High-Yield Explanation
Flight range studies suggest that most female Ae. aegypti may spend their lifetime in or around the houses where they emerge as adults and they usually fly an average of 400 metres. This means that people, rather than mosquitoes, rapidly move the virus within and between communities and places. * Different sources may have given a different distance, WHO mentions it as 400 meters Ref: Park 23rd edition Pgno : 771
