that are transmitted by vectors.
● The burden of these diseases is highest in tropical and subtropical areas, and they
disproportionately affect the poorest populations

than 700 000 deaths annually. They can be caused by either parasites, bacteria or viruses.
● Aedes mosquitoes are known to transmit dengue virus, yellow fever virus, chikungunya

Encephalitis virus, and is capable of transmitting West Nile virus. Hence statements 1,2
and 3 are correct.
● Malaria is a parasitic infection transmitted by Anopheline mosquitoes. Hence
statement 4 is correct.
● Other viral diseases transmitted by vectors include Japanese encephalitis ( transmitted by
mosquitoes), tick-borne encephalitis (transmitted by ticks).
● Many vector-borne diseases are preventable, through protective measures, and community
mobilization.
