Popis: Malaria vectors are supposedly uncommon in urban areas owing to the lack of suitable breeding sites for their development. However, the maintenance in urban areas of traditional rural practices along with humanitarian crisis can create favorable conditions for malaria transmission. This study aimed to provide relevant entomological data on the risk of malaria transmission in the city of Bouaké, after the military-political crisis from 2002 to 2011 in Côte d'Ivoire. Adults mosquitoes were collected by human landing catches in Dar Es Salam, Kennedy and N'gattakro neighborhoods. Potential breeding sites were georeferenced and mapped using a GPS. Mosquito species were identified morphologically and by molecular methods.
