B. Culex - Filariasis
C. Aedes aegypti – Yellow fever

Answer

To determine which of the following options is not correctly matched, we will analyze each option one by one:

1. **Glycina palpalis - Sleeping Sickness**:
- Glycina palpalis is indeed the scientific name for the tsetse fly, which transmits sleeping sickness caused by the parasite Trypanosoma.
- **Conclusion**: This option is correctly matched.

2. **Culex - Filariasis**:
- Culex mosquitoes are known to transmit filariasis, which is caused by the parasite Wuchereria bancrofti.
- **Conclusion**: This option is also correctly matched.

3. **Aedes aegypti - Yellow Fever**:
- Aedes aegypti is a mosquito that transmits yellow fever, which is indeed caused by the yellow fever virus.
- **Conclusion**: This option is correctly matched as well.

4. **Anopheles - Malaria**:
- Anopheles mosquitoes are responsible for transmitting malaria, which is caused by the Plasmodium parasite.
- **Conclusion**: This option is correctly matched.

5. **Leishmania - Sand Flies**:
- Leishmania is a parasite that causes leishmaniasis, and it is transmitted by sand flies.
- **Conclusion**: This option is correctly matched.

After analyzing all options, it appears that all of them are correctly matched. However, the question states that one of them is not correctly matched. Based on the video transcript, it seems that the confusion arises from the incorrect association of Anopheles with a different disease or organism.

Therefore, the answer is:
**Incorrectly Matched Option**: Anopheles - Culli Cephasis (as it should be Anopheles - Malaria).
