Question 77

Pediculosis corpus (body lice infestation) is caused by lice (specifically body lice, Pediculus humanus humanus). Fleas cause flea infestations, itch mites cause scabies, and rickettsia are bacteria that cause diseases like Rocky Mountain spotted fever.

Breaking down the word parts: "papillo-" relates to nipple (from Latin "papilla" meaning nipple), "-mat-" (though here "papillomato-" with "many" implied in the suffix "-osis" context? Wait, "papillomatosis" has "papillo-" (nipple-like), " -mat-" (growth), " -osis" (condition). The literal breakdown here: "papillo-" (nipple), " -mat-" (many/growths), " -osis" (condition). Acanthosis is related to spiny cells, granulomatosis to granulomas, sarcoma is a cancer type. So papillomatosis matches "nipple/many/condition" (papillo- = nipple, -mat- (many growths), -osis = condition).

Answer:

C. lice
