Which disease is commonly known as “break-bone fever”?

  • (a) Malaria
  • (b) Dengue fever
  • (c) Chikungunya
  • (d) Yellow fever
  • Dengue fever has been given the nickname of “break-bone fever” because of the fact that it usually causes severe pains in the muscles, joints, and bones, so severe that the bones seem to crack. This is a viral disease, which means it is transmitted from an infected mosquito to a human. The mosquito most likely to carry the virus is the Aedes aegypti mosquito.
  • Malaria: This disease is transmitted by mosquitoes, has high fevers, and aches in the body.
  • Chikungunya: This disease has severe pains in the joints. The name of the disease literally means “to walk bent,” which shows the severe joint pains.
  • Yellow Fever: This is another mosquito-borne virus. However, the only symptom of the disease is jaundice.
