Question

Read the following statements and write your answer as true or false.

Polio and Plague are viral diseases.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

1. Polio: The poliovirus is a virus that can cause paralysis and can be readily prevented with the polio vaccine.
   Polio is spread through drinking contaminated water or eating contaminated food, or coming into contact with an infected individual.
   Many people infected with the poliovirus do not get sick and show no signs or symptoms. Those who do fall ill, however, develop paralysis, which can be fatal. Bed rest, pain medications, and portable ventilators are all part of the treatment plan.
2. Plague: Fleas spread this rare but dangerous bacterial illness.
   Yersinia pestis is the bacteria that causes bubonic plague. Contact with infected fleas can spread the disease.
   Swollen lymph nodes in the groin, armpit, or neck, which can be as large as chicken eggs, are one of the most common symptoms. They could be soft and warm. Fever, chills, headache, weariness, and muscle aches are among the other symptoms.
   Bubonic plague necessitates immediate hospitalization and treatment with powerful antibiotics.
3. Viral diseases: Viral illnesses are infections caused by viruses, which are a type of microbe. Viruses come in a variety of shapes and sizes and can cause a wide range of diseases. The common cold, which is caused by a viral infection of the upper respiratory tract, is the most prevalent type of viral sickness (nose and throat).

Final Answer: Given statement is False.
