Answer: All fingers, toes, feet, and palms are covered in small ridges. These are raised portions of the skin, arranged in connected units called dermal, or friction, ridges. They help us with our grip on objects that we touch. When these ridges press against things, they leave a mark, an impression called a fingerprint.

Diseases carried from person to person through other hosts, such as animals or insects, are known as __________ diseases.
Basile [38]

The right option is D. vector-borne

Diseases carried from person to person through other hosts, such as animals or insects, are known as vector- borne diseases.

Vector-borne diseases are infectious diseases transmitted between humans or from animals to humans through the bite of infected hosts such as animals or insects. Most of these hosts are arthropod vectors which are bloodsucking insects such as mosquitoes, ticks, triatomine bugs, sandflies, and blackflies. Examples of vector-borne diseases include West Nile fever which is transmitted through the bite of an infected Culex mosquito, Leishmaniasis which is transmitted through the bite of an infected female sandfly and Tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) which is transmitted by ticks.
