Q.1

Veterinary Microbiology- ICAR JRF/SRF 2024 (Q.93)

Statement Based +4 −1

Given below are two statements

Statement (I) : Live-attenuated bluetongue vaccine viruses propagated in embryonated eggs can not cause fetal infection and associated developmental defects or losses

Statement (II) : Whatever losses are seen in the lambs due to use of this egg-passaged live-attenuated bluetongue vaccine in sheep, occur only temporarily in the lambs, due to release of virus in the milk during early stage of lactation of sheep

In light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below.

Both Statement (|) and Statement (II) are true. Both Statement (I) and Statement (II) are false. Statement (I) is true but Statement (II) is false. Statement (I) is false but Statement ({I) is true.
