Question

Match the correct relation as Anopheles to malaria
A.Plasmodium-malaria
B.Trypanosoma-kala azar
C.Giardia-diarrhoea
D.Culex-elephantiasis.

Answer 1

Malaria is a life-threatening disease caused by a protozoan parasite called Plasmodium that is transmitted to people through the bites of infected female Anopheles mosquitoes. When the infected mosquito bites another person the malaria parasites are transmitted from one person to another.

Complete answer:
Let’s discuss the question and find the correct answer
-Plasmodium falciparum is a protozoan parasite that causes an infectious disease known as malaria. At the point when a female Anopheles mosquito nibbles a tainted individual, a modest quantity of blood is taken which contains microscopic malaria parasites.So this is an incorrect option.
- Kala azar is brought about by chomps from female phlebotomine sandflies – the vector (or transmitter) of the leishmania parasite.The sand flies feed on creatures and people for blood, which they requirement for building up their eggs.So this is an incorrect option.
- Giardia disease is an intestinal contamination set apart by stomach cramps, swelling, queasiness and episodes of watery looseness of the bowels. Giardia contamination is brought about by a tiny parasite that is discovered worldwide.So this is an incorrect option.
- Culex-elephantiasis-It is an uncommon condition that is spread by mosquitoes. In the event that you have it, your arms and legs can grow and turn out to be a lot greater than they ought to be. Your sex organs and bosoms may likewise expand. The influenced skin can thicken and solidify to look something like an elephant's skin..The correct relation as Anopheles to malaria is Culex to elephantiasis because Anopheles mosquito serves as a vector for malaria and Culex mosquito serves as a vector for elephantiasis.Culex and Anopheles are yellow-ish, but you can identify them by observing their resting position.

Hence the correct option is (D)Culex-elephantiasis.

Note: The microbiota of Anopheles mosquitoes interferes with mosquito infection by Plasmodium and influences mosquito fitness, therefore influencing vectorial capacity. This natural barrier to malaria transmission has been regarded with developing interest in the last 20 years, as it might be a source of new transmission-blocking techniques.
