Question

Match List-I with List-II

List-I (Diagnostic test)	List-II (Disease)
(A) Bachman test	(I) Toxoplasmosis
(B) TORCH	(II) Bovine trichomoniasis
(C) INPOUCH\textsuperscript{\textregistered TF	(III) Leishmaniasis
(D) Montenegro test	(IV) Trichinosis

• (A) - (I), (B) - (II), (C) - (III), (D) - (IV)
• (A) - (IV), (B) - (I), (C) - (II), (D) - (III)
• (A) - (III), (B) - (IV), (C) - (II), (D) - (I)
• (A) - (III), (B) - (IV), (C) - (I), (D) - (II)

Hint:

The "TF" in INPOUCH\textsuperscript{\textregistered} TF stands for Tritrichomonas foetus, which immediately links it to Bovine Trichomoniasis (C matches II).

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Understanding the Concept:
This matching question tests your knowledge of specific immunological and diagnostic tests used in veterinary and medical parasitology.
Detailed Explanation:
Let us match the diagnostic tests with their respective diseases:
- (A) Bachman test: An intradermal skin test used for the diagnosis of (IV) Trichinosis (infection with the nematode Trichinella spiralis).
- (B) TORCH: An acronym for a panel of tests used to screen pregnant animals/humans for infections that can cause congenital defects. The "T" in TORCH stands for (I) Toxoplasmosis.
- (C) INPOUCH\textsuperscript{\textregistered TF:} A commercial culture system specifically designed for the detection of Tritrichomonas foetus, the causative agent of (II) Bovine trichomoniasis.
- (D) Montenegro test: Also known as the Leishmanin skin test, this intradermal test is used to detect delayed-type hypersensitivity in patients with (III) Leishmaniasis.
This yields the matched sequence:
\[ \text{(A) - (IV), (B) - (I), (C) - (II), (D) - (III)} \]

Step 2: Final Answer:
The correct matching sequence corresponds to Option (B).
