Typhoid is caused by a pathogenic bacterium Salmonella typhi. Elephantiasis is caused by filarial worm Wuchereria bancrofti and W. malayi which are aschelminthes. Ringworm is caused by fungi belonging to genera Microsporum, Trichophyton and Epidermophyton. Malaria is caused by a protozoan Plasmodium.

The infectious stage of Plasmodium that enters the human body is: [2020]
Trophozoites
Sporozoites
Female gametocytes
Male gametocytes
(2)
Plasmodium enters the human body as sporozoites (infectious form) through the bite of infected female Anopheles mosquito.

Identify the correct pair representing the causative agent of typhoid fever and the confirmatory test for typhoid. [2019]
Salmonella typhi / Widal test
Plasmodium vivax / UTI test
Streptococcus pneumoniae / Widal test
Salmonella typhi / Anthrone test
(1)
Typhoid is caused by bacteria Salmonella typhi, transmitted through fecal oral route. It results in high fever, abdominal pain and frequent stools and is confirmed by Widal test.
In which disease does mosquito-transmitted pathogen cause chronic inflammation of lymphatic vessels? [2018]
Elephantiasis
Ascariasis
Ringworm disease
Amoebiasis
(1)
Elephantiasis is caused by the parasitic filarial worm, Wuchereria bancrofti which is transmitted from an infected person to a healthy person via the bite of mosquito (especially Culex). It is characterised by gross enlargement of the skin and underlying connective tissues caused by lymphatic obstruction of lymph vessels by these worms which prevent drainage of lymph from the surrounding tissues. The parts commonly affected are legs, feet, thighs but scrotum, breasts and vulva may also be involved.
Which of the following sets of diseases is caused by bacteria? [2016]
Cholera and tetanus
Typhoid and smallpox
Tetanus and mumps
Herpes and influenza
(1)
Cholera is caused by bacterium Vibrio cholerae, tetanus is caused by bacterium Clostridium tetani, typhoid is caused by bacterium Salmonella typhi; small pox is caused by Variola virus, mumps is caused by Paramyxo virus, Herpes is caused by Herpes simplex virus and influenza is caused by Orthomyxovirus.
Which of the following diseases is caused by a protozoan? [2015]
Babesiosis
Blastomycosis
Syphilis
Influenza
(1)
Babesiosis is a malaria-like parasitic disease caused by infection with Babesia, a parasitic protozoan. Babesiosis has been recognised as a disease of cattle and other domestic animals, until human forms of babesiosis had been discovered. Babesia parasites reproduce in red blood cells of mammals and cause haemolytic anaemia, quite similar to malaria. The parasite is transmitted by ticks.
