Female anopheles transmits which disease
- A- Lishmaniasis.
- B- Filariasis.
- C- Amoebaiasis.
- D- Malaria.
The correct answer is D- Malaria.
While other mosquito species can transmit various diseases, female Anopheles mosquitoes are the primary vector for transmitting the parasitic disease malaria to humans. This makes it the most likely answer among the options presented.
Here's a breakdown of the other options:
A- Lishmaniasis:
This disease is primarily transmitted by sandflies, not mosquitoes.
B- Filariasis:
While some mosquito species (Culex and Aedes) can transmit filariasis, Anopheles mosquitoes are not known vectors of this disease.
C- Amoebiasis:
This is caused by a parasite called Entamoeba histolytica and is not transmitted by mosquitoes.
It's important to remember that while Anopheles mosquitoes are the main culprit for malaria transmission, other factors like climate, environment, and human behavior also play a significant role in the spread of this disease.
