Factors Affecting Mosquito Activity in Roviana Lagoon

Several environmental elements influence mosquito populations in Roviana Lagoon. The tropical climate with high humidity creates ideal breeding grounds, especially in stagnant waters found in mangrove areas and coconut plantations. Additionally, the annual rainfall patterns, peaking between November and April, contribute to increased mosquito numbers.

  • Temperature fluctuations
  • Rainfall volume
  • Availability of standing water

  • Seek medical attention if fever or rash develops.
