Question

Name the causative organism and preventive measures for each of the following.
A)Swine flu
B)Typhoid
C)Filariasis
D)Syphilis

Answer 1

The term disease causative agent generally refers to a biological pathogen, such as a virus, parasite, fungus, or bacterium, that causes a disease. The word may also, literally, apply to a poison or radioactive chemical that induces disease.

Complete answer:
The swine influenza virus is the causative organism for swine flu (H1N1). The prevention steps that should be taken are vaccines against H1N1. Often useful in the prevention and control of the disease is the application of paracetamol and anti-viral medications.

The typhoid causative agent is Salmonella typhi. The virus is also known as typhoid fever or enteritis. Vaccination, good sanitary conditions to avoid the transmission of bacteria, the use of boiling water, the protection of eatables from files and the administration of medications are protective steps.

Wuchereria bancrofti is the causative organism for filariasis. Vector management and chemotherapy are the prevention steps. Mass drug administration is a standard prevention measure.
Treponema pallidum is the causative organism for syphilis. The infection is a form of infection that is bacterial. Because of touch during sex, the disease spreads. Prevention steps include hygienic maintenance, the avoidance of multiple partners, the use of antibiotics such as penicillin, tetracycline, erythromycin, etc.

Note: It is crucial to determine the causative agent as quickly as possible to avoid misdiagnosis, needless medication, discomfort and potentially increased healthcare costs when a patient has a known infection or signs indicative of an infection
