Which one of the following is not correctly matchedCulex mosquito transmits Wuchereria bancrofti, which causes filariasis (elephantiasis); correctly matched.
Aedes aegypti transmits the viruses of yellow fever (and dengue); correctly matched.
Glossina palpalis (tsetse fly) transmits Trypanosoma, which causes African sleeping sickness; correctly matched.
Anopheles culicifacies is a vector of malaria (Plasmodium). Leishmaniasis (kala-azar) is transmitted by the sandfly Phlebotomus, not by Anopheles.
So the pair that is not correctly matched is Anopheles culicifacies – Leishmaniasis.
