Answer

To solve the analogy question "Dog : Rabies : : Mosquito : ?", we need to identify the relationship between the first pair of words and apply the same relationship to the second pair.

### Step-by-Step Solution:

1. **Identify the Relationship**:
- The first pair is "Dog : Rabies".
- A dog can transmit rabies, which is a disease caused by a virus that can be spread through the bite of an infected dog.

2. **Find the Corresponding Word for Mosquito**:

- We need to find a disease that is transmitted by mosquitoes.

3. **Identify the Disease Transmitted by Mosquitoes**:
- Mosquitoes are known to transmit several diseases, one of the most common being malaria.

4. **Formulate the Final Answer**:
- Therefore, just as a dog is associated with rabies, a mosquito is associated with malaria.

5. **Conclusion**:
