What Influences Mosquito Activity in Guadeloupe?

Key influencers include: - Temperature: Warmer months increase mosquito metabolism and reproduction. - Rainfall: More rain means more breeding sites. - Human activity: Tourism and local water storage practices can inadvertently support mosquito populations. Understanding these factors helps locals and visitors take proactive measures to reduce exposure to mosquitoes.
