Horse Disease With Same Name As A Fish

[gordontrigg]

Which fish’s name in the plural can mean a cattle and horse disease?

[rsvp]

Do you have any letters (assuming this is a crossword question)?

[wolf63]

I've been checking and have been unable to find anything. It isn't a crossword but is a quiz so don't know how long word is.


If it has not been answered overnight I will try again in the morning.

We've been racking our brains here and can't think of anything except can you have a fish called a 'wobbler', but we don't think you can, so... unless it's a regional name for something?

[wolf63]

kvalidir - I had a list of fish and another of diseases and there was nothing that could be the same.

But those were the proper names and perhaps not the names that are used

[Bathsheba]

Probably way out here.....but what about fluke(s)?

[kvalidir]

You can certainly get fluke worms in horses etc and they are fish apparently.. so I reckon you might be right Bathsheba- that was nearly my name by the way when I was born ;)

I don't think Fluke would suit you, kval. ;-)

[Bathsheba]

That would've been fab name, kval ;) x x

[kvalidir]

lol @Svejk.
Yeah its a hell of a good name I reckon :)

[Svejk]

well done, bath. this was annoying me. ;)

[rsvp]

had thought of that, but the clue was 'disease' - are parasites a disease? hope gordontrigg has the correct answer though - I'm not convinced but am fully prepared to be educated!

[Bathsheba]

just realised this is in Animals + Nature...., + I've been trying for days now to prove to the Q+P peeps that I'm not totally dozy....*sigh*.....:/

This is a quiz question published in the Cardiff Western Mail on 12 June 2014. There are some vague answers but nothing seems to be unambiguously correct.

[gordontrigg]

Sorry for delay but had internet problems. Many thanks for all the help you have given me. Wobbler sounds really good but the others are also possible.

[sandyRoe]

Fluke looks good.
