CUET PG 2026 Agri-Business Management Question Paper (25-Mar-2026) (Shift 2)
The correct answer is
Anthrax
Understanding the First Microorganism Disease and Vaccine
This question asks to identify the first human disease that meets two specific criteria: being conclusively proven to be caused by a microorganism, and being the first against which an effective vaccine was developed.
Anthrax: The Historical Milestone
Anthrax is the correct answer as it uniquely satisfies both conditions:
- Proof of Causation: In the 1870s, Louis Pasteur conclusively proved that Anthrax was caused by the bacterium Bacillus anthracis.
- First Effective Vaccine: Pasteur also developed the first effective vaccine against Anthrax, a significant breakthrough in preventive medicine.
While other diseases were later linked to microorganisms or had vaccines developed, Anthrax holds the distinction of being the first for both milestones.
