Question

Match List I with List II 

 

• A. A-III, B-I, C-II, D-IV
• B. A-II, B-III, C-I, D-IV
• C. A-I, B-IV, C-III, D-II
• D. A-IV, B-III, C-II, D-I

Hint:

Remember:
- Khesari dal $\rightarrow$ Lathyrism (Lathyrus).
- Lantana $\rightarrow$ Hepatogenous Secondary photosensitization.
- Kaner (Oleander) $\rightarrow$ Cardiac glycosides (Cardiotoxic).

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Understanding the Concept:
Veterinary toxicology involves the study of toxic plants that contain specific poisonous principles capable of causing specific systemic diseases in livestock.

Step 2: Detailed Explanation:
Let us correlate each toxic plant from List I with its clinical toxic syndrome in List II:
- A. Khesari dal (Lathyrus sativus): Contains the neurotoxin ODAP (beta-N-oxalyl-L-alpha,beta-diaminopropionic acid), which causes a paralytic neurolathyrism syndrome known as Lathyrism.
Thus, A matches with II.
- B. Elephant grass (Pennisetum purpureum): Accumulates high concentrations of soluble oxalates, leading to acute hypocalcemia or renal damage in grazing livestock.
Thus, B matches with III.
- C. Lantana (Lantana camara): Contains pentacyclic triterpenoids (lantadenes) that cause intrahepatic cholestasis and liver damage, leading to the accumulation of phylloerythrin and causing secondary photosensitization.
Thus, C matches with I.
- D. Kaner (Nerium oleander): Contains highly potent cardiac glycosides (such as oleandrin), which are highly cardiotoxic to all animal species.
Thus, D matches with IV.

Step 3: Final Answer:
Matching these pairs gives: A-II, B-III, C-I, D-IV, which is option (B).
