WHAT THE EVIDENCE SAYS
Wet- and dry-season collections across domestic, waste-disposal, orchard and forest sites recorded major differences in mosquito assemblages. Dumpsites had high overall abundance; Culex gelidus and Culex vishnui were among dominant species, with Aedes albopictus also detected.
WHY IT MATTERS / OUR READ
Site-specific waste management and edge habitat may matter in exposure mapping, but control plans require pathogen surveillance and species-specific ecology.
CAVEATS / UNCERTAINTY
Mosquito abundance is neither infection prevalence nor transmission risk. Site coverage, season and trap method constrain comparisons.
