Which of the following is NOT mosquito borne disease ?

Explanation

Sleeping sickness (African Trypanosomiasis) is not a mosquito-borne disease. It is caused by protozoan parasites of the genus Trypanosoma and is transmitted to humans by the bite of the tsetse fly (Glossina species), primarily found in sub-Saharan Africa.

  • Dengue fever is a viral infection transmitted to humans through the bite of infected Aedes aegypti or Aedes albopictus mosquitoes.
  • Filariasis (specifically Lymphatic Filariasis) is caused by parasitic worms and is transmitted via various mosquito species, including Culex, Anopheles, and Aedes.
  • Malaria is caused by Plasmodium parasites, which are spread to people through the bites of infected female Anopheles mosquitoes.
