death
(d) Occasional abortions from 4 months of pregnancy to term
OPTIONS
(A) Only a and b
(B) Only c and d
(C) Only a
(D) None of the above
ANSWER
(B) Only c and d
EXPLANATION
Bovine genital campylobacteriosis, historically called vibriosis, commonly causes early embryonic death and repeat breeding, with occasional abortions later in pregnancy. These features correspond to statements (c) and (d). Post-service pyometra and characteristic first-trimester abortion are more strongly associated with trichomoniasis. Thus, the combination of early embryonic death and occasional later abortion best fits the infection named.
