Explanation
The question is asking which among the given diseases is known to be caused by a virus. Cholera is primarily caused by a bacterium called Vibrio cholerae, while malaria is known to be caused by a parasite from the Plasmodium species, which is transmitted to humans via the bite of infected mosquitoes. "Mad cow" disease, otherwise known as Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE), is not caused by a virus but by prions, which are misfolded proteins that result in brain damage. HIV/AIDS, on the other hand, is a viral acquitted immunodeficiency syndrome caused by the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV).
