Malaysia, including Sarawak Cultural Village, is known for its tropical climate and abundant rainfall, creating ideal breeding conditions for mosquitoes. The mosquito population in this region is particularly high due to the warm and humid environment, making it a hotspot for mosquito-borne diseases.

Mosquito-borne diseases such as dengue fever, malaria, and Zika virus are prevalent in Malaysia, posing a significant health risk to residents and tourists visiting Sarawak Cultural Village. These diseases are transmitted through mosquito bites, with symptoms ranging from mild to severe, and in some cases, can be life-threatening.

The local authorities in Malaysia, including Sarawak Cultural Village, are taking measures to control the mosquito population and prevent the spread of mosquito-borne diseases. This includes regular fumigation, public awareness campaigns, and implementing preventive measures such as using mosquito repellents and wearing protective clothing.
