Mosquitoes at Omboto in Omuthiya Oshikoto region
The village named on had been experiencing difficulties for two years now (2011 and 2012). They normally came in the first months of the year (January,February and March), when people are busy with field works (cultivating). The mosquitoes came in a larger group and they multiply in million within a day. Bad is that, they bite both daytime and nite, daytime is even worse. They where every were on land. People used to wear rainy Jackets that give a little protection, but one can't wear for them even for three hours, because they insulate heat and give too much warm.

Was a devastating,those mosquitoes were even going in people's and animals noses, you can't even laugh, once you laugh they are in your mouth already. People used walk with a little tree branch to react on mosquitoes. Our livestock at kraals were jumping all the nites, and when they got out of kraals they start running. The incident had been reported to the government, and it had tried to distribute mosquito nets to people, immunize them and they had tried to use helicopter to spray the whole village specially at animals kraals and water places. Badly that nothing had improve.

The negative effects the incident cause. Most people had lost their livestock special goats and sheep, and productivity were too low, when people stop going in their fields.
