Intense malarial transmission during the dry season in irrigated rice-growing areas: a case study in Sakassou, Côte d'Ivoire.

The health district of Sakassou is one of the 83 health districts in Côte d'Ivoire, located in a zone with very high malarial transmission rates, with an incidence rate of ≥40% Therefore, to guide vector control methods more effectively, it was crucial to have a good understanding of the vectors in the area. This study aimed to determine the level of malarial transmission during the dry season in Sakassou, Côte d'Ivoire. Female mosquitoes were sampled using human landing catches (HLCs) and pyrethrum spraying catches (PSCs).

Insecticide Resistance and Metabolic Mechanisms in from Two Agrosystems (Vegetable and Cotton Crops) in Côte d'Ivoire.

The emergence of insecticide resistance in vectors mosquitoes poses a real challenge for arboviral-borne disease control. In Côte d'Ivoire, data are available on phenotypic resistance and the presence of kdr mutations in . Therefore, information on metabolic resistance in populations is very scarce.

Seasonal variation and intra urban heterogeneity of the entomological risk of transmission of dengue and yellow fever in Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire.

Dengue and yellow fever are prevalent in Côte d'Ivoire and Aedes (Stegomyia) aegypti (Linnaeus), (Diptera: Culicidae), is known as the main vector. We aimed to assess seasonal variation and spatial heterogeneity in the transmission of both arbovirus diseases in Abidjan. Entomological surveys targeting larvae of A.

Spatial Heterogeneity and Seasonal Distribution of () (L) in Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire.

Although the urban areas of Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire have faced recurrent outbreaks of -borne arboviruses, the seasonal dynamics of local populations of the key vector remained still underexplored for an effective vector control. The current study thus assessed the seasonal dynamics and the spatial distribution of . in three neighborhoods of Abidjan city.
