Question

One of the common fungal disease of man is

• A. Cholera
• B. Plague
• C. Typhoid
• D. Ring worm

Answer 1

The correct option is D Ring worm

• Ringworm is actually a skin infection caused by fungus. No worms involved. The name “ringworm” probably comes from the rash that many people see. On the skin, the rash often has a ring-shaped pattern and a raised, scaly border that snakes its way around the edge like a worm. Ringworm is common.
• Cholera is an infectious disease that causes severe watery diarrhoea, which can lead to dehydration and even death if untreated. It is caused by eating food or drinking water contaminated with a bacterium called Vibrio cholerae.
• Typhoid fever, also known simply as typhoid, is a bacterial infection due to a specific type of Salmonella that causes symptoms.
• Plague is a disease that affects humans and other mammals. It is caused by the bacterium, Yersinia pestis. Humans usually get plague after being bitten by a rodent flea that is carrying the plague bacterium or by handling an animal infected with the plague.

So, the correct answer is 'Ringworm'.
