(1) Anthrax:-  It is caused by a spore-forming bacterium. It mainly affects animals. Humans can become infected through contact with an infected animal or by inhaling spores.

(2) Cholera:- A bacteria disease causing severe diarrhea and dehydration usually spread in water.

(3) Plague:-  The bubonic plague is caused by the disease yersinia pestis. It can spread through contact with infected fleas.

(4) Ebola:-   A virus that causes severe bleeding, organ failure and can lead to death. The human may spread the virus to other humans through contact with bodily fluids such as blood.

  1. Lazaro Spailanzani

  2. Louis Pasteur

  3. Joseph Lister

  4. Francesco Redi
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Pasteur discovered that growing anthrax bacilli at about 42 °C made them unable to produce spores.  . His laboratory notebooks, now  show that he actually used heat and potassium dichromate similar to Toussaint's method, followed by inoculation of the tested animals with the weakened innoculum. The experiment, conducted  by him at Pouilly-le-Fort on sheep, goats and cows, was successful.

So, the correct answer is B. (Louis pasteur )

'Black death' is related with

  1. Plague

  2. Cancer

  3. Tuberculosis

  4. Measles
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

The plague disease is caused by Yersinia pestis (commonly present) in populations of fleas carried by ground rodents, including marmots, in various areas including Central Asia, Kurdistan, Western Asia, Northern India and Uganda. The 'Black Death' was one of the most devastating pandemics in human history, resulting in the deaths of an estimated 75 to 200 million people and peaking in Europe in the years 134653. Although there were several competing theories as to the etiology of the Black Death, analysis of DNA from victims in northern and southern Europe published in 2010 and 2011 indicates that the pathogen responsible was the Yersinia pestis bacterium, probably causing several forms of plague.
