Consider the following statements regarding Mpox:
Mpox is a DNA Virus.
Fruit bats are the natural reservoir hosts of this virus.
Mpox is declared as a “public health emergency of international concern” (PHEIC) by World Health Organization (WHO).
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Correct
Ans: C
Exp:
Recently, The World Health Organization (WHO), declared mpox as a “public health emergency of international concern” (PHEIC).
Statement 1 is Correct: Mpox is a viral zoonotic disease.
Mpox is a DNA virus. The disease mpox (formerly monkeypox) is caused by the monkeypox virus (commonly abbreviated as MPXV), an enveloped double-stranded DNA virus of the Orthopoxvirus genus in the Poxviridae family.
It was first detected in humans in 1970 and is endemic to countries in central and west Africa.
Statement 2 is Incorrect: Nipah Virus spreads through fruit bats or ‘flying foxes,’ of the genus Pteropus, who are natural reservoir hosts of the Nipah and Hendra viruses.
Mpox can spread to people when they come into physical contact with an infected animal such as some species of monkeys, terrestrial rodents (such as the tree squirrel).
Physical contact can mean through bites or scratches, or during activities such as hunting, skinning, trapping, or cooking.
Statement 3 is Correct: The World Health Organization (WHO), declared mpox as a “public health emergency of international concern” (PHEIC).

Consider the following pairs :
Wetlands : States
Kazhuveli Bird Sanctuary :Kerala
Tawa Reservoir :Uttar Pradesh
Pala Wetland :Tamil Nadu
How many of the above pairs are correctly matched?
Correct
Ans: D
Exp:
Recently, the Centre declared three new Ramsar sites: Nanjarayan Bird Sanctuary and Kazhuveli Bird Sanctuary in TamilNadu, and Tawa Reservoir in Madhya Pradesh.
Pair 1 is Incorrectly matched: The Kazhuveli Bird Sanctuary, is a protected area in Villupuram district, Tamil Nadu.
The sanctuary features the brackish shallow Kaluveli lake, linked to the Bay of Bengal via the Uppukalli creek and Edayanthittu Estuary.
Kazhuveli is rich in biodiversity and is among the largest in peninsular India.
It is a crucial stopover for migratory birds, a breeding ground for resident bird species and fish, and a significant source for aquifer recharge.
Pair 2 is Incorrectly matched: The Tawa reservoir is located in Madhya Pradesh.
It is at the confluence of the Tawa and Denwa rivers.
Originating from the Mahadeo Hills, the Tawa River is the longest tributary of the Narmada River.
It lies within the Satpura Tiger Reserve, forming the western boundary of Satpura National Park and Bori Wildlife Sanctuary.
The reservoir is a crucial habitat for rare and endangered species, including birds, reptiles, and plants, and serves as an ecologically significant area within the region.
Pair 3 is incorrectly matched: Pala Wetland is the largest natural wetland in the state of Mizoram. It is one of the Ramsar Sites in India.
Its geographical location falls under the Indo-Burma biodiversity hotspot and is therefore rich in animal and plant species.
The lake is a major component of the Palak Wildlife Sanctuary and it supports the major biodiversity of the sanctuary.

Consider the following statements about Wolbachia:
Wolbachia is India’s indigenous tetravalent dengue vaccine
Wolbachia disrupts mosquito reproduction through cytoplasmic incompatibility.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Correct
Ans: B
Exp:
Reducing mosquito-borne illnesses through proven interventions has an immense potential to reduce the burden on our health systems and productivity.
About Wolbachia:
Statement 1 is Incorrect: Wolbachia is not a vaccine. It is a bacterium used in vector control programs to reduce the transmission of dengue and other diseases by infecting mosquitoes.
Wolbachia is commonly found in insects, including butterflies, bees, and beetles.
However, Wolbachia is not usually found in the Aedes aegypti mosquito, the primary species responsible for transmitting human viruses such as Zika, dengue, chikungunya and yellow fever.
DengiAll is India’s indigenous tetravalent dengue vaccine.
Statement 2 is Correct: Once introduced into mosquitoes, Wolbachia causes cytoplasmic incompatibility, which disrupts reproduction and reduces the number of viable offspring. This can lead to a decline in the mosquito population.
