D) All of these
Correct Answer: D
Solution :
[d] It is true that mosquitoes themselves are immune to the viruses they transmit. This ensures that the mosquitoes, themselves survive and the virus is transmitted successfully to the target. Mosquitoes prefer warm and humid climate which ensures their survival and growth. Such type of climate is found in the most populated regions of the world in Asia, Latin America, and Africa etc. While vaccination against mosquito borne diseases such as Malaria and Dengue have not been successful, those against other mosquito borne diseases have been developed successfully.
