A disease caused by bacteria that enter an animal's body through a puncture wound is called what?

The disease caused by bacteria that enter an animal's body through a puncture wound is indeed tetanus. This condition arises when Clostridium tetani bacteria enter the body, often through deep puncture wounds. Once inside, the bacteria can produce a toxin that affects the nervous system, leading to severe muscle stiffness and spasms, which are hallmarks of the disease.

In the context of the other options, rabies is a viral disease primarily transmitted through bites, rather than puncture wounds; botulism is caused by a different bacterium, Clostridium botulinum, and is typically related to the consumption of contaminated food rather than direct wound entry; strangles is a bacterial infection caused by Streptococcus equi, affecting the respiratory system and primarily spread through respiratory secretions, not through puncture wounds. Hence, tetanus stands out as the disease associated with a bacterial entry via puncture wounds.
