Final answer:
The correct matching between Column A and Column B is as follows:
- 10. Blastomycosis - Mainly in Mississippi and Ohio River valleys
- 11. Histoplasmosis - Fungi found in bird droppings phase
- 12. Paracoccidiodomycosis - Mainly in S. America
- 13. Coccidioidomycosis - Conidia in desert soil
Step-by-step explanation:
In this question, you are given two columns, Column A and Column B. Column A contains the names of fungal infections, while Column B provides information or characteristics associated with each infection.
To match the fungal infections with their corresponding characteristics, we can go through each option:
- - Coccidioidomycosis is matched with "Conidia in desert soil" because this infection is caused by inhaling the spores (conidia) found in desert soil, particularly in regions like the southwestern United States.
- - Histoplasmosis is matched with "Fungi found in bird droppings phase" as this infection is caused by inhaling the fungal spores that grow in bird droppings and soil contaminated with them.
- - Paracoccidiodomycosis is matched with "Mainly in S. America" because this infection is mainly found in South America, particularly in countries like Brazil, Venezuela, and Colombia.
- - Blastomycosis is matched with "Mainly in Mississippi and Ohio River valleys" because this infection is more commonly seen in the areas surrounding the Mississippi and Ohio River valleys.
This arrangement aligns each fungal infection with its respective characteristic or associated region.
