    Non persistent viruses are transmitted through 

    • Contaminants of insect mouth parts

    • Legs of insect vectors 

    • Anterior region of gut of vectors 

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Contaminants of insect mouth parts
    Explanation
    Non persistent viruses are transmitted through contaminants of insect mouth parts. This means that when an insect feeds on a plant or animal that is infected with the virus, the virus can attach to the insect's mouth parts. When the insect then feeds on another plant or animal, the virus can be transferred to the new host through the contaminated mouth parts. This type of transmission is called non persistent because the virus does not remain in the insect's body for a long time and is not passed on to future generations of insects.

    Leaf curl of tobacco is caused by 

    • Thrips

    • White fly 

    • Jassid aphid

    • Sand fly

    Correct Answer
    A. White fly 
    Explanation
    White fly is the correct answer because leaf curl of tobacco is a common symptom of white fly infestation. White flies are small, winged insects that feed on the sap of plants, including tobacco plants. They secrete a sticky substance called honeydew, which can lead to the growth of black sooty mold on the leaves. The feeding activity of white flies can cause distortion, curling, and yellowing of the leaves, which are characteristic symptoms of leaf curl in tobacco plants. Thrips, jassid aphids, and sand flies are not typically associated with leaf curl in tobacco.

    Explanation
    Typhus is a highly contagious disease caused by the bacteria Rickettsia prowazekii. It is primarily transmitted through the body louse, which acts as a vector for the bacteria. The lice infest humans and spread the bacteria through their feces, which is then scratched into the skin. Other insects like bed bugs, flies, and mosquitoes do not play a significant role in the transmission of typhus.

    Rate this question:

  • 24. 

    Rat flea transmit the disease

    • Chagas disease

    • Bubonic plaque

    • Dangue

    • Zika virus

    Correct Answer
    A. Bubonic plaque
    Explanation
    The correct answer is Bubonic plague. The bubonic plague is a deadly infectious disease caused by the bacterium Yersinia pestis. It is primarily transmitted through the bites of infected fleas that live on small mammals, such as rats. These fleas act as vectors, carrying the bacteria and transmitting it to humans when they bite. The disease can cause severe symptoms, including high fever, swollen lymph nodes, and in some cases, death. Therefore, the statement "Rat fleas transmit the disease" accurately describes the mode of transmission for the bubonic plague.

    • Plasmodium

    • Giardia

    • Verticella

    Correct Answer
    A. Trypanosoma
    Explanation
    Chagas disease is caused by a parasite called Trypanosoma. This parasite is transmitted to humans through the bite of infected triatomine bugs, also known as "kissing bugs." Once inside the body, the parasite can invade various tissues, including the heart and digestive system, leading to serious health complications. Chagas disease is primarily found in rural areas of Latin America, where poverty and inadequate housing conditions contribute to the spread of the disease. Treatment for Chagas disease is available, but it is most effective when administered in the early stages of infection.

    Rate this question:

  • 27. 

    Most useful method to control chagas disease is

    • Vector control

    • Drinking of boiled water

    • Fumigation

    • Spilling of karosene oil on water body

    Correct Answer
    A. Vector control
    Explanation
    Chagas disease is primarily transmitted by insects known as triatomine bugs or "kissing bugs." These bugs are the main vectors for the disease, as they can carry and transmit the parasite that causes Chagas disease. Therefore, the most effective method to control Chagas disease is vector control, which involves measures to reduce the population of these bugs and prevent their contact with humans. This can include insecticide spraying, improving housing conditions, and implementing public health education programs. Drinking boiled water, fumigation, and spilling kerosene oil on water bodies are not directly related to controlling the vector population and therefore not as effective in controlling Chagas disease.

    Man is dead end host in

    • Japanese encephalitis 

    • Chickengunia

    • Malaria

    • Kala azar

    Correct Answer
    A. Japanese encephalitis 
    Explanation
    Man is a dead end host in Japanese encephalitis because although humans can become infected with the virus, they do not contribute to the transmission cycle. The virus is primarily transmitted through mosquitoes, with pigs and birds serving as amplifying hosts. Humans can only become infected if they are bitten by an infected mosquito, but they cannot pass the virus on to other mosquitoes or humans. Therefore, humans are considered dead end hosts in the transmission of Japanese encephalitis.

    Man is definitive host and mosquito is intermediate host in

    • Malaria 

    • Filariasis

    • Japanese encephalitis 

    • Dangue

    Correct Answer
    A. Filariasis
    Explanation
    Filariasis is a parasitic disease caused by filarial worms. In the life cycle of filariasis, the definitive host is the human (man) and the intermediate host is the mosquito. The mosquito acts as a vector, transmitting the infective larvae of the filarial worms to humans through its bite. Once inside the human body, the larvae develop into adult worms, causing various symptoms and complications. Therefore, the given answer correctly identifies the roles of man as the definitive host and mosquito as the intermediate host in the transmission of filariasis.

