Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Both relapsing fever and undulant fever are characterized by a cyclical pattern of rising and falling body temperature. Option B is not correct, as the mode of transmission is different for these diseases. Option C is not correct, as rash is a characteristic of only some febrile illnesses and is not common to both relapsing fever and undulant fever. Option D is not correct, as rodent reservoirs are associated with only certain types of relapsing fever, while undulant fever is caused by Brucella, a bacterium that infects cattle or other domesticated animals. Option E is not correct, as tetracycline is one of the treatment options for both relapsing fever and undulant fever, but it is not the only option.
