  abstract = {{F}ive trapping methods were compared for monitoring potential vectors of the {W}est {N}ile virus in four areas in the {C}amargue {P}lain of {F}rance: carbon dioxide traps, bird-baited traps, gravid traps, resting boxes, and human landing catches. {A} total of 73,721 specimens, representing 14 species, was trapped in 2006. {R}esults showed significant differences in species and abundance between the type of traps. {M}any more specimens were collected using {CO}2 traps than any other method, with an average of 212 specimens per night per trap (p<0.05). {C}ulex pipiens was the most abundant species collected (36.8% of total with {CO}2 traps), followed by {A}edes caspius (22.7%), {A}nopheles hyrcanus (18.3%), {C}ulex modestus (18.3%), and {A}edes detritus (3.2%). {B}ird-baited traps captured only eight specimens per night per trap on average, mainly {C}x. pipiens (89.9%). {T}he species collected and their abundance are influenced by the trap location, at ground or canopy level. {C}ulex pipiens was twice as abundant in the canopy as on the ground, whereas it was the opposite for {A}e. caspius, {A}n. hyrcanus, and {A}e. detritus. {C}ulex modestus was equally abundant at both levels. {R}esting boxes and gravid traps were much less efficient, capturing around 0.3 specimens per night per trap. {R}esults are discussed in relation to {W}est {N}ile virus surveillance.},
