Question 1 Report

Which of the following is transmitted through mosquito bite?
Answer Details
Filariasis is transmitted through mosquito bite. Mosquitoes that carry the microscopic worms responsible for filariasis can transmit the disease to humans when they bite to feed on blood. The worms then infect the lymphatic system, leading to swelling and blockages. The other diseases listed - typhus, plague, and schistosomiasis - are transmitted through other means, such as fleas, rodents, and contaminated water.
