  1. Fish

  2. Cattle

  3. Poultry

  4. None of the above

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Viral diseases are severe infectious diseases which spread rapidly from one person to the other. Pancreatic necrosis (IPN) is a viral disease which occurs in salmon fish. It is mainly caused due to the premature killing of the cells in the living tissues.

Viral haemorrhagic septicemia (VHS) is a deadly infectious fish disease caused by the viral hemorrhagic septicemia virus. It afflicts over 50 species of freshwater and marine fish in several parts of the northern hemisphere.
Therefore, the correct answer is option A.

Chronic disease means it

  1. Lasts for a long time

  2. Occurs from the time of birth

  3. Lasts for a short time

  4. Both B and C

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

A chronic condition is a condition where the metabolism of the body is severely disturbed and it last for longer duration. Common chronic diseases include arthritis, asthma, cancer, COPD, diabetes and viral diseases such as hepatitis C and HIV/AIDS.

Therefore, the correct answer is option A.

Which is the most fast spreading disease?

zoology our health harmful microorganism for humans microbes and diseases categories of diseases

  1. Malaria

  2. Plague

  3. Poliomyelitis

  4. Leprosy

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:
Plague is mainly caused by bacteria Yersinia pestis which is a  chronic bacterial infection. Rodents, are the carrier of the disease. It is spread by their fleas. People can get plague when they are bitten by a flea that carries the plague bacteria from an infected rodent. Plague lung infection is called pneumonic plague. It is spread from person-to-person. When someone with pneumonic plague coughs, tiny droplets carrying the bacteria move through the air. Anyone who breathes in these particles may catch the disease. An epidemic can be started this way.
Therefore, the correct answer is option B.

What is an epidemic disease?

zoology our health harmful microorganism for humans microbes and diseases categories of diseases

  1. A global outbreak of disease

  2. A disease that occurs suddenly and spreads rapidly to many people

  3. A disease that occurs only occasionally and at unpredictable intervals

  4. A disease with clinically distinct symptoms whose incidence has increased, particularly over

    the last two decades

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Explanation: An epidemic occurs when an infectious disease spreads rapidly among too many people.

Heat stroke is primarily caused by

zoology our health harmful microorganism for humans microbes and diseases categories of diseases

  1. Excessive heat production

  2. The inability to sweat

  3. Conductive heat gain

  4. Inability to lose heat by radiation

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:
Heat stroke is caused by the overheating of the body due to prolonged exposure to high temperature. Heat is exchanged with the environment in four ways such as conduction, convection, radiation, and evaporation. Conduction refers to heat loss through direct contact with a cooler object. Convection is the dissipation of heat when relatively cool air passes over exposed skin. Radiation is the release of heat from the body directly into the environment. Evaporation through perspiration is the body’s most effective method of cooling under most circumstances. 
Therefore, the correct answer is option D.

Which part of the human body is first adversely affected by nuclear radiation?

zoology our health harmful microorganism for humans microbes and diseases categories of diseases

  1. Eyes

  2. Lungs

  3. Skin

  4. Bone marrow

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:
On exposure to radiation burns the skin first and then other biological tissue. The radiation can be ultraviolet light and ionizing radiation that causes sunburn. High exposure to X-rays during diagnostic medical imaging or radiotherapy can also result in radiation burns. As the ionizing radiation interacts with cells within the body damaging them, the body responds to this damage, resulting in erythema i.e., redness around the damaged area. Radiation burns are often associated with radiation-induced cancer due to the ability of ionizing radiation to interact with and damage DNA, occasionally inducing a cell to become cancerous.
Therefore, the correct answer is option C.

What causes communicable diseases?

  1. Spoiled food item

  2. Unsanitary conditions

  3. Pathogens

  4. Dirty objects

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Explanation: Communicable diseases are caused by pathogens passed from one human to another. Pathogenic organisms are of five main types: viruses, bacteria, fungi, protozoa, and worms.

What is a communicable disease?

zoology our health harmful microorganism for humans microbes and diseases categories of diseases

  1. It is a disease that can be spread to others and is contagious.

  2. It is a disease that cannot be spread and is caused by health habits and behaviours.

  3. It is a disease that is caused by bacteria in our environment.

  4. It is a disease that can be spread through food, animals, water, and the air.

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Explanation: Communicable diseases are caused by pathogens passed from one human to another.

Foot and mouth disease is a highly contagious disease almost exclusive to cattle, sheep, swine, goats, and other cloven-hoofed animals. It is caused by a

  1. Fungi

  2. Bacteria

  3. Protozoa

  4. Virus

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Foot-and-mouth disease or hoof-and-mouth disease is an infectious and sometimes fatal viral disease that affects cloven-hoofed animals, including domestic and wild bovine. The virus causes a high fever for two or three days, followed by blisters inside the mouth and on the feet that may rupture.

Therefore, the correct answer is option D.
