Which Approach is Most Effective for Controlling Malaria

Question

Which approach is most effective for controlling malaria?
A) vaccination with DNA vaccines
B) vaccination with recombinant particle vaccines
C) taking measures to reduce tick populations, such as cutting tall grass
D) taking measures to reduce mosquito populations, such as draining swamps

Accepted Answer

Malaria is transmitted by infected female mosquitoes, so taking measures to reduce mosquito populations is the most effective approach for controlling the disease. This may include draining swamps, using insecticide-treated bed nets, and spraying insecticide indoors. Vaccines for malaria are still in development and are not yet widely available, and reducing tick populations is not a relevant strategy for controlling malaria.
