QUESTION

Central strategy for prevention and control of Marek’s disease is?

OPTIONS

(A) Test and slaughter
(B) Proper disposal of carcass
(C) Vaccination
(D) Chemoprophylaxis using antiviral drugs

ANSWER

(C) Vaccination

EXPLANATION

Vaccination is the central control strategy for Marek’s disease because effective vaccines administered early greatly reduce tumor development and clinical disease. Test-and-slaughter, carcass disposal alone, and antiviral chemoprophylaxis cannot provide comparable flock-level prevention.
