__________ (the causative agent of rhinopneumonitis) is a contagious virus that produces respiratory disease, abortion, and neonatal and neurologic disease in horses.
aspergillus spp.
streptococcus equi
equine herpesvirus
pleuropneumonia

Explanation:

For the first question, tetanus antitoxin binds to and neutralizes the tetanus toxin, preventing it from causing clinical tetanus. Tetanus toxoid is for vaccination to stimulate immunity over time, penicillin is an antibiotic not for neutralizing toxin directly, and tetanus toxin is the harmful agent itself.
For the second question, equine herpesvirus is the causative agent of rhinopneumonitis in horses causing respiratory, abortion - related and other diseases. Aspergillus spp. is a fungus, Streptococcus equi is a bacterium, and pleuropneumonia is a disease not the causative agent here.
