Explanation / Answer

Ans :-29)Human hookworm disease is a common helminth infection that is predominantly caused by the nematode parasites Necator americanus and Ancylostoma duodenale. Hookworm infection is acquired through skin exposure to larvae in soil contaminated by human feces. Soil becomes infectious about 9 days after contamination and remains so for weeks, depending on conditions.The main cause of this disease is inadequate access to clean water, sanitation, and health education.

Ans:-30) Cysticercosis is a tissue infection caused by the young form of the pork tapeworm. People may have few or no symptoms for years. In some cases, particularly in Asia, solid lumps of between one and two centimetres may develop under the skin.[1] After months or years these lumps can become painful and swollen and then resolve.  A specific form called neurocysticercosis, which affects the brain, can cause neurological symptoms. In developing countries this is one of the most common causes of seizures.
