Final answer:
option a,The disease contracted from contaminated hides, wool, and meat is Brucellosis. Brucellosis is caused by gram-negative bacteria of the genus Brucella and is primarily transmitted to humans through the ingestion of infected animal products.
Step-by-step explanation:
The disease contracted from contaminated hides, wool, and meat is Brucellosis.
Brucellosis is caused by species in the genus Brucella, which are gram-negative facultative intracellular pathogens. These bacteria are commonly found in animals such as cattle, buffalo, dogs, swine, goats, sheep, and camels. Humans can become infected with Brucella by ingesting meat or unpasteurized dairy products from infected animals, inhaling bacteria in aerosols when handling animal products, or having direct contact with skin wounds.
Brucellosis is rare in the United States due to animal vaccinations, but it is still prevalent in other parts of the world. Most cases in the U.S. are found in individuals with extensive exposure to potentially infected animals, such as slaughterhouse workers and veterinarians.
