Solution
The correct option is C
Killing of Anopheles larvae
Malaria is a mosquito- borne protozoan disease caused by Plasmodium, which upon infection affects the liver and the red blood cells. The common symptoms include recurring fever, chills, bodyache, etc. The disease is caused by an infected female Anopheles mosquito. Through the bite of this mosquito, the parasites enter the human blood via the mosquito saliva.
Anthelmintics are drugs that are used to treat infections with parasitic worms.
Culex act as vector for viruses that spread West Nile fever, St. Louis encephalitis, and Japanese encephalitis.
