New Caledonia has seasonal mosquito activity, with peak risk during the warm, wet season from November through April. The main island of Grande Terre, particularly the east coast and the Noumea area, carries the most exposure.
Dengue fever has been reported at low levels, with occasional outbreaks linked to regional Pacific circulation. New Caledonia has no malaria transmission. The French territorial health system provides good surveillance and response capabilities.
Aedes aegypti is the primary vector. The tropical oceanic climate supports year-round mosquito presence, but the warm wet season significantly amplifies populations.
