The correct Answer is:
To determine which human parasites require a mosquito to complete their life cycle, we will analyze each of the given options step by step. ### Step 1: Analyze the first option - Ascaris Lumbricoides and Wuchereria Bancrofti - **Ascaris Lumbricoides**: This is a roundworm that causes ascariasis. It does not require a mosquito for its life cycle; it is transmitted through contaminated food and water. - **Wuchereria Bancrofti**: This is a filarial worm that causes lymphatic filariasis (elephantiasis) and requires a mosquito (specifically, the Culex mosquito) to complete its life cycle. **Conclusion**: Since Ascaris Lumbricoides does not require a mosquito, this option is incorrect. ### Step 2: Analyze the second option - Ascaris Lumbricoides and Leishmania Donovani - **Ascaris Lumbricoides**: As established, this parasite does not require a mosquito. - **Leishmania Donovani**: This parasite causes leishmaniasis and is transmitted by sandflies, not mosquitoes. **Conclusion**: Since both parasites in this option do not require a mosquito, this option is also incorrect. ### Step 3: Analyze the third option - Leishmania Donovani and Plasmodium Ovale - **Leishmania Donovani**: As noted, this does not require a mosquito. - **Plasmodium Ovale**: This is a protozoan parasite that causes malaria and requires female Anopheles mosquitoes to complete its life cycle. **Conclusion**: Since Leishmania Donovani does not require a mosquito, this option is incorrect. ### Step 4: Analyze the fourth option - Plasmodium Ovale and Wuchereria Bancrofti - **Plasmodium Ovale**: As discussed, this parasite requires a mosquito (Anopheles) for its life cycle. - **Wuchereria Bancrofti**: This parasite also requires a mosquito (Culex) for its life cycle. **Conclusion**: Both parasites in this option require a mosquito to complete their life cycle, making this the correct answer. ### Final Answer: The correct answer is **Plasmodium Ovale and Wuchereria Bancrofti**. ---
