Explanation:

• Question 28: Rubella is a viral disease. German measles is another name for rubella. Shingles is caused by the varicella - zoster virus (reactivation), herpes zoster is the same as shingles, and 9 - day measles is not a common synonym for rubella.
• Question 29: Ringworm (tinea) is a fungal infection. It is not caused by a skin worm (it's a misnomer as it's fungal), not by an itch mite (scabies is caused by mites), and not by bacteria.
• Question 30: Tularemia is also known as rabbit fever or deer - fly fever. Ringworm is a fungal skin infection, aspergillosis is a fungal infection (usually in the lungs etc. depending on the type), and dracunculiasis is caused by a parasitic worm (Guinea worm).

Answer:

• Question 28: German measles
• Question 29: fungus
• Question 30: tularemia
