Factors Influencing Mosquito Activity on Malinoa Island

  • Standing water in natural pools and coconut shells
  • Dense foliage providing shelter
  • Temperature hovering around 25-30°C
Additionally, the island's proximity to the South Pacific Ocean means sea breezes can either disperse or concentrate mosquito swarms.
