Togo has year-round mosquito activity in the south, with peak risk during the rainy seasons from March through July and September through November. The entire country carries malaria risk, with the coastal zone around Lome and the forested southwest having the highest burden.
Malaria (P. falciparum and P. vivax) is the primary concern. Yellow fever is endemic. Dengue fever has been reported at low levels. The relatively small and densely populated country means risk is broadly distributed.
Anopheles gambiae is the dominant malaria vector. Aedes aegypti transmits dengue and yellow fever. The bimodal rainy season in the south creates two annual peaks of elevated transmission.
