Zika virus ( 16 Questions)
Aedes aegypti mosquitoes are one of the primary vectors for Zika virus transmission. They are highly efficient at spreading the virus and are commonly found in tropical and subtropical regions.
Aedes albopictus mosquitoes are another significant vector for Zika virus transmission. They are widespread and can be found in both tropical and temperate regions, making them important carriers of the virus.
Anopheles mosquitoes are primarily known for transmitting malaria, not Zika virus. They are not significant vectors for Zika transmission.
Culex mosquitoes are known for transmitting diseases such as West Nile virus and Japanese encephalitis but are not major vectors for Zika virus transmission.
Anobium mosquitoes are not vectors for Zika virus transmission. They are a type of wood-boring beetle and do not play a role in spreading the virus to humans.
Choice A rationale:
Aedes aegypti mosquitoes are one of the primary vectors for Zika virus transmission. They are highly efficient at spreading the virus and are commonly found in tropical and subtropical regions.
Choice B rationale:
Aedes albopictus mosquitoes are another significant vector for Zika virus transmission. They are widespread and can be found in both tropical and temperate regions, making them important carriers of the virus.
Choice C rationale:
Anopheles mosquitoes are primarily known for transmitting malaria, not Zika virus. They are not significant vectors for Zika transmission.
Choice D rationale:
Culex mosquitoes are known for transmitting diseases such as West Nile virus and Japanese encephalitis but are not major vectors for Zika virus transmission.
Choice E rationale:
Anobium mosquitoes are not vectors for Zika virus transmission. They are a type of wood-boring beetle and do not play a role in spreading the virus to humans.
