Question:medium

Which disease is zoonotic?

Show Hint

Brucellosis is the classic zoonotic question — test & cull is key!
  • Mastitis
  • Brucellosis
  • Foot rot
  • Bloat
Show Solution

The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

Key Concept: A zoonotic disease is one that transmits from animals to humans.

Why it's correct: Brucellosis (caused by Brucella species) spreads to humans via infected milk or contact with aborted fetal material, causing undulant fever — a classic textbook zoonosis, controlled by vaccination (S19) and pasteurization.

Why others fail: Mastitis, foot rot, and bloat are production/health issues confined to the animal itself — none of them spread to or infect humans.
