In Croatia, particularly in Brijuni National Park, mosquitoes can be a common nuisance for visitors during the warmer months of the year. The presence of stagnant water in the park provides a breeding ground for mosquitoes, leading to a higher population of these pesky insects.

Mosquito-borne diseases are also a concern in Croatia, including Brijuni National Park. Diseases such as West Nile virus and Zika virus can be transmitted to humans through mosquito bites. Visitors are advised to take precautions such as wearing long sleeves and using insect repellent to reduce the risk of contracting these diseases.

The park authorities in Brijuni National Park actively work to control the mosquito population through measures such as larvicide treatments and maintaining proper drainage systems. Despite these efforts, it is important for visitors to be aware of the potential risks associated with mosquitoes and take necessary precautions to protect themselves.
