Mosquito-Borne Diseases in the Area

Praia Guegue, like much of Sao Tome and Principe, faces risks from mosquito-borne diseases, primarily malaria and dengue fever. Malaria is endemic, transmitted by Anopheles mosquitoes, and remains a significant health concern. Dengue outbreaks have been reported sporadically, linked to Aedes mosquitoes that breed in urban areas. Symptoms can range from mild fever to severe illness, so early detection is crucial. Protective measures such as using insecticide-treated nets and repellents are recommended. Visit the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) page on malaria for detailed guidance on prevention and treatment.
