Assessing the ecological patterns of Aedes aegypti in areas with high arboviral risks in the large city of Abidjan, Cote d'Ivoire.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The city of Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire has increasingly faced multiple outbreaks of Aedes mosquito-borne arboviral diseases (e.g., dengue (DEN) and yellow fever (YF)) during the recent years, 2017-2024. Thus, we assessed and compared Aedes aegypti larval and adult population dynamics and Stegomyia indices in four urbanized areas with differential arboviral incidences in Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire.

Methods

From August 2019 to July 2020, we sampled Aedes mosquito immatures (larvae and pupae), adults and breeding habitats in Anono and Gbagba with high arboviral incidences and Ayakro and Entente with low arboviral incidences in the Abidjan city, using standardized methods. Sampling was conducted in the peridomestic and domestic (indoors and outdoors) premises during short dry
