The mosquito situation in Swaziland, particularly around Ngwenya Glass, can be quite concerning due to the presence of various mosquito species capable of transmitting dangerous diseases. Mosquitoes are prevalent in this region, especially during the rainy season when stagnant water provides ideal breeding grounds for these insects.

The most common mosquito-borne diseases in Swaziland include malaria, dengue fever, and Zika virus. These diseases pose a significant health risk to the local population and visitors alike. Malaria, in particular, remains a major public health concern in Swaziland, with transmission occurring throughout the year.

In addition to malaria, dengue fever outbreaks have been reported in Swaziland, including areas near Ngwenya Glass. Dengue fever is a viral infection transmitted by Aedes mosquitoes, which are active during the day. Symptoms of dengue fever can range from mild to severe, with potential complications such as hemorrhagic fever.
