Which term describes stopping disease introduction into wildlife to protect domestic animals?

• A. Cure
• B. Prevention
• C. Eradication
• D. Prediction

Answer: (B)

This question tests understanding of disease control terms in wildlife management. Stopping disease introduction into wildlife to protect domestic animals is about prevention—the actions taken to stop new infections from occurring in the first place. By preventing pathogens from entering or establishing in wildlife, you reduce the chance they will spill over to domestic animals that share habitats or resources. Cure would be treating infections after they occur, which doesn’t prevent new introductions. Eradication means completely eliminating a disease from all populations, which is broader than the described goal. Prediction involves forecasting outbreaks, not preventing introductions.
