AI Generated Solution

The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to identify the relationship between Xenopsylla and Yersinia pestis and then find a similar relationship among the given options. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Relationship**: - Xenopsylla is a flea that acts as a vector for Yersinia pestis, which is the bacterium that causes plague. This means that Xenopsylla is responsible for transmitting the disease-causing organism to humans. 2. **Analyzing the Options**: - **Option A**: Leucina palpis to Wuchereria bancrofti - Wuchereria bancrofti is a parasitic worm that causes lymphatic filariasis, and it is transmitted by mosquitoes, not by Leucina palpis. Hence, this option is incorrect. - **Option B**: Culex to Plasmodium falciparum - Plasmodium falciparum is a protozoan that causes malaria, and it is transmitted by Anopheles mosquitoes, not Culex. Therefore, this option is also incorrect. - **Option C**: Homo sapiens to Taenia solium - Taenia solium (pork tapeworm) is transmitted to humans through the ingestion of infected pork. There is no vector involved in this transmission. Thus, this option is incorrect. - **Option D**: Phlebotomus to Leishmania donovani - Phlebotomus is a sandfly that acts as a vector for Leishmania donovani, which causes leishmaniasis. This is a similar relationship to that of Xenopsylla and Yersinia pestis. 3. **Conclusion**: - The correct answer is **Option D: Phlebotomus to Leishmania donovani**, as it maintains the same vector-pathogen relationship as Xenopsylla to Yersinia pestis. ### Final Answer: **Option D: Phlebotomus to Leishmania donovani**
