(A) To control the spread of viral diseases caused by mosquitoes
(B) For making packing material from crop residue
(C) To produce biodegradable plastics
(D) To produce biochar by thermochemical conversion of biomass.
Answer: (A)
Explanation: The ‘Wolbachia method’ is used to control the spread of viral diseases caused by mosquitoes. When Aedes aegypti mosquitoes carry Wolbachia, the bacteria compete with viruses such as dengue, Zika, chikungunya and yellow fever.
This makes it harder for the virus to reproduce inside mosquitoes and mosquitoes are less likely to spread the virus from one person to another. This means that when Aedes aegypti mosquitoes carry natural Wolbachia bacteria, transmission of viruses such as dengue, Zika, chikungunya and yellow fever is reduced.
