Factors Affecting Mosquito Activity in Dilo River

Several factors influence mosquito populations around the Dilo River. The region's warm temperatures and abundant rainfall, especially during the rainy season from March to June, create perfect breeding grounds.

Key influences include:

Availability of standing water
Vegetation density
