  abstract = {{A}edes borne viruses represent public health problems in southern countries and threat to emerge in the developed world. {T}heir control is currently based on vector population control. {M}uch effort is being devoted to develop new tools to control such arbovirus. {R}ecent findings suggest that the evaluation of human antibody ({A}b) response to arthropod salivary proteins is relevant to measuring the level of human exposure to mosquito bites. {U}sing an immunoepidemiological approach, the present study aimed to assess the usefulness of the salivary biomarker for measuring the efficacy of {A}e. albopictus control strategies in {L}a {R}eunion urban area. {T}he antisaliva {A}b response of adult humans exposed to {A}e. albopictus was evaluated before and after vector control measures. {O}ur results showed a significant correlation between antisaliva {A}b response and the level of exposure to vectors bites. {T}he decrease of {A}e. albopictus density has been detected by this biomarker two weeks after the implementation of control measures, suggesting its potential usefulness for evaluating control strategies in a short time period. {T}he identification of species specific salivary proteins/peptides should improve the use of this biomarker.},
