QUESTION
Drug of choice for snoring disease in bullock is?
OPTIONS
(A) Anthiomaline
(B) Albendazole
(C) Ivermectin
(D) Fenbendazole
ANSWER
(A) Anthiomaline
EXPLANATION
Anthiomaline is an antimonial compound historically used in the treatment of trypanosomiasis in cattle and is associated with the traditional treatment of “snoring disease” in bullocks, a term used for bovine surra in older veterinary literature. Albendazole, ivermectin, and fenbendazole are anthelmintics rather than specific antitrypanosomal drugs.
