What Influences Mosquito Activity in Colonia Carlos Pellegrini?

  • Temperature and humidity: Warm, humid conditions from October to April boost mosquito breeding.
  • Rainfall: Heavy rains increase stagnant water, perfect for larvae development.
  • Vegetation: Dense reeds and aquatic plants offer shelter.
Additionally, human activities like irrigation and water management can alter breeding sites. Understanding these helps locals and visitors anticipate mosquito presence and take precautions. For more details, visit the Iberá Wetlands official site.
