Mosquitoes are a prevalent issue in Guyana, particularly in areas like St. Cuthbert's Mission. The warm and humid climate provides the perfect breeding ground for these pesky insects. Mosquitoes are not only a nuisance but also pose a significant health risk as they are carriers of various diseases.

Diseases such as malaria, dengue fever, and Zika virus are commonly transmitted by mosquitoes in this region. These diseases can have serious consequences for the health of the local population.
