Moldova, located near the Nistru River, is no stranger to mosquito infestations during the warmer months. Mosquitoes thrive in the wet and humid conditions near the river, making it a hotspot for these pesky insects.

The mosquito population in Moldova, particularly near the Nistru River, poses a significant threat to public health due to the potential spread of mosquito-borne diseases. Mosquitoes in this region are known carriers of diseases such as West Nile virus, malaria, and Zika virus, putting the local population at risk of infection.

In recent years, the authorities in Moldova have implemented various measures to control the mosquito population near the Nistru River. These include larvicide treatments, mosquito surveillance programs, and public awareness campaigns to educate people about the risks associated with mosquito-borne diseases.
