Question

Which is showing accurate pairing:

• A. Syphilis-Treponema pallidum
• B. AIDS-Bacillus conjugalis
• C. Gonorrhoea-Leishmania denovoni
• D. Typhoid–Mycobacterium leprae

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

To determine which option shows accurate pairing, let's analyze each option with respect to general biological knowledge about diseases and their causative agents:

1. Syphilis-Treponema pallidum:
   • Syphilis is a sexually transmitted infection caused by the bacterium Treponema pallidum.
   • This pairing is correct.
2. AIDS-Bacillus conjugalis:
   • AIDS is caused by the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), not by Bacillus conjugalis.
   • This pairing is incorrect.
3. Gonorrhoea-Leishmania denovoni:
   • Gonorrhoea is a sexually transmitted disease caused by the bacterium Neisseria gonorrhoeae, not by Leishmania denovoni.
   • Leishmania species are responsible for causing Leishmaniasis, which is unrelated to gonorrhoea.
   • This pairing is incorrect.
4. Typhoid–Mycobacterium leprae:
   • Typhoid fever is caused by the bacterium Salmonella typhi, not by Mycobacterium leprae.
   • Mycobacterium leprae is the causative agent of leprosy, not typhoid.
   • This pairing is incorrect.

Therefore, the correct option is Syphilis-Treponema pallidum, which accurately pairs the disease syphilis with its causative organism.
