Factors Affecting Mosquito Activity at Lac Karihani

Mosquito populations in Lac Karihani are influenced by several environmental and human factors. The region's warm, humid climate and abundant freshwater sources, including the lake itself, create ideal breeding grounds. Additionally, the nearby mangrove forests provide shelter and humidity that mosquitoes thrive in. Here are key influences on mosquito activity:

Temperature and rainfall patterns
Availability of standing water
Vegetation density
