• African trypanosomiasis is also known as sleeping sickness. It is an insect-borne parasitic disease of humans and other animals. It is caused by protozoa of the species Trypanosoma gambiense.
• Dumdum fever is also called kala-azar. It is a chronic, potentially fatal parasitic disease of the viscera due to infection by an agent called Leishmania donovani.
• Pneumonia is an infection in one or both of the lungs. Many germs, such as bacteria(Haemophilus influenza), viruses, and fungi, can cause pneumonia. You can also get pneumonia by inhaling a liquid or chemical.
• Parasitic castration is the strategy, by a parasite, of blocking reproduction by its host, completely or in part, to its own benefit. Example Sacculina carcini, a barnacle that makes a living as a real-life body-snatcher of crabs.
• So,the correct answer is 'a - iv , b - iii , c - ii , d - i' .
