Epidermophyton: Dry scaly lesions on nail
Wuchereria bancrofti: Chronic inflammation of lymphatic vessels of lower limb
Haemophilus influenzae: Blockage of the intestinal passage
उत्तर
Haemophilus influenzae: Blockage of the intestinal passage.
Explanation:
Entamoeba histolytica, a tiny organism that is transmitted through human faeces, causes the intestinal disease amoebiasis. Sometimes it results in diarrhoea (loose stools/poop), nausea (a sense of illness in the stomach), and weight loss, but most of the time there are no symptoms.
Ringworm is a disease caused by a variety of fungi belonging to the genera Microsporum, Trichophyton, and Epidermophyton. The primary signs and symptoms of this condition are the development of dry, scaly lesions on the scalp, nails, and skin.
A parasite condition known as elephantiasis results in significant swelling in the arms and legs. Wuchereria bancrofti, a filarial worm that spreads from person to person when a female mosquito feeds on blood, is the disease's main cause.
Meningitis (inflammation of the membranes encasing the spinal column and brain), bacteremia (infection of the blood), and pneumonia (infection of the lungs) are just a few of the illnesses caused by Haemophilus infiuenzae.
