This study synthesizes findings from various studies to elucidate the factors influencing mosquito population dynamics and their seasonal variations, highlights the significant role of environmental factors such as temperature, rainfall, and urbanization in shaping mosquito populations, and underscores the impact of socioeconomic status on mosquito distribution in urban areas. The integration of mathematical models and empirical data provides insights into the density-dependent and density-independent processes affecting mosquito seasonality. Additionally, this study discusses the implications of diapause and other survival mechanisms on mosquito population growth. The findings emphasize the need for targeted vector control measures that consider the complex interplay of ecological and social-environmental factors.
