Are there mosquitoes in cape verde?

Yes, there are mosquitoes in Cape Verde. The islands are home to several species of mosquitoes, including the Aedes aegypti mosquito, which is known to transmit diseases such as dengue fever, chikungunya, and Zika virus. The Anopheles mosquito, which transmits malaria, is also present in Cape Verde, but malaria has been eliminated from the country. To reduce the risk of mosquito-borne diseases, it is recommended to use insect repellent, wear long-sleeved clothing and pants, and stay indoors during peak mosquito biting times (dawn and dusk).
