Palestine has seasonal mosquito activity from May through October, with peak risk during the summer months. The Jordan Valley and lower-lying areas carry more mosquito exposure than the highland areas. Urban environments with poor drainage and water infrastructure can support breeding.
West Nile virus is the primary mosquito-borne disease concern, at low levels. There is no malaria transmission. Overall mosquito-borne disease risk is low, similar to the broader eastern Mediterranean profile.
Culex pipiens is the dominant mosquito species. The semi-arid Mediterranean climate naturally limits mosquito breeding to the warmer months and areas with standing water.
