  abstract = {{A}rbovirus infections, mainly transmitted by {A}edes mosquito, are emerging in {A}frica. {E}fficient vector control requires an understanding of ecological factors which could impact on the risk of transmission, such as environmental changes linked to agricultural practices. {T}he present study aims to assess the level of human exposure to {A}edes mosquito bites in different agroecosystem area, using an immunological tool which quantifies human {I}g{G} antibody response to one {A}e. aegypti salivary peptide. {S}pecific {I}g{G} responses were assessed during dry and rainy seasons, in children living in different villages in {C}ote d'{I}voire: {N}'{Z}ikro (rubber and oil palm exploitations), {E}hania-{V}5 (oil palm), and {A}yebo (without intensive agricultural activities). {I}n the dry season, specific {I}g{G} levels were significantly lower in {A}yebo compared to {E}hania-{V}5 and {N}'{Z}ikro and, interestingly, were similarly high in both villages with cultivations. {I}n the rainy season, no difference of specific {I}g{G} was observed between villages. {S}pecific {I}g{G} responses remained therefore high during both seasons in villages associated with intensive agricultural. {T}he rubber and oil palm cultivations could maintain a high level of human exposure to {A}edes mosquito bites during both dry and rainy seasons. {T}hese agricultural activities could represent a permanent risk factor of the transmission of arboviruses.},
