Toxins of organism causes peripheral nerve paralysis in cattle

Answer & Solution
Correct Answer: Option A
Toxins of organisms cause peripheral nerve paralysis in cattle known as Botulism.
It is a rare but serious illness caused by a toxin that attacks the body's nerves and causes difficulty breathing, muscle paralysis, and even death. This toxin is made by Clostridium botulinum and sometimes Clostridium butyricum and Clostridium baratii bacteria.
Botulism is an exotoxin-induced flaccid paralysis affecting animals and humans. Cattle are no exception to this peripheral neuronal paralysis. Being a bio-warfare agent and the most potent toxin known to date, botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT) plays havoc in living beings.
