Question

An example of water-borne disease is

• A. Scabies
• B. Influenza
• C. Trachoma
• D. Typhoid

Answer 1

The correct option is D Typhoid

• Typhoid is spread by eating or drinking food or water contaminated with faeces of an infected person. So, typhoid is a water borne disease.
• Scabies is caused by the dog bite and so it is an animal-borne disease.
• Influenza is transmitted sexually or through the blood transfusions from the diseased persons so it is not a waterborne disease.
• Trachoma is a sexually transmitted disease. Trachoma spreads through contact with discharge from the eyes or nose of the infected person.

So, the correct option is D.
