Suriname has year-round mosquito activity, with peak risk during the rainy seasons from April through August and December through February. The interior rainforest, the coastal Paramaribo area, and gold-mining regions carry the highest risk.
Dengue fever is present at low levels. Malaria (P. falciparum and P. vivax) persists in the interior, particularly in mining areas. Chikungunya, Zika, and yellow fever are also present. The small population means case counts are low, but risk to travelers in the interior is real.
Aedes aegypti is the main vector in Paramaribo and coastal towns. Anopheles darlingi transmits malaria in the forested interior. Travelers to mining and rainforest areas face the highest exposure.
