Mosquitoes are a common nuisance in Algeria, particularly in Djemila, where the warm climate and abundance of water sources provide an ideal breeding ground for these pesky insects. The mosquito population tends to peak during the summer months, leading to an increased risk of mosquito-borne diseases in the area.

One of the most prevalent mosquito-borne diseases in Djemila is malaria, which is transmitted through the bites of infected mosquitoes. Other diseases such as dengue fever and West Nile virus are also a concern in the region. These diseases can cause symptoms ranging from mild to severe, and in some cases, can be life-threatening.

Efforts to control the mosquito population in Djemila include the use of insecticides, mosquito nets, and other preventative measures. Public health campaigns are also in place to educate the local population about the risks of mosquito-borne diseases and how to protect themselves from mosquito bites. Despite these efforts, the mosquito situation remains a persistent challenge in the area.
