Which one or more of the following is/are not an example of a zoonotic disease(s)?
Show Hint
- Ebola
- HIV-AIDS
- Lyme disease
- Poliomyelitis
The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
Zoonotic diseases are those that are transmitted from animals to humans. These diseases are caused by pathogens such as bacteria, viruses, or parasites that are primarily found in animals but can also infect humans.
Step 2: Evaluating the options.
- (A) Ebola: Ebola is a viral disease that can be transmitted to humans from animals, primarily through direct contact with infected animals. It is a zoonotic disease.
- (B) HIV-AIDS: HIV is a viral disease that primarily affects humans, but it is thought to have originated from primates and is not considered a zoonotic disease in its current form.
- (C) Lyme disease: Lyme disease is caused by bacteria transmitted by ticks that feed on animals and then infect humans. It is a zoonotic disease.
- (D) Poliomyelitis: Poliomyelitis (polio) is a viral disease that affects humans, but it is not transmitted from animals to humans. It is not a zoonotic disease.
Step 3: Conclusion.
The correct answer is (A) Ebola, (B) HIV-AIDS, (C) Lyme disease, as these are zoonotic diseases caused by transmission from animals to humans. Poliomyelitis, however, is not a zoonotic disease.
