Correct Answer: Aedes


Solution : The correct option is Aedes.

Yellow fever is a mosquito-borne illness caused by the yellow fever virus. The virus spreads by the bite of an infected Aedes aegypti mosquito. Mosquitoes of the genus Aedes aegypti are widespread in tropical and subtropical locations across the world, including Africa, South America, and Southeast Asia. During the day, mosquitoes are active and spawn in standing water, such as puddles, gutters. When a person is bitten by an infected mosquito, the virus enters the individual's circulation and goes to the liver. Following that, the virus replicates in the liver, producing inflammation and damage. The virus can also infiltrate other organs, including the kidneys and the brain.
