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.
