Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The disease described is tuberculosis, which is a bacterial infection that primarily affects the lungs. It is spread through the air when an infected person coughs or sneezes. The fact that it is deadly and apparently incurable, as well as the need for permanent isolation of victims, point to tuberculosis as the correct answer. Influenza, avian bird flu, and malaria are all caused by different pathogens and do not require isolation for control. HIV is viral and can be managed with antiretroviral therapy, and does not require permanent isolation.
