Correct Answer: Sleeping sickness
Solution : The correct option is Sleeping sickness.
Sleeping sickness, commonly known as African trypanosomiasis, is not transmitted by mosquitos. It is instead transmitted to people by the bite of infected tsetse flies , which are huge, blood-feeding insects prevalent in sub-Saharan Africa. The parasite protozoa of the genus Trypanosoma cause sleeping sickness. Mosquitoes, on the other hand, are known to transmit several other diseases to humans, including malaria, dengue fever, Zika virus, and West Nile virus, among others.
