The study investigates how climatic factors influence mosquito populations in Mamfene, South Africa, from 2014 to 2019, using various analytical methods to determine correlations between climate and population density.
The analysis revealed positive correlations between mosquito population density and temperature, humidity, and rainfall, while wind negatively impacted density; important predictors for forecasting mosquito abundance were identified.
The findings highlight that climate variables affect mosquito distribution and suggest integrating strategies like the Sterile Insect Technique to manage populations and reduce malaria risk effectively.
