Time patterns

When are people most likely to be bitten?

These charts describe when people report bites — a pattern shaped by mosquito activity and by people's daily routines.

Synthetic chart data

Illustrative values only; these are not H-MIP findings.

By hour of day

Bites build toward the evening

In this synthetic example, 34% of reports fall between 18:00 and 21:00.

Reported bites reflect exposure: the overlap between mosquito activity and people's routines.
