Dengue fever

Dengue fever ( 24 Questions)

(From external source):. Which of the following is an effective measure to prevent dengue fever?


Correct Answer: B

Choice A rationale:

Using open containers to store water is not an effective measure to prevent dengue fever. Mosquitoes that transmit the dengue virus breed in standing water, so using open containers will only provide breeding sites for mosquitoes, increasing the risk of dengue transmission.

Choice B rationale:

Applying mosquito repellent while outdoors is an effective measure to prevent dengue fever. Mosquito repellents containing DEET, picaridin, or other recommended ingredients can help deter mosquitoes from biting, reducing the risk of contracting the dengue virus.

Choice C rationale:

Consuming raw seafood regularly is unrelated to preventing dengue fever. Dengue fever is transmitted by mosquitoes, not through the consumption of food.

Choice D rationale:

Staying outdoors during peak mosquito activity is not an effective measure to prevent dengue fever. Being outdoors during peak mosquito activity increases the likelihood of mosquito bites and potential transmission of the dengue virus.
