Question

What is transmitting agent of cholera?

• A. Vibro-coma
• B. Tetanus
• C. Influenza
• D. None of these

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Cholera is an acute diarrheal disease caused by infection of the intestine. Understanding its causative agent and transmission is essential.

• Actual Causative Agent: Cholera is caused by the bacterium Vibrio cholerae (not "Vibro-coma").

• Transmission:
 

• Spreads through contaminated water and food (fecal-oral route)
• Not directly transmitted from person to person through casual contact
• Poor sanitation and hygiene are major risk factors

• Options Analysis:
 

• (A) Vibro-coma: Incorrect spelling; the correct name is Vibrio cholerae. Even if intended as Vibrio, the option is misspelled and not the standard answer format.
• (B) Tetanus: This is a different disease caused by Clostridium tetani. It causes muscle stiffness and lockjaw, not cholera.
• (C) Influenza: This is a viral respiratory disease caused by influenza virus, unrelated to cholera.

• Why (D) is Correct:
 

• None of the given options correctly name the transmitting agent of cholera.
• "Vibro-coma" is not the correct scientific name.
• Tetanus and Influenza are completely different diseases.
