Analysis of Statements on Bovine Ephemeral Fever

This question requires evaluating two statements about Bovine Ephemeral Fever (BEF), commonly known as "three-day sickness."

Evaluating Assertion (A)

Assertion (A) states that Bovine Ephemeral Fever is also called "three-day sickness." This is factually correct. The name "three-day sickness" originates from the typical duration of the fever and acute clinical signs in affected cattle, which usually lasts for approximately three days.

Evaluating Reason (R)

Reason (R) claims that the illness is named this way "Because animal dies within three days of catching infection." This statement is incorrect. While BEF is an acute disease, the mortality rate is generally low, and death within three days is not the characteristic feature that gives the disease its common name. The duration of illness (fever and signs) is around three days, not necessarily the outcome of death.

Conclusion

  • Assertion (A) is correct.
  • Reason (R) is incorrect.

Therefore, the most appropriate answer is that Assertion (A) is correct, but Reason (R) is not correct.
