Factors Influencing Mosquito Activity in Kano

Several factors influence mosquito populations in Kano, including climate, urbanization, and water sources. The city's tropical savanna climate brings seasonal rains that create stagnant water pools—prime breeding grounds for mosquitoes. Additionally, Kano's bustling markets and densely populated neighborhoods can contribute to increased mosquito-human contact. Here are key influences:

Rainfall and humidity levels
Presence of standing water near residential areas
Temperature fluctuations

Understanding these factors helps residents take preventive measures to reduce mosquito bites and related health risks.
