Solution
The correct option is D A, B, C and D
Cholera is an acute, diarrhoeal illness caused by infection of the intestine with the bacterium Vibrio cholerae. Tuberculosis, or TB, is an infectious bacterial disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, which most commonly affects the lungs. Typhoid fever is a symptomatic bacterial infection due to Salmonella typhi. Polio (poliomyelitis) is a highly infectious disease caused by poliovirus. It invades the nervous system and can cause irreversible paralysis in a matter of hours. Rabies is a zoonotic disease caused by the rabies virus of the genus Lyssavirus. Chickenpox, also known as varicella, is a highly contagious disease caused by the infection with varicella zoster virus. Contaminated food and water are common causes of acute diarrhoea. Some of the infectious agents known to cause diarrhoea include: viruses – such as calicivirus, adenovirus and rotavirus; bacteria – such as E. coli, Campylobacter, V. cholerae, Shigella, Salmonella and Staphylococcus aureus; parasites – such as Giardia lamblia, Cryptosporidium parvum and tapeworm. Ascariasis is a disease caused by the parasitic roundworm Ascaris lumbricoides. Filariasis is a parasitic disease caused by an infection with roundworms of the Filarioidea type. Therefore, the correct answer is option D.
