Explanation by: Mr. Dubey

 

  • Anopheles mosquitoes are primarily known for transmitting malaria (caused by Plasmodium parasites).
  • However, they are also vectors of Filariasis, which is caused by Wuchereria bancrofti and Brugia malayi (parasitic worms).
  • Dengue fever and Yellow fever are transmitted by Aedes mosquitoes.
  • Encephalitis can be transmitted by Culex mosquitoes, such as in the case of Japanese Encephalitis.
