    Question

    Carrier of Dengue disease is–

    A.

    Aedes mosquito

    B.

    Culex mosquito

    C.

    House fly

    D.

    Anopheles mosquito

    Correct option is A


    Sol. The Aedes aegypti mosquito is the primary vector for dengue fever, a viral illness characterized by high fever, rash, and severe muscle pain. It is a day-biting mosquito that breeds in clean, stagnant water (e.g., coolers, flower pots). Controlling its breeding sites is key in dengue prevention.
    Explanation of each option:
    · (a) Aedes mosquito – Correct Answer. Also transmits Zika, chikungunya, and yellow fever. Known for its white-striped legs.
    · (b) Culex mosquito – Vector for filariasis and Japanese encephalitis, not dengue. Breeds in dirty, stagnant water.
    · (c) House fly – A mechanical vector for foodborne illnesses like typhoid and cholera, but not responsible for viral transmission like dengue.
    · (d) Anopheles mosquito – Vector for malaria, not dengue. Active mostly at night and breeds in clean, slow-moving water bodies.
