Matching Organisms to Disease Vectors
This question requires matching specific organisms (List I) with their corresponding disease vectors (List II).
Analyze Borrelia burgdorfei Match
Borrelia burgdorfei is the bacterium causing Lyme disease. It is transmitted by infected Ixodes ticks.
Thus, A corresponds to 4.
Analyze Dengue Match
Dengue fever is a viral illness transmitted by mosquitoes. The primary vector is the Aedes aegypti mosquito.
Thus, B corresponds to 1.
Analyze Japanese encephalitis Match
Japanese encephalitis is a viral disease spread by mosquitoes. It is commonly transmitted by Culex mosquitoes.
Thus, C corresponds to 2.
Analyze Rickettsia prowazekii Match
Rickettsia prowazekii causes epidemic typhus. It is transmitted by the human body louse, Pediculus humanis carporis.
Thus, D corresponds to 3.
Final Matching and Option Selection
The correct pairings are:
- A - 4 (Borrelia burgdorfei - Ixodes tick)
- B - 1 (Dengue - Aedes aegypti)
- C - 2 (Japanese encephalitis - Culex mosquito)
- D - 3 (Rickettsia prowazekii - Pediculus humanis carporis)
This matching is represented in the table:
| A | B | C | D |
| 4 | 1 | 2 | 3 |
This configuration matches Option 3.
