Factors Affecting Mosquito Activity in Kanikeli

Mosquito activity in Kanikeli is influenced by several environmental and human factors. The region's tropical climate, with its warm temperatures and high humidity, creates an ideal breeding ground for mosquitoes. Additionally, the rainy season from November to April increases standing water sources, such as puddles and ponds, which are breeding hotspots. Human activities, including water storage practices and proximity to mangrove forests, also play a role. Key factors include:

Seasonal rainfall patterns
Local vegetation and wetland areas
Human settlement and water management
