Yellow fever is an acute viral fever caused by a flavivirus. It is transmitted by the bite of mosquitoes, usually the Aedes aegypti mosquito. It is characterized by a headache, chills, loss of appetite, nausea etc. Aedes aegypti, the principal mosquito vector of yellow fever and dengue viruses, is closely associated with humans and their dwellings. People not only provide the mosquitoes with blood meals but also water-holding containers in and around the home needed to complete their development. Thus, the correct answer is option A.