    In malaria the form of plasmodium that is transmitted from mosquito to human is

    • Gametocyte

    • Merozoite

    • Hypnozoite

    • Sporozoite

    Correct Answer
    A. Sporozoite
    Explanation
    Sporozoites are the form of plasmodium that are transmitted from mosquitoes to humans in malaria. After a mosquito bites an infected human, it ingests the gametocytes of the plasmodium. These gametocytes then develop into sporozoites in the mosquito's salivary glands. When the mosquito bites another human, it injects the sporozoites into the bloodstream, where they travel to the liver and invade liver cells. From there, they multiply and develop into merozoites, which then infect red blood cells and cause the symptoms of malaria.

    Malaria is caused by an insect vector, specifically the female Anopheles mosquito. When an infected mosquito bites a person, it injects the malaria parasites into the bloodstream, leading to the disease. HIV/AIDS is caused by the human immunodeficiency virus, which is transmitted through sexual contact, blood transfusions, and sharing needles, not through insect vectors. TB (tuberculosis) is caused by bacteria and is transmitted through the air when an infected person coughs or sneezes. Syphilis is a sexually transmitted infection caused by the bacterium Treponema pallidum, not by an insect vector.

  • 44. 

    Disease carrying agent is called

    • Pathogens

    • Reservoirs 

    • Vectors 

    • Vaccine 

    Correct Answer
    A. Vectors 
    Explanation
    Vectors are disease-carrying agents that transmit pathogens from one host to another. They can be living organisms such as mosquitoes, ticks, and fleas, or non-living objects like contaminated needles. Vectors play a crucial role in the spread of diseases like malaria, dengue fever, and Lyme disease. They can pick up pathogens from an infected host and transfer them to a susceptible individual, thereby facilitating the transmission of the disease. Understanding vectors and their behavior is essential in developing effective strategies to control and prevent the spread of vector-borne diseases.

  • 45. 

    Time period between entering the pathogen into the body and appearance of symptoms is called

    • Adoption period

    • Reserve period 

    • Incubation perion

    • Infection period 

    Correct Answer
    A. Incubation perion
    Explanation
    The time period between entering the pathogen into the body and the appearance of symptoms is called the incubation period. During this period, the pathogen begins to multiply and spread within the body, but the person does not yet show any signs or symptoms of the infection. The length of the incubation period can vary depending on the specific pathogen and the individual's immune response.

    Which of the following is true about malaria

    • Sore throat and dry cough 

    • It is prevented through boiling and chlorinating of water

    • Fever and anaemia 

    • Formation of ulcers in intestine 

    Correct Answer
    A. Fever and anaemia 
    Explanation
    Fever and anaemia are true symptoms of malaria. Malaria is a mosquito-borne infectious disease caused by the Plasmodium parasite. It is characterized by recurrent fever, which is often accompanied by chills and sweating. Anaemia is a common complication of malaria, as the parasite infects and destroys red blood cells. Other symptoms of malaria can include headache, muscle aches, fatigue, and vomiting.

    • Chickengunia 

    • Dengue 

    • Chicken pox

    • Yellow fever

    Correct Answer
    A. Chicken pox
    Explanation
    Aedes aegypti is a mosquito species that is known to transmit diseases such as Chickengunia, Dengue, and Yellow fever. However, Chicken pox is not transmitted by this particular mosquito species. Chicken pox is a highly contagious viral infection that spreads through direct contact with an infected person or through respiratory droplets. It is not transmitted by mosquito bites.

    Rate this question:

  • 48. 

    Which of the following kind of organism causes malaria

    • Bacteria 

    • Fungus

    • Protozoan 

    • Virus

    Correct Answer
    A. Protozoan 
    Explanation
    Protozoan is the correct answer because malaria is caused by a type of protozoan parasite called Plasmodium. This parasite is transmitted to humans through the bite of infected female Anopheles mosquitoes. Once inside the human body, the parasites multiply in the liver and then infect red blood cells, leading to the symptoms of malaria. Neither bacteria, fungus, nor virus cause malaria, making protozoan the correct choice.

    Rate this question:

  • 49. 

    Fever headache and rashes are common symptoms of 

    • Bacillary dysentery 

    • Typhus fever

    • Chickengunia 

    • Malaria

    Correct Answer
    A. Typhus fever
    Explanation
    Fever, headache, and rashes are common symptoms of typhus fever. Typhus fever is a bacterial infection caused by the Rickettsia bacteria. It is transmitted to humans through the bites of infected fleas, lice, or ticks. The symptoms typically include high fever, severe headache, body aches, and a characteristic rash. Other symptoms may include chills, muscle pain, fatigue, and abdominal pain. If left untreated, typhus fever can lead to serious complications and even death. Therefore, it is important to seek medical attention if these symptoms are present.
