Cyprus has seasonal mosquito activity from April through November, with peak populations during the hot summer months. The Mesaoria Plain, coastal areas, and the Akrotiri Salt Lake area have the highest mosquito density. The Troodos Mountains have lower activity.
West Nile virus is the primary mosquito-borne disease concern, with periodic circulation. Cyprus has no malaria transmission. Overall risk is low, typical of the eastern Mediterranean.
Culex pipiens is the dominant species. The warm, semi-arid climate and limited surface water concentrate mosquito breeding around irrigated areas, water features, and coastal wetlands.
