List-I | |
List-II |
| (a) | Filariasis | (i) | Haemophilus influenzae |
| (b) | Amoebiasis | (ii) | Trichophyton |
| (c) | Pneumonia | (iii) | Wuchereria bancrofti |
| (d) | Ringworm | (iv) | Entamoeba histolytica |
Choose the correct answer from the options given below.
Correct Answer :
(a) - (iii), (b) - (iv), (c) - (i), (d) - (ii)
Solution :
The correct option is (a) - (iii), (b) - (iv), (c) - (i), (d) - (ii).
To match List-I (Diseases) with List-II (Pathogens/Causative Organisms), let's examine each pair step-by-step:
(a) Filariasis: This disease is also known as Elephantiasis and is caused by the filarial roundworm Wuchereria bancrofti (as well as Wuchereria malayi). Thus, (a) matches with (iii).
(b) Amoebiasis: This is a parasitic infection of the intestines, also known as amoebic dysentery, caused by the protozoan parasite Entamoeba histolytica. Thus, (b) matches with (iv).
(c) Pneumonia: This is an infection of the lungs, commonly caused by bacteria such as Streptococcus pneumoniae and Haemophilus influenzae. Thus, (c) matches with (i).
(d) Ringworm: This is a common fungal skin infection caused by fungi belonging to genera like Trichophyton, Microsporum, and Epidermophyton. Thus, (d) matches with (ii).
Combining these findings, we get:
• (a) → (iii)
• (b) → (iv)
• (c) → (i)
• (d) → (ii)
