Georgia has seasonal mosquito activity from May through October, with peak populations during the summer months. The Colchis Lowland (western Georgia), the Black Sea coast, and the Kura River valley have the highest mosquito density. The Greater Caucasus highlands have minimal activity.
West Nile virus is the primary mosquito-borne disease concern, at low levels. Georgia eliminated malaria in the mid-20th century. Overall mosquito-borne disease risk is low.
Culex pipiens is the dominant species. The subtropical Colchis lowland and Black Sea coast support the highest populations, while the diverse topography creates significant variation in mosquito exposure across the country.
