QUESTION

Protozoa which may cause dermatitis in cattle is?

OPTIONS

(A) Babesia
(B) Theilaria
(C) Coccidia
(D) Trichomonas

ANSWER

(B) Theilaria

EXPLANATION

Theileria spp. can be associated with cutaneous lesions or dermatitis in cattle in certain infections, making Theileria the intended protozoal answer. Babesia primarily causes hemolytic disease, coccidia primarily cause intestinal or other organ-specific coccidiosis, and Trichomonas is not the intended cause of bovine dermatitis here.
