Q10 (CDS-I/2026) Science & Technology › Basic Science (Physics, Chemistry, Biology)

Which one among the following pairs of diseases and their types is not correctly matched?

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: C

Explanation

The pair in option C is incorrectly matched because Dengue fever is a viral disease, not a non-viral one. It is caused by the Dengue virus (DENV), which belongs to the Flaviviridae family and is transmitted to humans through the bite of infected Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus mosquitoes.

  • Polio: Correctly matched as a viral disease caused by the Poliovirus.
  • Athlete’s foot: Correctly matched as a fungal infection (Tinea pedis) that typically affects the skin on the feet.
  • Whooping cough (Pertussis): Correctly matched as a highly contagious respiratory tract infection caused by the bacterium Bordetella pertussis.

Therefore, since Dengue is viral, option C is the false statement among the pairs provided.
