Stagnant water pools created by frequent rains
Dense vegetation providing shelter

Additionally, human activities like farming near the river can increase exposure. The river’s floodplains act as perfect breeding grounds, especially after heavy rains. Understanding these factors helps locals and visitors prepare effectively. For more insights, check out National Geographic's mosquito guide.
