Mosquitoes are a common nuisance in Afghanistan, particularly during the warmer months. The country's diverse landscape, with both urban areas and rural regions, provides ample breeding grounds for these pesky insects. Mosquito populations tend to peak during the spring and summer months, leading to an increase in mosquito-borne diseases.

Mosquito-borne diseases are a significant concern in Afghanistan, with malaria being one of the most prevalent. Other diseases transmitted by mosquitoes in the country include dengue fever and chikungunya. These diseases can have serious health implications for those infected, making mosquito control measures essential in Afghanistan.

The National Museum of Afghanistan plays a crucial role in educating the public about the importance of mosquito control and prevention of mosquito-borne diseases. Through exhibits and educational programs, the museum raises awareness about the risks associated with mosquitoes and provides information on how to protect oneself from mosquito bites.
