Correct Answer: Visceral leishmaniasis
Solution : The correct answer is Visceral leishmaniasis.
More than 20 different Leishmania species' protozoan parasites are the cause of leishmaniases, a category of illnesses. Humans contract these parasites through the bite of an infected female phlebotomine sandfly, a tiny insect vector that is 2-3 mm long. Leishmaniases come in three primary forms: cutaneous (the most prevalent type), mucocutaneous, and visceral (commonly referred to as kala-azar, which is the most severe form of the disease).
