SSC CGL GK- Science notes- Diseases & their cause

I am starting a new series for SSC aspirants. I will be providing you with GK notes from the topics from which questions are frequently asked by SSC. Here is the first post in Science notes category.

Diseases & their cause

Disease caused by Viruses:

1. Chicken pox- caused by Varicellazoster virus.
2. Small Pox- caused by Variola virus.
3. Common Cold- caused by Rhino virus.
4. AIDS (Acquired Immunono Deficiency Syndrome)- caused by Human Immuno deficiency Virus (HIV).
5. Measles- caused by Measles virus.
6. Mumps- caused by Mumps virus.
7. Rabies- caused by Rabies virus.
8. Dengue fever- caused by Dengue virus.
9. Viral encephalitis (an inflammation of the brain)- caused by rabies virus, Herpes simplex, polio virus, measles virus, and JC virus.

Disease caused by Bacteria:

1. Whooping Cough- caused by Bordetellapertussis.

2. Diphtheria- caused by Corynebacterium diphtheriae.

3. Cholera- caused by Vibrio cholerae.

4. Leprosy- caused by Mycobacterium leprae.

5. Pneumonia- caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae.

6. Tetanus- caused by Clostridium tetani.

7. Typhoid- caused by Salmonella typhi.

8. Tuberculosis- caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

9. Plague- caused by Yersinia pestis

Disease caused by Protozoans:

1. Malaria- spread by Anopheles mosquitoes. The Plasmodium parasite that causes malaria is neither a virus nor a bacteria it is a single celled parasite that multiplies in red blood cells of humans.

2. Amoebic dysentery- caused by Entamoeba histolytica.

3. Sleeping sickness- caused by Trypanosoma brucei.

4. Kala azar- caused by Leishmania donovani.

Disease caused by Worms:

1. Tapeworm- They are intestinal parasites. It cannot live live on its own. It survives within the intestine of an animal including human.

2. Filariasis- It is caused by threadlike filarial nematode worms. Most cases of filaria are caused by the parasite known as Wuchereria bancrofti.

3. Pinworm- It is caused by small, thin, white roundworm called Enterobius vermicularis.

Tomorrow, I will write an article on Diseases caused by deficiency of nutrients.
