can i expect to be bitten by mosquito's in tunisia?

I would say it's a safe assumption, depending on what part of Tunisia you are visiting...\n\nClimate \n\n\n* On the coast, a Mediterranean climate with rainy winters and hot, dry summers. Maximum daily temperatures range from 14 to 33 Celsius / 57 to 91 Fahrenheit. Average annual rainfall on the coast 420 mm / 17 inches. \n\n\n* In the Atlas Mountains the average annual rainfall is 840 mm / 34 inches. \n\n\n* As you move further south, the rainfall decreases dramatically and temperatures rise, particularly in the summer on the edge of the Sahara Desert.

They eat mosquitoes a lot of times.

Arthropod-borne (arbo) virus infections ranging from mild febrile illness to hemorrhagic fever and encephaitis are identified. They incude: Nairobi tick-borne sheep disease, mosquito borne chikungunya, West Nile and jungle yelow fevers.\nChikungunya is a rare viral infection transmitted by the bite of an infected mosquito. It is characterized by a rash, fever, and severe joint pain (arthralgias) that usually lasts for three to seven days. Because of its effect on the joints, Chikungunya has been classified among the Arthritic Viruses. It primarily occurs in tropical areas of the world.\nPlease see the webpage for more details on Chikungunya.

Mosquitoes can transmit blood born illnesses like yellow fever, so it is wise to be careful but from the government aids fact sheet:  http://www.cdc.gov/hiv/pubs/facts/transmission.htm\n\nSome people fear that HIV might be transmitted in other ways; however, no scientific evidence to support any of these fears has been found. If HIV were being transmitted through other routes (such as through air, water, or insects), the pattern of reported AIDS cases would be much different from what has been observed. For example, if mosquitoes could transmit HIV infection, many more young children and preadolescents would have been diagnosed with AIDS.

Why do mosquitoes seem to bite some people, but not others? This phenomenon is not completely understood. Mosquitoes are attracted by the carbon dioxide that we - and other animals - exhale. They may also be attracted by various odors - perfume, perspiration, lactic acid, detergents - that combine in unique ways to make one victim more attractive than another as a meal. Because dark colors absorb heat and lighter colors tend to reflect heat, mosquitoes also tend to be more attracted to victims dressed in darker clothes. Also, some people react more violently to the bites than others and only appear to be bitten more often.

What an interesting question.  I would say no for a couple of reasons.\n\n#1) Mosquitoes are attracted to carbon dioxide (CO2) which comes when an animal exhales.  They can sense it from quite the distance and this is how they home in on you.  \n\n#2) If mosquitoes were attracted to the warmth, we would see them on freshly killed animals.  This is not the case.  \n\n#3) The final reason I can come up with is the fact that without any circulation, the mosquito would have no luck getting any blood when its mouthparts slipped through the skin.\n\nOf course, I am only using my experience to justify these answers.  Let's do a test!!

Bed bugs ( Cimex lectularius) can possibly transmit Hepatitis B.

Challenges are placed in our paths...mosquitoes probably fall in the same category

all over. this is a good site for info \nIt seemed to have started in New York. but the Southern states do have it worse becasue they do not have the harsh winters to kill of the Mosquitoes\nhttp://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/dvbid/westnile/surv&control.htm

depending on where you  live there might be a ton of mosquitos or that you ate a banana .. they are attracted to people who have just eaten a banana

A mosquito bite is a transmission by direct contact, eating is an indirect form of transmission.

My father had malaria when he was living in Africa. And as far as I know he has malaria once in a while, even though it is 30 years later.\nThis disease is transmitted to humans by a mosquito bite. He has bronchitis once in a while, and it is in these periods that the malaria manifests, because body defences are low and susceptible to diseases. Now he knows how to treat it, but sometimes it is quite severe: headaches, severe temperature, chills, vomiting, etc.\nYou can prevent malaria by taking for example quinine doses everyday, but it cannot guarantee that you won't catch it, another way to avoid it, is to use insect nets, and stay away from mosquito areas at dusk and night. Because that's the time of the day, that mosquitoes look for human blood as it has proteins essential for their reproduction system (most people think they feed on our blood, but that is not true. Only female mosquitoes bite and it is a reproduction thing. If they fed on our blood male mosquitoes would bite as well)\nThis disease will never go away. When the mosquito bites, its saliva goes straight to the liver. Time from time parasites will be release in the blood stream and infect the body with malaria. \n\nI hope I helped. At least I wrote almost everything I know about malaria and mosquitoes.

According to the CDC, there are no required vaccinations for travel to Northern Africa. Depending on your particular anticipated exposures during travel, the Hepatitis A, Hepatitis B, Rabies, and Typhoid vaccines are recommended. The CDC website is a fantastic source for traveler's health information. Here's a link: http://www.cdc.gov/travel/nafrica.htm

HIV/AIDS doesn't spread by mosquito bites. epidemiologically, the incidence of HIV infection is the highest among the sexually active age group of 15 years to 49 years. however, mosquitoes bite persons of all age groups, and if they were a means of spreading HIV, the incidence of infection would be uniformly high among all age groups. HIV does not survive or replicate inside the intestine of the mosquito, which is another reason to believe that mosquitoes cannot spread the HIV infection. mosquitoes suck the blood of the individual they bite, but they do not suck blood from one and inject into another person.

I'd confront your neighbors and tell them the dangers of mosquito born diseases like Equine flu and how it's spreading to and killing dogs now (see link below).\n\nIf they still won't do anything, you should call your local Health Dept as some have strict laws in the Summer to not have standing water where them dang skeeters can bread.  I live in the Southeast USA where it can get get oppressively humid, and  mosquitoes can be a real problem.

They are extremely sensitive to the carbon dioxide in exhaled breath, as well as several substances found in sweat. Some people seem to attract mosquitoes more than others. Empirical studies of mosquito bites suggest that the risk of being bitten follows an approximately negative binomial distribution. Being male, being overweight, and having type 'O' blood may increase the risk of being bitten. Mosquitoes can detect heat, so they can find warm-blooded mammals and birds very easily once they get close enough.\n\n\nand there's loads more at........
