Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The West Nile virus is usually spread by infected mosquitoes, especially those that bite during dusk and dawn. Therefore, the best instruction to prevent the disease is to avoid going outside during these times and, if one must go outside, to wear clothing that covers the skin. This answer is the most appropriate because it specifically addresses how to avoid the infectious agent, which is the mosquito. The other answer choices do not apply to the prevention of West Nile virus.
