Factors Affecting Mosquito Activity in Wadi Fira

Several environmental and human factors influence mosquito activity in Wadi Fira. The region's temperature and rainfall patterns directly impact breeding sites and mosquito lifespan. Key influencers include:
  • Seasonal rains filling natural pools and wadis
  • Presence of vegetation and shaded areas
  • Human settlements near water sources
Additionally, the area's topography, with its mix of rocky plateaus and valleys, creates microhabitats favorable to different mosquito species. Understanding these factors helps locals prepare better. For example, the rainy season around the Ennedi Plateau can increase mosquito breeding grounds.
