Disease Causative Agents

• Typhoid is an enteric fever caused by the bacterium salmonella thyphi. Hence typhoid is not a fungal disease.
• Trichophyton is a genus of fungi, which includes the parasitic varieties that cause diseases such as tinea, including athlete's foot, ringworm, jock itch, and similar infections of the nail, beard, skin, and scalp.
• Microsporum is a genus of fungi that causes tinea capitis, tinea corporis, ringworm diseases.
  
• Hence Trichophyton and Microsporum cause fungal disease in Humans.
• So, the correct answer is 'Both B and C'.

• The pathogen Microsporum responsible for ringworm disease in humans belongs to the same kingdom of organisms as that of Rhizopus - a mold(a fungus that grows in the form of multicellular filaments called hyphae)because both Microsporum and Rhizophus belong to kingdom Fungi.
• So, the correct answer is 'Rhizopus - a mould'.

Fungi that break down or grow on keratin, such as that found in hair and nails, are called keratophilous or keratinophilic fungi.

• Ringworm or Dermatophytosis is a fungal infection caused by Dermatophytosis (Trichophyton and Microsporum fungi).
•  The causative agent feeds on Keratin. 
• Symptoms and Stages of a Ringworm Infection Itchy skin.,Red, scaly, or cracked skin.,A ring-shaped rash (from which ringworm gets its name), Hair loss in the affected area (if the hair was present).Hence Ringworm in humans caused by Fungi.
• So, the correct answer is 'Fungi'.
  

• Athlete's foot is a fungal infection that affects the upper layer of the skin of the foot, especially when it is warm, moist and irritated.
  
• It is caused by the fungus 'Trichophyton'.
• Trichophyton rubrum is the most common fungus that causes Athlete's foot.
• Symptoms include Itching and burning, dry skin, scaling, Inflammation, Blisters lead to cracking of the skin.
• Athlete's foot is also called as Tinea pedis, Tinea pedum, Ringworm of the foot.
• So, the correct answer is 'Tinea pedis'.

Ringworm is a contagious fungal infection caused by mould-like parasites that live on the cells in the outer layer of your skin. It can be spread from Human to human. Ringworm often spreads by direct, skin to skin contact with an infected person. It is caused by Haemophilus and Epidermophyton. Hence, Ringworms are caused by Haemophilus and Epidermophyton.] So, the correct answer is 'III and IV'.

Ringworm is a common fungal infection of the skin. Despite the name, it is not caused by a worm, but by various species of fungi.

• Ringworm is an infection of the skin caused by a fungal infection. Ring worm is characterised by the ring shaped rashes on the skin, itching, yellowing or decolouration of the affected area. It may also result in hair loss, if it infects the areas covered by hair. It is spread through skin contact with infected person.
  
• Filaria is caused by a roundworm Wuchereria bancrofti while Typhoid fever is due to bacterial infection caused by Salmonella Typhi

Athelete's foot is caused by a fungi known as Tinea pedi. The fungus can be caught by contact with an infected person or by contact with contaminated surface. So, the correct option is 'Tinea pedis'.

Ringworm (tines) is a fungal infection of the skin, the scalp, or the-nails. Ringworm is caused by the dermatophyte fungi-species of Microsporum, and Epidermophyton and also affects animals, a source of infection for humans.

 Poultry fowls are susceptible to diseases caused by viruses (bird flu, Ranikhet), bacteria (Salmonellosis, Tuberculosis), fungi (Aspergillosis).

Hay fever or allergic rhinitis is the allergic response caused by the hypersensitivity of dust, mites, animal fur or hairs. It is characterized by the running nose, sneezing and watery, itchy eyes. Whereas enteric fever is caused by the bacteria, Skin cancer is caused by harmful radiation i.e., UV rays and Goiter is the metabolic disorder. Thus, the correct answer is option B.

Hay fever, or allergic rhinitis, is primarily triggered by the inhalation of wind-borne pollen grains from trees, grasses, and weeds, which are lightweight and easily dispersed.

Allergic rhinitis, also known as hay fever is a type of inflammation in the nose which occurs when the immune system hypersensitizes to allergens in the air. Symptoms include a runny or stuffy nose, sneezing, red, itchy, and watery eyes, and swelling around the eyes. Allergic rhinitis is typically triggered by environmental allergens such as pollen, pet hair, dust.
