Mosquitoes are a common nuisance in Morocco, especially in areas like Oukaïmeden where there is standing water and warm temperatures. These pesky insects can not only ruin outdoor activities but also pose a risk of transmitting diseases to humans.

In Morocco, mosquitoes are known to carry diseases such as malaria, Zika virus, and West Nile virus. This makes it crucial for residents and visitors alike to take precautions to avoid getting bitten by mosquitoes and potentially contracting these illnesses.

The government in Morocco has implemented various mosquito control measures in high-risk areas like Oukaïmeden to reduce the population of mosquitoes and prevent the spread of mosquito-borne diseases. These efforts include spraying insecticides, draining stagnant water, and raising awareness about the importance of using mosquito repellent.
