Factors Driving Mosquito Activity in Azogues

Several environmental and climatic factors influence mosquito populations in Azogues. The city's elevation at around 2,500 meters moderates temperatures, but the nearby Andean foothills and the Guapán River basin create microhabitats favorable for mosquitoes. Key drivers include:

Seasonal rainfall increasing stagnant water sites
Temperature ranges between 15-25°C promoting breeding
Vegetation density providing shelter

Additionally, urban expansion around landmarks like the Plaza de la Independencia can inadvertently increase mosquito habitats through water accumulation in construction sites. Understanding these influences is crucial for effective mosquito control and personal protection strategies. For more insights, check the World Mosquito Program.
