Which of the following diseases is NOT commonly associated with Aedes mosquitoes?

Aedes mosquitoes are primarily known for their role in the transmission of several viral diseases, including Zika virus, Dengue fever, and Chikungunya. These mosquitoes are particularly effective vectors due to their behavior of breeding in artificial containers and their aggressive daytime feeding habits.

The West Nile virus, however, is predominantly transmitted by Culex mosquitoes. While West Nile virus can affect a range of hosts including birds, horses, and humans, Aedes mosquitoes are not typically involved in its transmission. Therefore, identifying that the West Nile virus is not commonly associated with Aedes mosquitoes is important in understanding the ecological relationships and vector dynamics involved in mosquito-borne diseases. This distinction also underscores the necessity of targeting the appropriate mosquito species during control efforts for specific diseases.
