Moldova, including the Curchi Monastery, is no stranger to the mosquito problem. Mosquitoes are prevalent in the region, especially during the warmer months, making outdoor activities challenging. The abundance of stagnant water sources in the area provides ideal breeding grounds for mosquitoes, leading to a high population density in and around the monastery.

In addition to being a nuisance, mosquitoes in Moldova, Curchi Monastery included, pose a risk of transmitting various mosquito-borne diseases. Some of the common diseases spread by mosquitoes in the region include West Nile virus, malaria, and dengue fever. Visitors to the monastery are advised to take precautions such as using insect repellent and wearing long sleeves to minimize the risk of mosquito bites.

The local authorities in Moldova, including the area surrounding Curchi Monastery, have been actively working on mosquito control measures to reduce the population and mitigate the spread of diseases. These efforts include larvicide treatments in standing water bodies, mosquito surveillance programs, and public awareness campaigns on the importance of personal protection against mosquito bites.
