Explanation:
- When mosquitoes bite, they spit saliva and viruses on the surface of the skin.
- Saliva causes inflammation and prevents the clotting of blood from that particular area, which facilitates the sucking of blood by mosquitoes.
- Viruses can easily penetrate through this inflamed site and from that site they multiply and infect the whole body.
- Such microorganisms and viruses which are spread by mosquitoes:
- Malaria is caused by protozoa (plasmodium) and spread by female anopheles mosquitoes.
- Chikungunya is caused by chikungunya virus and spread by Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus mosquitoes.
- Dengue is caused by viruses of the Flaviviridae family and spread by Aedes species of mosquitoes.
- Zika disease is caused by zika viruses and transmitted by Aedes mosquitoes.
This way, mosquitoes help in the spread of viruses and microorganisms.
