Question

Given below are two statements:
Statement (I): Summer sores in horses is caused by the deposition of larvae of stomach worms in existing wounds by the visiting infected flies.
Statement (II): The lesions of varying size are seen on legs, withers and sheath, and heal spontaneously in winters.
In light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

• A. Both Statement (I) and Statement (II) are true.
• B. Both Statement (I) and Statement (II) are false.
• C. Statement (I) is true but Statement (II) is false.
• D. Statement (I) is false but Statement (II) is true.

Hint:

Cutaneous habronemiasis is called "summer sores" because fly vectors are active only in the summer, and the lesions characteristically regress on their own during the cold winter months.
