This question was previously asked in
CUET PG 2026 Agri-Business Management Question Paper (25-Mar-2026) (Shift 2)
The correct answer is
Hemophilus ducreyi
Chancroid Causative Agent Identified
Chancroid is a sexually transmitted infection (STI) characterized by genital ulcers.
Identifying the specific pathogen responsible is crucial for diagnosis and treatment.
Pathogen Analysis
The causative agent of Chancroid is a bacterium known as Hemophilus ducreyi.
- Option 1: Hemophilus ducreyi - This bacterium is the confirmed cause of Chancroid.
- Option 2: Treponema pallidum - This spirochete causes Syphilis, another STI with different ulcer characteristics.
- Option 3: Yersinia pestis - This bacterium is known for causing Plague, not Chancroid.
- Option 4: Francisella tularensis - This bacterium causes Tularemia, an infection typically associated with animals.
Therefore, Hemophilus ducreyi is the correct pathogenic agent responsible for Chancroid.
