Mosquitoes are a common nuisance in Eritrea, particularly in the region of Teseney. The warm and humid climate provides the perfect breeding grounds for these pesky insects. Residents of Teseney often have to take extra precautions to avoid mosquito bites, such as using mosquito nets or insect repellent.

In addition to being a nuisance, mosquitoes in Teseney also pose a serious health threat. Mosquito-borne diseases such as malaria, dengue fever, and chikungunya are prevalent in the region. These diseases can be debilitating and even fatal if not treated promptly.

Efforts to control the mosquito population in Teseney include fogging, draining standing water, and community education on prevention methods. However, due to limited resources and infrastructure, mosquito control efforts in Eritrea can be challenging.
