  abstract = {{D}engue is an emerging infectious disease of global significance. {A}lthough this virus has been reported for a long time, its significance within the burden of diseases in {W}est {A}frica is not obvious, especially in {B}urkina {F}aso. {O}ur objective was to evaluate flavivirus presence in {O}uagadougou ({B}urkina {F}aso) and the link between anti-flavivirus antibody seroprevalence and urbanization modes. {A} population-based cross-sectional survey was conducted and 3015 children were enrolled from {O}uagadougou districts with different types and degrees of urbanization (with/without equipment and high/low building density). {F}lavivirus ({FLAV}) {I}g{M} {MAC}-{ELISA} and {FLAV} indirect {I}g{G} {ELISA} were performed. {A}ssociations between {FLAV} {I}g{G} presence (sign of past infection) and various independent variables were assessed using the chi-square test and a multivariate logistic regression analysis. {T}he apparent prevalence of past flavivirus infections among the enrolled children was 22.7% (95% {CI}: 22.4-26.7) (n = 685). {E}leven children (0.4%; 95% {CI}: 0.61-2.14) were positive for {FLAV} {I}g{M}, indicating active transmission. {F}actors associated with flavivirus infection were identified among the enrolled children (age, sex), householders (educational level, asset index) and in the environment (building density, water access, waste management and house appearance); however, they showed great variability according to the city districts. {T}he water access modality did not significantly influence {FLAV} {I}g{G} positivity. {C}onversely, apparently good practices of waste management had unexpected consequences (increased risk related to municipal dumpsters). {G}iven the scale of ongoing urbanization and the spread of arboviral diseases, close collaboration between health and city stakeholders is needed.},
