Detailed Solution

A is True. Chikungunya and dengue fever are both viral infections caused by different viruses, and they share similar symptoms, primarily characterized by high fever, myalgia (muscle pain), and joint pains in humans.

R is False. Only female Aedes aegypti mosquitoes act as vectors for the spread of both Chikungunya and dengue fever. Male mosquitoes, in general, do not feed on blood; they primarily feed on nectar. Female mosquitoes require a blood meal to obtain the necessary nutrients for egg development.
