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

To match entries from LIST-I with those in LIST-II, we must understand the definitions provided:

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

Using these definitions, we match as follows:

• A. Isolation corresponds with IV: It refers to separating infected persons to prevent disease spread during its communicability period.
• B. Quarantine corresponds with II: It limits movement of individuals who were exposed, to see if they develop the disease during the incubation period, thereby preventing potential spread.
• C. Elimination corresponds with III: This involves stopping all infections by removing the agents responsible.
• D. Eradication corresponds with I: This is the interruption of transmission, leading to complete removal of the disease.

The correct matches therefore are: A-IV, B-II, C-III, D-I.
