Factors Influencing Mosquito Activity in Kousseri

Several factors impact mosquito populations around Kousseri. The area's tropical climate, combined with seasonal rains, creates ideal breeding grounds. Key influences include:

Proximity to water bodies like the Chari and Logone Rivers
Seasonal rainfall patterns from April to October
Local vegetation density providing shelter

Additionally, urbanization near the museum has altered some habitats, sometimes reducing mosquito breeding spots but also creating stagnant water in man-made containers. Understanding these elements helps in anticipating mosquito surges. For more about local ecology, visit the Kousseri Environmental Agency.
