Mosquitoes are a prevalent issue in Egypt, particularly in crowded urban areas like Al-Muizz Street. The warm and humid climate provides the perfect breeding grounds for mosquitoes, leading to high populations of these pesky insects. Mosquitoes are not only a nuisance but also pose a significant health risk due to the spread of various mosquito-borne diseases.

One of the most common mosquito-borne diseases in Egypt is malaria, which is transmitted through the bites of infected female Anopheles mosquitoes. Other diseases such as dengue fever and West Nile virus are also a concern in the region. These diseases can cause a range of symptoms from mild to severe, and in some cases, can be fatal if left untreated.

Efforts to control the mosquito population in Al-Muizz Street and other areas in Egypt include the use of insecticides, mosquito nets, and environmental management to eliminate breeding sites. Public health campaigns also educate the local population on the importance of taking preventative measures such as using mosquito repellent and wearing long sleeves and pants to avoid mosquito bites.
