QUESTION
Venereal transmission leading to abortion occurs in which of the following protozoan infection/infections?
OPTIONS
(A) Ovine Toxoplasmosis
(B) Canine Neosporosis
(C) Bovine Tritrichomonosis
(D) All of the above
ANSWER
(C) Bovine Tritrichomonosis
EXPLANATION
Bovine Tritrichomonas foetus infection is venereally transmitted and can cause early embryonic death, infertility, and abortion in cattle. Ovine toxoplasmosis is mainly acquired orally or transplacentally, and canine neosporosis is transmitted through other routes rather than by venereal transmission, so they are not the intended answer.
