SSC CHSL - 09 March 2023 - Shift 3 • General Awareness • Q34

Which of the following diseases is not caused by a mosquito bite? 

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. Hepatitis.

Mosquitoes are responsible for spreading several diseases such as malaria, dengue, and elephantiasis, all caused by parasites or viruses transmitted through their bites. However, hepatitis is not spread by mosquitoes. It is primarily a liver infection caused by hepatitis viruses (like A, B, or C), and it spreads through contaminated food, water, blood, or bodily fluids. Unlike mosquito-borne illnesses, hepatitis requires different preventive measures, such as proper hygiene, safe food and water, and avoiding infected bodily fluids or needles.
