Question

Match the LIST-I with LIST-II 

LIST-I	LIST-II
A. Isolation	IV. Separation for the period of communicability of infected persons
B. Quarantine	II. Limitation of freedom of movements of well person exposed to communicable disease for a period of longest incubation period of the disease to prevent transmission of infection to those not exposed to infection
C. Elimination	I. Interruption in transmission of disease
D. Eradication	III. Termination of all transmission of infections by extermination of infectious agents

• A. A-IV, B-II, C-I, D-III
• B. A-II, B-IV, C-I, D-III
• C. A-IV, B-II, C-III, D-I
• D. A-II, B-IV, C-III, D-I

Hint:

The key difference between eradication and elimination is that eradication means completely wiping out a disease, while elimination focuses on controlling its transmission in a given area.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

The following definitions are used to match terms from LIST-I with their corresponding descriptions in LIST-II:

LIST-I	LIST-II
A. Isolation	IV. Separation for the period of communicability of infected persons
B. Quarantine	II. Limitation of freedom of movements of well person exposed to communicable disease for a period of longest incubation period of the disease to prevent transmission of infection to those not exposed to infection
C. Elimination	I. Interruption in transmission of disease
D. Eradication	III. Termination of all transmission of infections by extermination of infectious agents

Based on these definitions, the matches are:

• A. Isolation matches with IV: Separation of infected individuals during the communicable period.
• B. Quarantine matches with II: Restriction of movement for exposed but well individuals during the incubation period.
• C. Elimination matches with I: Interruption of disease transmission.
• D. Eradication matches with III: Complete termination of infection transmission via extermination.

Therefore, the correct matching is: A-IV, B-II, C-I, D-III.
