Disease Causative Agents

In acute cases, Anthrax causes increased resoiration accompanied by blood mixed foamy discharge from the natural orifices like mouth, nose and anus.

Rinderpest is a cattle plague disease that affects only animals.

Ringworm is a skin infection which is characterized by the formation of a ring-like a pattern in the rash. It is caused by the fungal species name Tenia. The ringworm infection can occur in different parts of the body like feet, armpits, scalp, thighs, groin, etc.

Athlete's foot and ringworm are caused by fungus. They are collectively known as tinea. Ringworm is caused by a worm known as ringworm. It is characterised by ring-like red patches on the skin.

• 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.

Ringworm is a fungal disease caused by the mold-like fungus that grows on the skin, nails, and scalp of humans. It is contagious and spreads by sharing of articles and skin contact. 

Ringworm is a fungal infection of the skin. Typically it results in red, itchy, scaly, circular each. The causative agent of ringworm is Trichophyton, Microsporum, etc.

Athlete's foot is a common fungal infection of the skin, especially between the toes. Foot and mouth disease is a viral disease affecting animals. Leukoderma (vitiligo) is a pigmentation disorder, and psoriasis is an autoimmune skin condition - neither is fungal.

Athlete's foot is a fungal infection typically caused by species of Trichophyton, often referred to as Tinea pedis. Tinea capitis affects the scalp, and Candida is a different genus.

• Tinea is the name of a group of diseases caused by a fungus.
• Types of tinea include ringworm, athlete's foot and jock itch. 
• You can get them by touching an infected person, from damp surfaces such as shower floors, or even from a pet. 
• Hence, the Causative agent of Athlete's foot disease is Tinea.
• So, the correct answer is 'Tinea'.

Athlete's foot is caused by dermatophytic fungi that thrive in warm, moist environments. It is not caused by bacteria, protozoa, or echinoderms.

Ringworm is a common fungal infection of the skin and is not due to the worm. The condition is named for the site of the body where the infection occurs. It causes a scaly, crusted rash that may appear round, red patches on the skin.
So, the correct answer is 'Fungi'

Many common skin infections are caused by different kinds of fungi like example Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis causes skin disease Therefore, (a) is the correct answer.
