Factors Affecting Mosquito Activity in Chimanimani

Several factors influence mosquito populations in Chimanimani National Reserve. Key elements include:

Rainfall: Heavy rains increase standing water, perfect for larvae.

Vegetation: Dense forest areas provide shelter and humidity.

Interestingly, the reserve's high elevation (over 1,800 meters) slightly moderates temperatures, which can reduce mosquito proliferation compared to lower-altitude regions.
