Answer» CORRECT ANSWER is (c) Gambusia To explain I would say: For diseases such as Malaria and Elephantiasis that are transmitted through vectors, the most important MEASURE is to control or eliminate the vectors and their breeding places. Therefore, fishes like Gambusia are introduced in PONDS which feed on mosquito larvae. |
