Question

How can mosquito breeding be controlled to prevent filariasis transmission?

Options

• By increasing water flow in rivers

• By eliminating stagnant water

• By planting trees near water sources

• By raising water temperature

Answer 1

Mosquito breeding can be eradicated by eliminating stagnant water, as mosquitoes breed in stagnant water bodies. This environmental management approach reduces mosquito populations and decreases transmission of filariasis in communities.
