  abstract = {{O}nly few data exist in {C}ambodia on mosquito diversity and their potential role as vectors. {M}any arboviruses, such as dengue and {J}apanese encephalitis, are endemic and mostly affect children in the country. {T}his research sets out to evaluate vector relative abundance and diversity in primary schools in {C}ambodia in an attempt to explain the apparent burden of dengue fever, severe dengue ({DEN}), {J}apanese encephalitis ({JE}), other arboviral diseases and malaria among children, 15 years and under, attending selected primary schools through vector surveys. {E}ntomological surveys were implemented in primary schools in two provinces of {C}ambodia to assess the potential risk of exposure of schoolchildren to mosquito vector species. {L}ight traps and {BG} traps were used to collect adult mosquitoes in 24 schools during the rainy and dry seasons of 2017 and 2018 in {K}ampong {C}ham and {T}boung {K}hmum provinces. {A} total of 61 species were described, including {A}edes, {C}ulex and {A}nopheles species. {T}he relative abundance and biodiversity of mosquito species were dependent on the month and school. {O}f the 37,725 mosquitoes caught during the study, three species accounted for three-quarters of the relative abundance: {C}ulex vishnui, {A}nopheles indefinitus and {C}ulex quinquefasciatus. {M}ore importantly, nearly 90% of the mosquitoes caught in the schools were identified as potential vectors of pathogens including {J}apanese encephalitis, dengue, and malaria parasites. {O}ur results showed that schools in {C}ambodia represent a risk for vector-borne disease transmission and highlight the importance of implementing vector control in schools in {C}ambodia to decrease the risk of transmission},
