ESSAYBID ANSWER

ANS: B
Knowing the reservoirs for infectious agents is important, because, in some cases, transmission can be controlled by eliminating the reservoir, such as eliminating the standing water where mosquitoes breed. The other interventions, not having events at dusk or dawn, providing bug repellent, and wearing bright colors are ways the tourists can cope with the mosquitos that are present, but they do not eliminate the breeding and presence of the mosquitos.
