The vector for sleeping sickness is
The vector for sleeping sickness is
- housefly
- tse tse fly
- sandfly
- fruit fly.
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
Tsetse fly. Sleeping sickness is a parasitic disease and is found in the region of sub saharan Africa. The symptoms at the early stage are fever, joint pain, itching at the site of bite and headache. If left untreated it can go to the advanced stages that have the symptoms of disruption in sleeping pattern, neurological symptoms and even coma. The diagnosis of the disease can be done by blood sample that will indicate the presence of the parasite. It can be controlled by the tsetse fly population.

Consider a water tank shown in the figure. It has one wall at \(x = L\) and can be taken to be very wide in the z direction. When filled with a liquid of surface tension \(S\) and density \( \rho \), the liquid surface makes angle \( \theta_0 \) (\( \theta_0 < < 1 \)) with the x-axis at \(x = L\). If \(y(x)\) is the height of the surface then the equation for \(y(x)\) is: (take \(g\) as the acceleration due to gravity)

- The plates of a parallel plate capacitor are separated by d. Two slabs of different dielectric constant \(K_1\) and \(K_2\) with thickness \(d/2\) and \(d/2\) respectively are inserted in the capacitor. Due to this, the capacitance becomes two times larger than when there is nothing between the plates. If \(K_1 = 1.25 K_2\), the value of \(K_2\) is :

Common Diseases in Human Beings
Any adverse variation from an organism's normal structural or functional condition is usually associated with specific signs and symptoms and distinct from physical injury.
- Acute Disease
A few diseases appear out of nowhere and persist only a few days. Acute diseases, such as the common cold, are examples of them. Acute diseases frequently become chronic if they are not treated.
Acute diseases include strep throat, fractured bones, appendicitis, influenza, pneumonia, and others.
- Symptoms and Treatments
Acute diseases develop quickly and are accompanied by unique symptoms that necessitate immediate or short-term treatment and improve once treated. Acute illnesses, such as the common cold, can sometimes go away on their own.
- Chronic Diseases
Chronic diseases are illnesses that develop over time and endure for a long time or even a lifetime. Chronic disease is defined as a disease that lasts more than three years. The symptoms are relatively modest at first.
