Why Mosquitoes Thrive in Castaway Island

Several factors influence mosquito activity on Castaway Island. The island's tropical climate, with consistent warmth and humidity, creates perfect conditions for mosquitoes to breed. Additionally, the presence of stagnant freshwater pools after rainfalls near the island's lush vegetation supports larvae development. Here are key influences:

Seasonal rainfall patterns
Temperature fluctuations
Vegetation density

Understanding these helps explain why mosquito populations surge during certain months. For instance, the island’s famous coral reefs and surrounding mangroves contribute to localized humidity. Moreover, human activity and waste management practices can inadvertently create breeding sites. Learn more about mosquito ecology at the Fiji Ministry of Health.
