Which of the following pairs is INCORRECTLY matched?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. Ancylostoma - Pinworm.
The incorrectly matched pair is Ancylostoma - Pinworm. Ancylostoma is actually a genus of hookworms, not pinworms. Pinworms are caused by the genus Enterobius, with Enterobius vermicularis being the most common pinworm species. The correct pairs are: Wuchereria - Filaria worm, Taenia - Tapeworm, and Ascaris - Roundworm. Each of these matches the correct type of parasitic worm associated with the genus.
