  abstract = {{D}isease caused by the {Z}ika virus ({ZIKV}) is a public health emergency of international concern. {R}ecent epidemics have emerged in different regions of the world and attest to the ability of the virus to spread wherever its vector, {A}edes species mosquitoes, can be found. {W}e have compared the transmission of {ZIKV} by {A}e. aegypti ({PAEA} strain originating from {T}ahiti) and by a {F}rench population of {A}e. albopictus to better assess their competence and the potential risk of the emergence of {ZIKV} in {E}urope. {W}e assessed the transmission of {ZIKV} by {A}e. albopictus in temperatures similar to those in {S}outhern {F}rance during the summer. {O}ur study shows that the extrinsic incubation period of {A}e. aegypti for transmission was shorter than that of {A}e. albopictus. {B}oth vectors were able to transmit {ZIKV} from 10 to 14 days post-infection. {A}e. aegypti, however, had a longer transmission period than the {F}rench population of {A}e. albopictus. {A}lthough the salivary glands of both vectors are highly infected, transmission rates of {ZIKV} to saliva remain relatively low. {T}hese observations may suggest that the risk of emergence of {ZIKV} in {E}urope could be low.},
