In Eritrea, particularly in the Kudo Felasi region, the mosquito situation is a significant concern due to the presence of various species that are known to transmit dangerous diseases. Mosquitoes thrive in this area due to the warm climate and the presence of stagnant water bodies, providing ideal breeding grounds for these pests.

The most common mosquito-borne diseases in Eritrea, including Kudo Felasi, are malaria, dengue fever, and chikungunya. These diseases pose a significant health risk to the local population and can lead to severe illness or even death if not properly treated. Efforts to control mosquito populations and prevent the spread of these diseases are crucial in this region.

The government of Eritrea, in collaboration with international organizations, has been implementing various mosquito control measures such as insecticide spraying, larval control programs, and public awareness campaigns to reduce the prevalence of mosquito-borne diseases in Kudo Felasi and other regions of the country. These efforts aim to protect the health and well-being of the local communities and mitigate the impact of mosquito-borne illnesses.
