Cevap

Dengue is caused by a virus and transmitted primarily by the bite of an infected Aedes mosquito.
Dengue is an acute febrile viral disease caused by the dengue virus, belonging to the genus Flavivirus. It is transmitted to humans through the bites of infected female mosquitoes, predominantly Aedes aegypti.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the biological nature of the pathogen and the vector mentioned in the stem.
The target disease requires a viral pathogen and transmission via an Aedes mosquito vector.
Different human infectious diseases are distinguished by their specific pathogen types (virus, bacterium, protozoan) and modes of transmission.
2
Evaluate Dengue against these criteria.
Dengue is caused by an RNA virus of the Flaviviridae family and transmitted by infected female Aedes mosquitoes (Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus).
This matches both criteria specified in the question.
