Vedclass · Answer

(B) The question asks to identify the incorrect pair among the given vectors and the diseases they transmit:$1$. $Xenopsylla$ (Rat flea) is the vector for Plague $(Yersinia 	ext{ pestis})$.$2$. $Pediculus$ (Louse) is the vector for Epidemic Typhus, not Typhoid. Typhoid is caused by $Salmonella 	ext{ typhi}$ and is transmitted through contaminated food and water, not by $Pediculus$.$3$. $Culex$ is a vector for Filariasis (Wuchereria bancrofti), not Malaria. Malaria is transmitted by the female $Anopheles$ mosquito.$4$. $Stegomyia$ (formerly $Aedes$) is the vector for Yellow fever.Since both $B$ and $C$ represent incorrect pairings, in the context of standard biology MCQs, $Pediculus$ is commonly cited as the incorrect vector for Typhoid, and $Culex$ is the incorrect vector for Malaria. However, $Pediculus$ is specifically associated with Typhus, making $B$ a classic incorrect pair.
