Which disease is NOT commonly associated with mosquitoes?

Cholera is the disease that is not commonly associated with mosquitoes. It is an acute diarrheal illness caused by the ingestion of food or water contaminated with the bacterium Vibrio cholerae. This bacterium thrives in conditions related to poor sanitation and contaminated water supply, rather than through a vector such as mosquitoes.

In contrast, malaria, dengue, and filariasis are all diseases that mosquitoes transmit. Malaria is caused by parasites that are spread through the bites of infected Anopheles mosquitoes. Dengue fever is a viral infection transmitted primarily by Aedes mosquitoes. Filariasis is caused by parasitic worms spread by various species of mosquitoes, leading to lymphedema and other complications. Understanding the specific transmission routes of different diseases is crucial for effective prevention and control measures, particularly in military settings where field sanitation is essential.
