Answer
- B American foulbrood
Explanation
American foulbrood, also called „malignant foulbrood“, is a notifiable animal disease in Germany. European foulbrood has a similar name but is not notifiable in Germany, which is why the two are easily confused. Nosemosis and chalkbrood are serious diseases too, but do not have to be reported to the authorities.
