CLEAN : At the source of the Zika virus, scientists remain vigilant

The video discusses the importance of increasing mosquito surveillance to identify species that transmit viruses and bite both animals and humans. It highlights the risk of mosquito transportation through global trade and the need for strengthened local surveillance due to virus isolation in certain areas. The video emphasizes the potential for mosquitoes to exist in reservoirs not yet affecting human populations.

What is the primary goal of increasing mosquito surveillance?

• To increase mosquito population

• To eradicate all mosquitoes

• To reduce global warming

• To identify mosquito species in the wild

How can global trade contribute to the spread of mosquito-borne diseases?

• By improving mosquito habitats

• By shipping mosquito eggs between countries

• By reducing the number of mosquitoes

• By increasing the number of flights

What is a potential consequence of mosquito eggs being transported through global trade?

• Spread of mosquito-borne diseases

• Increased biodiversity

• Decrease in mosquito population

• Improved global economy

What measures are being taken locally to address mosquito-borne viruses?

• Importing more mosquitoes

• Strengthening surveillance

• Increasing mosquito breeding

• Reducing surveillance

Where might the virus be found according to the local surveillance efforts?

• In human populations

• In wild reservoirs

• In urban areas

• In domestic animals
